Self Esteem
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Self-esteem may be an overused term, but ultimately, feeling good and clear and confident about what it means to be you is at the root of how you move through life and the kind of life you build and end up with. You were placed on this Earth in order to know yourself, to see yourself clearly, to understand your strengths and weaknesses, to play on your strengths and shore up your weaknesses, and to make the best contribution you can. In doing so, you also find your deepest and most abiding happiness. So many of us have been given the wrong guidance, have been fed lies about who we really are, have been steered in wrong directions. When you find your own true North Star, you'll feel strong and you'll see your way forward.

Courtney Whetstone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is a very good and practical skill to have and what these seasons will teach you is how to change the negative mindset that goes into low self esteem. We will work on reading those negative stories we tell ourselves into a much more positive mindset and belief system

Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Self-esteem is the degree to which we feel worthy, valuable and confident in any particular moment in time. Without the proper skill-set, these feelings or beliefs can significantly affect our well-being and social interactions.
Low self-esteem is associated with feelings of self-criticism, self-doubt, shame, social isolation, sadness, guilt, and suppressed anger. Low self-esteem is also commonly a symptom of several mental health conditions including depression and anxiety.

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.

Cait Glenn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Everyone says how great you are...you know your accomplishments and you have met goals you have set, but for some reason you just don’t feel worthy or good enough. Self-doubt and that inner critic don’t have to be so loud anymore. I can help you get to a place where you feel good about you.
