Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self-esteem isn't simply about thinking more positively about yourself. I help clients work with the deeper patterns of self-doubt, self-criticism, and putting others' needs ahead of their own, so they can develop greater self-trust, confidence, and a stronger sense of who they are.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
Self-esteem is developed from Unconditional Love, which we did not receive. Instead, all the PMES abandonment lead us to believe being un-loved was our fault. This is self-hate, which erodes our will & serenity. Developing the Loving Parent Voice heals & provides self-confidence. (Blog : 2011)

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Our sense of self-worth is so important. Valuing who are and what we can do is fuel for the soul. When that critical voice inside tells you, 'You're not good enough' or 'you're going to fail', your self-esteem's taking a hit. Over time, the negative thoughts become ruminations that can erode your sense of self and willingness to engage in life. I can help you unpack the negative thoughts and learn healthy strategies and tools to start feeling better about yourself.

Nikita Marina
Psychologist, Holistic Psychology and Coaching, Past Life Regression Therapy (IST), Spiritual Mentorship
Self-esteem stems from deep appreciation and acceptance of our personal worth and values. In the modern world, our perception and expectations of ourselves are heavily impacted by the distorted mirror of the social media. Even the most externally successful people can struggle from low self-esteem. If not addressed, it can potentially become a debilitating all consuming issue that spills out onto every aspect of one's life. The work on self-esteem is really the work on getting to know and accepting both the parts of us that we like and the aspects that we reject, also known as the Shadow.

Lisa Abdilova 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.

Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is complex and highly personal. Low self-esteem can cause problems, particularly in relationships. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, understand possible sources of them, and practice ways to help build an "internal anchor" from which you can confidently navigate the world.

Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When self-esteem feels low, it shows up everywhere. It changes how you talk to yourself, how you stand in your relationships, and what you believe you deserve in life. We will gently look at the stories you carry about who you are and check if they are actually true or just old habits you picked up along the way. Together we practice treating yourself with the same warmth and patience you would easily give to someone you care deeply about.
