Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Your relationship with yourself influences every area of your life. When your self-esteem has been affected by past experiences, criticism, trauma, difficult relationships, or unrealistic expectations, it can become hard to trust yourself, recognize your strengths, or believe that you are worthy of love, success, and happiness. You may struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, or constantly comparing yourself to others. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you can explore the experiences that have shaped the way you see yourself. Together, we'll identify the negative beliefs and patterns that keep you feeling stuck while building a stronger foundation of self-confidence, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to challenge self-critical thoughts, process unresolved experiences, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and develop a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself. If low self-esteem is connected to childhood experiences, emotional abuse, trauma, or difficult relationships, therapy can help you heal those underlying wounds rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Our goal isn't to help you become someone different—it's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath fear, self-criticism, and limiting beliefs. As your confidence grows, you'll be better equipped to make decisions that align with your values, cultivate healthier relationships, advocate for your needs, and pursue the life you want with greater clarity and self-assurance.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Low self-esteem can make you feel unworthy, insecure, or constantly second-guessing yourself. Often, it develops from early experiences, criticism, or unrealistic expectations. In therapy, we help clients uncover the root of these beliefs, challenge negative self-talk, and build a stronger, healthier sense of self. Through evidence-based strategies and Christ-centered guidance, you’ll learn to embrace your inherent worth, develop self-compassion, and step into life with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Self-Esteem is such a difficult thing to work on for people. We are always our own worst critics. We tell ourselves so many negative things about ourselves if we have low self-esteem. It affects our relationships with others. It is important to recognize the value in improving your self-esteem and I can assist you in that process. It is not about saying phony things, it's about understanding the core issues that contribute to your low self-esteem. From there, we can build your self-esteem from the ground up.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Most of us learn at some point in our lives that there are pieces of us that will be accepted and pieces that will not. When we struggle to feel accepted and loved for who we are, we often develop low self-esteem that presents in a number of ways, including depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. I work with clients to decrease shame and increase self-love. I utilize a number of techniques to do this but especially love inner child meditations and reparenting. Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more!

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.

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.
