Self Esteem

Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy & Authentic Identity
Building Grounded Worth Beyond External Validation
True self-esteem is not about ungrounded positive thinking or fragile ego perfectionism. For high-achieving professionals, executives, and gifted individuals, external success often masks a persistent internal narrative of self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a fragile sense of self that depends entirely on continuous achievement.
My approach to self-esteem and self-efficacy addresses the root architecture of how you view yourself. We move beyond superficial "self-help" fixes to cultivate an enduring, resilient sense of intrinsic worth—one that remains stable through life's successes, setbacks, and transitions.
An Integrative Framework for Identity & Growth
Drawing upon psychoanalytic depth, modern cognitive science, and humanistic philosophy, our work integrates several core clinical principles:
Self Psychology & Cohesive Self-Structure: Grounded in the insights of Heinz Kohut and modern depth psychology, we work to build a cohesive, healthy self-structure. We shift away from defensive or fragile validation-seeking, helping you develop an authentic, realistic appreciation of your inherent capabilities, unique strengths, and human limitations.
Shedding Internalized Conditions of Worth: Rooted in Carl Rogers’ humanistic tradition, we identify and dismantle the outdated, perfectionistic scripts and conditional expectations internalized from early family dynamics, school environments, or high-pressure cultures.
ACT Defusion & Cognitive Unhooking: Utilizing tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), you learn to unhook from harsh internal dialogue, impostor thoughts, and self-limiting beliefs—viewing them as temporary mental events rather than absolute truths.
Dweck’s Growth Mindset: We transform your relationship with failure, criticism, and challenge. By shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth orientation, setbacks cease to be threats to your core identity and instead become essential data points for mastery.
Self-Compassion & Emotional Resilience: Replacing relentless self-criticism with deep, practical self-compassion, allowing you to hold yourself accountable while maintaining an unwavering baseline of self-respect.
Values-Aligned Self-Efficacy
Ultimately, healthy self-esteem flourishes when your daily actions align with your core values and real-world capabilities.
We systematically align your lifestyle, career choices, and relationships with what matters most to you. By building genuine self-efficacy—the grounded confidence in your ability to navigate challenges and achieve meaningful goals—you cultivate a quiet, unshakeable self-worth that serves as the foundation for your entire life.

Self Esteem
Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Self-esteem is a basic human need. A self is there to be realized and celebrated and not to be aborted and denied. Self-esteem is - in a comprehensive sense - the experience of feeling equal to life and all its challenges.
Self Esteem means to respect myself. But how can I deepen my understanding of self-respect and my resolve to uphold it?
Self-respect provides us honor and happiness, something most of us strive for through all sorts of means. We may try to buy our happiness with new technology, clothes, or vacations. We may try to beautify our bodies in hopes that others will honor us and make us feel loved. Many try to climb to unnecessary heights of material wealth to attract the joy we see missing around us. But those methods usually don’t work. If self-respect forms an important part of how we achieve the happiness and honor we crave, it seems pretty important that we understand it.
I work with the method of Nathaniel Branden and support people in the different 6 pillars of self-esteem. These are: 1. living consciously - 2. self-acceptance - 3. living self-reliantly - 4. asserting oneself - 5. living purposefully - 6. personal integrity.

Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I provide therapy for people who struggle with low self esteem, whether it stems from childhood, trauma, or other factors. Low self esteem can affect your happiness, relationships, career, and health. It can cause you to feel insecure, inadequate, or unworthy. I can help you improve your self esteem and feel more confident and positive about yourself. My approach is based on a combination of techniques that suit your needs and goals, such as EMDR, CBT, motivational interviewing, parts work, somatic work, and mindfulness. These are proven methods that can help you process your negative beliefs and experiences and reduce their negative impact on your present and future. They can also help you feel more empowered, authentic, and optimistic. I’m a friendly and respectful therapist who will create a safe and supportive space for you to work through your self esteem issues, discover your strengths, and enhance your well-being.
