Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self-Esteem and confidence in ourselves is often lost early on and reinforced again and again along the journey of life. Some people who grew up without a father present or never knew their father often second-guess themselves. This happens because the Father's main role is building confidence in their children, while the mother's main role is nurturing their children. When children have both parents involved in their lives, they have more chance growing up as confident, productive adults.

Self-esteem is an ever evolving issue for many and one that tends to be a huge problem in young adulthood. Often tangled up in core beliefs about yourself and others, self-esteem can be one of those beasts that feels you are never able to defeat. Utilizing ACT I can help you to learn how to become more confident in yourself and help you to foster self compassion.

Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self-compassion is often better than self-esteem because it gives you a steadier, more resilient way to relate to yourself. Instead of depending on success, approval, or comparison, it treats you with kindness even when things go wrong, which makes it easier to recover from mistakes and keep growing. Self-esteem can rise and fall with performance, but self-compassion stays grounded in the simple idea you are worthy of care as a person. That makes it a healthier foundation for confidence, motivation, and emotional balance.

Santa Clara is at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to the global headquarters of major technology companies and a dense ecosystem of tech employers whose high-performance culture creates the well-documented mental health challenges of the sector—burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chronic stress of working at the frontier of global competition. The city is exceptionally diverse, with large South Asian and East Asian communities representing a significant proportion of the workforce, and the cultural dimensions of mental health stigma and help-seeking within these communities shape how therapy is accessed. Santa Clara University's Jesuit tradition contributes a values-oriented approach to student well-being, and the university's counseling center serves its student population. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, anxiety, bicultural identity and acculturation stress, relationship difficulties, and the financial pressure of one of the most expensive housing markets in the country.
