Self Esteem
Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may be hard on yourself no matter how much you accomplish. Maybe you question your worth, compare yourself to others, people-please, or rely on outside validation to feel okay. Even when others see your strengths, it can be difficult for you to truly feel them.
Low self-esteem is often rooted in earlier experiences that shaped how you learned to see yourself. In therapy, we’ll explore the beliefs, relational patterns, and nervous system responses that keep self-doubt in place. Over time, you can develop a more grounded sense of worth, stronger boundaries, and a relationship with yourself that feels kinder and more secure.

When You Feel “Not Enough”
You may look like you have it all together — capable, caring, successful — yet underneath it all, you’re often questioning yourself. You replay conversations, worry you’ve disappointed someone, or feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Even small mistakes can feel huge, and compliments are hard to believe. If you’re stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-criticism, or people-pleasing, I can help you change how you relate to yourself from the inside out.
Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, we’ll uncover the beliefs that fuel low self-worth and learn how to replace them with compassion, confidence, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work to:
Quiet the inner critic that keeps moving the goalpost
Identify and challenge distorted thoughts about your value and competence
Build emotional resilience so your mood isn’t dependent on others’ approval
Strengthen your sense of identity and confidence in your choices
Experience genuine self-respect — not the temporary kind that fades with praise or performance
You’ll gain tools you can use daily to shift from feeling “not enough” to knowing you are already whole. Therapy becomes less about “fixing yourself” and more about discovering your worth that’s been there all along.
I BELIEVE:
You can be both confident and a work in progress.
Self-compassion creates change faster than self-criticism ever will.
You deserve relationships that mirror your true worth — not your self-doubt.
Confidence is a skill you can learn, not a personality trait you either have or don’t.
Growth happens when we replace judgment with curiosity and kindness.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Difficulties with self-esteem often reflect long-standing patterns of self-criticism, comparison, or internal pressure. I work with individuals to understand how these patterns developed and how they continue to shape daily life. Therapy focuses on building a more stable, realistic, and compassionate sense of self.

Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein

You want to feel good about yourself, but instead that critic inside your head has a louder voice. Together we can discover why it's so loud and how to replace it.
