Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Self-esteem is a self-narrative. Many of us unfortunately absorb a negative narrative from the people and society around us and we start to believe it. The truth is that we are who we say we are. I help clients identify how they relate to themselves and treat themselves. I help bring awareness to the harsh critic inside clients that can operate behind the scenes and sabotage our hopes and dreams. I offer guidance in how to transform their negative self-narrative from an inhumane one to a more compassionate one to then a more positive and encouraging narrative. The endeavor to liberate ourselves from our inner critics is one of the most powerful acts of self-love we can make.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
We all have an inner voice, but for some that voice can be overwhelmingly negative and self-critical. Hypnotherapy can be used to "flip the script", teaching you tools to turn negative self-talk into powerful self-motivation.

Lisa 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.

Charis Khoury
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
The most rewarding relationship to develop is that with yourself because it affects all areas of life- in a loving environment, we see what gets in the way and (re)discover our inherent worth.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You have just taken a small, ginormous step in healing your sense of self. To reach out for help is a BIG declaration of "I am worth it," "I can live a freer life, a kinder to myself life." I am so appreciative of your courage at this very moment. Together, we'll reflect on other times you've taken these small, ginormous steps in recognizing your sense of self, as well as, your intrinsic sense of self-worth. We'll get to know the painful, and, the uplifting messages that tend to echo in your mind, body, and spirit. We'll discover the parts of you that are really holding true to these different messages, and, we'll learn new roles for these parts that are more helpful to you now. There will be time for story-telling and for story-rewriting. We'll heal stories known in word memory, as well as, the stories known only in your body. You'll be the director, and I'll be right there with you paving paths, highlighting different options on the journey towards a more confident posture as you live your most genuine life--being known, safely, by yourself and others.

Vanessa Ffrench
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (103346), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience working with clients who are suffering with self-esteem issues. I approach these issues with ACT, body-oriented practices and mindfulness, as well as identifying earlier childhood patterns and internalizations that created a poor sense of self and low self esteem. I encourage self-compassion first and foremost with these clients.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my approach to supporting clients with self-esteem issues, I create a warm and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and understand the roots of their feelings towards themselves. Incorporating a blend of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic techniques, such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I guide clients on a journey towards self-acceptance and confidence. This comprehensive method not only addresses the immediate challenges related to self-esteem but also fosters a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-compassion. By working together to identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier ways of relating to oneself, clients can build a more positive self-image and enhance their overall quality of life. My role is to support and empower you through this process of self-discovery, providing the tools and insights to establish a positive self-acceptance.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Self-esteem and self-worth can often be old negative beliefs and narratives that have been repeated over time by others and with your internal dialogue. Learning self-compassion and practicing the nurture of self-care can help to create a different and more loving relationship with yourself.
