Self Esteem
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self-compassion is often better than self-esteem because it gives you a steadier, more resilient way to relate to yourself. Instead of depending on success, approval, or comparison, it treats you with kindness even when things go wrong, which makes it easier to recover from mistakes and keep growing. Self-esteem can rise and fall with performance, but self-compassion stays grounded in the simple idea you are worthy of care as a person. That makes it a healthier foundation for confidence, motivation, and emotional balance.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I have worked with many different clients and their self-esteem. So many issues impact self-esteem so it is imperative to identify any and all areas of self-esteem in those many parts of the life. Also, having worked with addictions for over 30 years, self-esteem is always a part of that work.

Self Esteem
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have low self-esteem and want to develop a different relationship with yourself, you may be interested in learning more about self-compassion. Self-compassion refers to treating ourself with understanding and kindness during our time of suffering, perceived failing, and when we make mistakes. Self-compassion helps us to break free from the "Are you good enough?" narrative and into ‘What is good for me?’

Self Esteem
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Low self-esteem in teens is easy to miss, partly because so much of it looks like something else. It can show up as perfectionism, as not trying at all, as apologizing constantly, as needing a lot of reassurance, or as a teen who won't put themselves forward for anything. Some of the most confident-seeming kids are the hardest on themselves in private.
Comparison makes it worse, and teens now live inside an unprecedented amount of it. The measuring stick is always there, always updating, and always someone else's highlight reel.
I work with teens on what's underneath the self-criticism, not just the surface of it. Where did they learn to talk to themselves that way, and who taught it to them? We look at those beliefs directly, and build something steadier in their place. Alongside that, we work on practical things: recognizing what they're actually good at, setting boundaries in friendships, tolerating being disliked, and speaking up for what they need.
The aim isn't to convince your teen they're great. It's to help them relate to themselves with less contempt, so that failing at something stops meaning something about who they are.

Self Esteem
Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
With low self-esteem you may often feel shame and self-doubt. Here are some warning signs that may indicate that it's time to seek help in the form of talk therapy:
- You frequently feel overwhelmed, angry, ignored and/or taken advantage of in relationships
- You experience frequent and sudden mood swings
- You frequently have difficulty beginning, completing and/or accomplishing tasks (at work, school, personal or otherwise)
- You frequently feel alone and at a loss as to how to help yourself
- You're constantly trying to “fix,” “do” or “say” the right thing to get people to like you, or agree with you
By using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) I can help you: 1) Identify and understand the source(s) of low self-esteem, 2) Process past negative experiences in a safe, nurturing space, 3) Learn to recognize critical voices that are not your own, 4) Notice “all or nothing” thinking patterns. I can help you learn to use your voice effectively, help you identify what you want and need, recognize unhealthy thought patterns, and make small changes in your day to day life that will add up to big changes in your overall happiness and contentment in life.

Self Esteem
Thea Integrative Therapy: Celine R. Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT #155675
Self esteem work is essential to self actualization. If we not not believe we can, we will limit our potential in all things in life. Some individuals have used shame and harnessed low self esteem as a means of forcing action or productivity, however the ensuing blocks or achievements can feel hollow and meaningless.
Especially for LGBTQ creatives, self esteem challenges can hinder self expression, creative work, and ultimately joy in life.
Thea Integrative Therapy believes that true self actualization and joy in life is sourced from a grounded and positive sense of self. Together, we will work to identify your source of confidence challenges, and then develop a strategy to challenge this belief system to cultivate a secure relationship with your confident best self. You deserve to love yourself, you really do ! And we can show you how.
