Tracy Sondern
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT #135825
Loss of identity can lead to self esteem issues. Throughout our lives we morph into different identities, with some phases of life, like motherhood or a demanding job causing us to lose sight of who we are. This can lead to depression and anxiety. I am strength based and will help you locate and build on your strengths, while changing the parts that aren’t working. I want you to access the best version of yourself, to feel grounded and confident and mostly to feel like you.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Self-esteem, sense of self, and sense of self efficacy are central issues in my work with individual clients. My approach is to help clients develop greater levels of self acceptance, to discard unhealthy conditions of self worth they have internalized, while at the same time evolving lives which provide them with realistic sources of esteem in ways that are in line with their values and abilities.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In addressing the complex issue of self-esteem in my practice, I delve deep into the root causes that underpin feelings of low self-worth, focusing on individuals who, due to their empathetic nature, high sensitivity, or autism, experience the world with intense emotional depth. These unique traits, while profound gifts, can also lead to overwhelming self-criticism, anxiety, and shame, often stemming from an acute awareness of others' emotions and judgments. This heightened sensitivity can culminate in challenges such as difficulty setting boundaries, a propensity towards people-pleasing, and perfectionism, all of which can erode self-esteem and contribute to a sense of burnout and disconnection from one's true self.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that low self-esteem often arises from these deep-seated patterns of thinking and interacting with the world. By exploring the origins of these feelings—whether they're rooted in childhood experiences, societal expectations, or the intrinsic challenges of navigating life with heightened sensitivity—we embark on a journey of healing and transformation. This process is focused on uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of low self-esteem, moving beyond surface-level solutions to foster lasting change.
Together, we work to develop healthier boundaries, reduce self-criticism, and embrace authenticity, empowering individuals to reclaim their self-worth independently of external validation. The goal is to help those I work with to confidently shine their light, building connections that honor their authentic selves, and to discover a sense of self that is free from overwhelm and self-doubt. This depth-oriented, root cause approach to therapy is about nurturing a strong, resilient sense of self-esteem that supports a life of fulfillment, confidence, and genuine connection, celebrating the unique gifts of sensitivity and empathy as sources of strength and connection.
