Self Esteem
Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem issues is a polite way of talking about shame. Underneath the mean things you say about yourself is shame and fear. I've struggled with this most of my life. The terrible things I used to say about myself always seemed to manifest around me, which kept me trapped. We will work to unwind the web of beliefs you have and find the beauty deep inside.

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
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
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
A lot of my clients look confident from the outside. They’re accomplished and capable, and they’re the person everyone relies on. Underneath, there’s a harsh inner critic, perfectionism, and a quiet belief that love has to be earned. Many are highly sensitive or neurodivergent and grew up being called “too much,” so they learned to shrink, people-please, and over-function to feel okay.
We look at where your sense of worth was shaped, in your family, your culture, and sometimes further back in your line. We get to know the critic and the parts that work so hard to prove you’re enough. Astrology helps here too. Your chart can show where worth was wounded, like a strong Chiron, the wounded healer, and where it can be reclaimed.

Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy & Authentic Identity
Building Grounded Worth Beyond External Validation
True self-esteem is not about ungrounded positive thinking or fragile ego perfectionism. For high-achieving professionals, executives, and gifted individuals, external success often masks a persistent internal narrative of self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a fragile sense of self that depends entirely on continuous achievement.
My approach to self-esteem and self-efficacy addresses the root architecture of how you view yourself. We move beyond superficial "self-help" fixes to cultivate an enduring, resilient sense of intrinsic worth—one that remains stable through life's successes, setbacks, and transitions.
An Integrative Framework for Identity & Growth
Drawing upon psychoanalytic depth, modern cognitive science, and humanistic philosophy, our work integrates several core clinical principles:
Self Psychology & Cohesive Self-Structure: Grounded in the insights of Heinz Kohut and modern depth psychology, we work to build a cohesive, healthy self-structure. We shift away from defensive or fragile validation-seeking, helping you develop an authentic, realistic appreciation of your inherent capabilities, unique strengths, and human limitations.
Shedding Internalized Conditions of Worth: Rooted in Carl Rogers’ humanistic tradition, we identify and dismantle the outdated, perfectionistic scripts and conditional expectations internalized from early family dynamics, school environments, or high-pressure cultures.
ACT Defusion & Cognitive Unhooking: Utilizing tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), you learn to unhook from harsh internal dialogue, impostor thoughts, and self-limiting beliefs—viewing them as temporary mental events rather than absolute truths.
Dweck’s Growth Mindset: We transform your relationship with failure, criticism, and challenge. By shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth orientation, setbacks cease to be threats to your core identity and instead become essential data points for mastery.
Self-Compassion & Emotional Resilience: Replacing relentless self-criticism with deep, practical self-compassion, allowing you to hold yourself accountable while maintaining an unwavering baseline of self-respect.
Values-Aligned Self-Efficacy
Ultimately, healthy self-esteem flourishes when your daily actions align with your core values and real-world capabilities.
We systematically align your lifestyle, career choices, and relationships with what matters most to you. By building genuine self-efficacy—the grounded confidence in your ability to navigate challenges and achieve meaningful goals—you cultivate a quiet, unshakeable self-worth that serves as the foundation for your entire life.
