Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
We all have a negative belief of self that connects to our experiences in the past affecting how we function in the present. Understanding what is under the surface of these dysfunctional thoughts can help us overcome the negative beliefs that can make it difficult to thrive. My hope is to help people improve their self worth and feel empowered to thrive in any situation.

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.

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.
