Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The way you see yourself can have a powerful impact on your relationships. When self-worth has been shaped by criticism, rejection, inconsistency, trauma, or difficult relationship experiences, it can become harder to trust yourself, express your needs, set boundaries, or feel secure in your connections with others. You may find yourself people-pleasing, seeking validation, staying in unhealthy relationships, questioning your worth, or feeling like you are never quite enough. I help you understand the experiences that shaped these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build healthier relationships rooted in authenticity, self-respect, and connection.

Tara McGrath

Most of us have an internal critical voice we have to contend with. For some people, that critic rules their lives. I like to help people reduce the impact of that inner critic and increase their self-compassion.

Self Esteem
Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is a term often tossed around, but what does it mean? It's learning to take excellent care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so we can share with our friends and family from our overflow, instead of being selfish and needy. It's the job of adults to take care of ourselves first, so we can take care of others. Sometimes people were raised in families that were very stressed and their was trauma that got in the way of this learning. That's ok. I can help. Learning how to take care of your adult self isn't that difficult and doesn't take much time. Then you just practice and grow.

A harsh inner critic can shape everything from relationships to career. Therapy helps clients notice where those critical voices come from and learn to respond differently, building confidence without slipping into arrogance.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Self-Esteem issues can affect a wide range of ages, most commonly, from teenagers to young adults. It is surprisingly a common problem among many women. I work with Feminisms' perspectives, especially when I work with females in my treatment. I take the empowerment of female clients in treatment seriously as it is a critical component of becoming a self-agent to protect and further develop self as well as how we feel about ourselves.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem quietly shapes everything, how we show up in relationships, how we handle conflict, how we talk to ourselves when things go wrong. Therapy helps you understand where those patterns came from and begin replacing them with something healthier. We work with clients to build genuine confidence rooted in self-awareness, self-compassion, and a clearer sense of who they are.

Self Esteem
Sarah Koerner
Psychologist, PsyD
I have many years of experience working with clients experiencing low self-esteem and not feeling great about themselves. I aim to help people reduce unhelpful thought loops, increase feelings of support in their life, like themselves better, and get back to finding things they enjoy so they can move forward. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

Self Esteem
Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Self esteem comes from our beliefs about ourselves which are often deeply rooted in past experiences. Accessing and changing these beliefs requires going beyond practicing affirmations and talking about how we feel. We have to access our subconscious beliefs, address where they came from and change them. I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting and somatic therapy are highly effective at doing just that.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Self-Esteem is closely connected to our values and behavior. Therapy can help you identify how your daily habits may be breaking down a healthy sense of self and how to replace those habits. Approaches I use to accomplish this work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Self esteem is a core area of wellness that is addressed across the therapeutic process. Negative beliefs, false assumptions, core beliefs of failure and inability, shame, isolation, and identity issues are organically incorporated in the therapy sessions. We utilize cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, family systems, coaching, and expressive arts to empower you and enhance self-esteem.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
