Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if you saw yourself the way others saw you? Imagine if you could finally feel like you're good enough, doing enough, loved enough. What if you talked to others the way you talked to yourself? How come your inner critic is giving you such a hard time?
Improving the relationship you have with yourself is where therapy often starts.
Let's make sense of the recurring themes in your negative self-talk. You'll practice re-evaluating what your mind's telling you to make sure it's accurate, representative, and helpful for you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Where did these self-defeating messages come from? How can we reframe them to be more encouraging and reassuring so they stop holding you back?
You'll learn your preferences, your triggers, and how to assert boundaries through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). You'll identify your values and start noticing when people push you to act in ways that contradict what's most important to you through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
This is all figure-out-able.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Self-esteem is complicated, and we should talk to see if my training is the right approach for you. But when people feel unsafe or anxious within their own bodies, it can be pretty easy to start looking at yourself with wariness, judgment, or shame.
Somatic Experiencing in this case seeks to help you feel safer in your body, to handle any old feelings of danger so you can feel more vital and alive. Dare I say, we can even take small steps towards enjoying the feeling of life.
Once there is enjoyment, and awareness of that enjoyment, self-esteem starts looking much less fixed.

Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Hypnotherapy for self-esteem helps you uncover and transform the subconscious beliefs that hold you back from feeling confident and worthy. Through guided hypnosis, you can release self-doubt, quiet your inner critic, and build a stronger sense of self-trust. This gentle, focused approach helps you align your thoughts and emotions with who you truly are. Experience how hypnotherapy can help you develop lasting confidence and authentic self-worth. One of my clients recently shared with me:
"Through our work together, my self-worth has changed. I have a new sense of my value in the world. There is a confidence and a strong sense of who I really am."
If you'd like to open the door to feeling more confident, more worthy, and more ready to live a life that feels like your own, I'd love to hear from you.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience working with clients who are suffering with self-esteem issues. I approach these issues with ACT, body-oriented practices and mindfulness, as well as identifying earlier childhood patterns and internalizations that created a poor sense of self and low self esteem. I encourage self-compassion first and foremost with these clients.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Struggles with self-esteem often develop from early experiences that shaped how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve. Together we explore the origins of self-criticism, perfectionism, and negative core beliefs. Using trauma-informed and somatic approaches, we work to quiet the inner critic and build a more grounded, stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on constant achievement or approval.
