Self Esteem
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Difficulties with self-esteem often reflect long-standing patterns of self-criticism, comparison, or internal pressure. I work with individuals to understand how these patterns developed and how they continue to shape daily life. Therapy focuses on building a more stable, realistic, and compassionate sense of self.

Self Esteem
Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Most of us learn at some point in our lives that there are pieces of us that will be accepted and pieces that will not. When we struggle to feel accepted and loved for who we are, we often develop low self-esteem that presents in a number of ways, including depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. I work with clients to decrease shame and increase self-love. I utilize a number of techniques to do this but especially love inner child meditations and reparenting. Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more!

Self Esteem
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Together we explore how early experiences and internalized messages have shaped the way you see yourself. Therapy becomes a space to reclaim self-worth, strengthen inner authority, and live from a place of authenticity rather than self-criticism.

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, APCC
Often in life, we experience difficult situations, transitions, or changes that can make us feel lost, anxious, and overwhelmed. Therapy should be a process where you have the right to fully express your true authentic self while rising to your fullest potential.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
