Self Esteem
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In addressing the complex issue of self-esteem in my practice, I delve deep into the root causes that underpin feelings of low self-worth, focusing on individuals who, due to their empathetic nature, high sensitivity, or autism, experience the world with intense emotional depth. These unique traits, while profound gifts, can also lead to overwhelming self-criticism, anxiety, and shame, often stemming from an acute awareness of others' emotions and judgments. This heightened sensitivity can culminate in challenges such as difficulty setting boundaries, a propensity towards people-pleasing, and perfectionism, all of which can erode self-esteem and contribute to a sense of burnout and disconnection from one's true self.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that low self-esteem often arises from these deep-seated patterns of thinking and interacting with the world. By exploring the origins of these feelings—whether they're rooted in childhood experiences, societal expectations, or the intrinsic challenges of navigating life with heightened sensitivity—we embark on a journey of healing and transformation. This process is focused on uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of low self-esteem, moving beyond surface-level solutions to foster lasting change.
Together, we work to develop healthier boundaries, reduce self-criticism, and embrace authenticity, empowering individuals to reclaim their self-worth independently of external validation. The goal is to help those I work with to confidently shine their light, building connections that honor their authentic selves, and to discover a sense of self that is free from overwhelm and self-doubt. This depth-oriented, root cause approach to therapy is about nurturing a strong, resilient sense of self-esteem that supports a life of fulfillment, confidence, and genuine connection, celebrating the unique gifts of sensitivity and empathy as sources of strength and connection.

Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is a term often tossed around, but what does it mean? It's learning to take excellent care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so we can share with our friends and family from our overflow, instead of being selfish and needy. It's the job of adults to take care of ourselves first, so we can take care of others. Sometimes people were raised in families that were very stressed and their was trauma that got in the way of this learning. That's ok. I can help. Learning how to take care of your adult self isn't that difficult and doesn't take much time. Then you just practice and grow.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
When it comes to enhancing self-esteem, hypnotherapy helps by reaching the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs and perceptions about ourselves are stored. During a hypnotherapy session, clients are guided into a state of deep relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions and affirmations. Hypnotherapy can also help uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and work through them, empowering individuals to build a healthier and more positive self-image, paving the way for greater personal and professional fulfillment. Its holistic approach ensures that the benefits extend beyond mere symptom relief, fostering long-term growth and resilience.

Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Amazing topic! Our approach is self actualization driven as an amalgam of student directed pedagogies, neurodevelopmental applications or care, attachment/belonging circuit work, polyvagal based, parts work based, intersectional/contextual based...It's an in-house recipe for how we arrive at this, the science is generally working from context/orientation> existential> attachment based>trauma work>situational and relational and adding integrative, functional or bio/neurofeedback care (sometimes administered by others) along the way. With a CPTSD focus, it's about building inner harmony with the parts or different layers of the psyche. We may also honor and work from eastern meditation principles, nature and support for the intuitive.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Many people come to therapy feeling not “good enough,” second-guessing themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns that affect their confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.
In therapy, we explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped how you see yourself, while building greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients understand their emotional patterns and develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self. The goal is to help you move toward greater confidence, authenticity, and a more supportive relationship with yourself.

The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny.
