Self Esteem
TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Many people struggle with knowing and valuing themselves. My goal is to offer a safe and empathetic space for you to explore who you are, who you used to be, who you want to be, and how those integrate.
It can be difficult to connect with others, especially when you don’t feel connected with yourself. You’re infested with thoughts and worries that make you hesitate from doing things that are good for you. You’re scared of how others will treat you, and you aren’t sure how to handle difficult conversations and situations. You’re scared to embrace change and the consequences that come with it.
I Will Help You:
Learn practical skills to overcome the fear and anxiety that make you hesitate from growing.
Align your life with your values.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
Incorporate healthy habits that evolve into a natural life style.
Know yourself, be yourself, and love yourself.
We are what we repeatedly do, so let's get you acting like the best version of yourself!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
With low self-esteem you may often feel shame and self-doubt. Here are some warning signs that may indicate that it's time to seek help in the form of talk therapy:
- You frequently feel overwhelmed, angry, ignored and/or taken advantage of in relationships
- You experience frequent and sudden mood swings
- You frequently have difficulty beginning, completing and/or accomplishing tasks (at work, school, personal or otherwise)
- You frequently feel alone and at a loss as to how to help yourself
- You're constantly trying to “fix,” “do” or “say” the right thing to get people to like you, or agree with you
By using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) I can help you: 1) Identify and understand the source(s) of low self-esteem, 2) Process past negative experiences in a safe, nurturing space, 3) Learn to recognize critical voices that are not your own, 4) Notice “all or nothing” thinking patterns. I can help you learn to use your voice effectively, help you identify what you want and need, recognize unhealthy thought patterns, and make small changes in your day to day life that will add up to big changes in your overall happiness and contentment in life.
