Self Esteem
Timothy Long
Registered Psychotherapist
For most my life I suffered from low self esteem. I also had severe social anxiety. I was depressed and very stuck. I procrastinated about everything. Much of my low self esteem stemmed from growing up in a dysfunctional family and from school. No matter what the cause of your low self esteem, I can help you resolve it. I have worked with 100s of clients successfully. Please schedule a 30 minute complimentary consultation on my website so we can discuss how i can help you live a confident life and create the life you really want to live.

Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Do you experience a lack of confidence in yourself and your abilities? There can be many reasons for experiencing this. A helpful place to begin is by learning how you relate with yourself. Are you hard on yourself? Self-critical - use a lot of "should's," "need to's," or "if only I was perfect...then." This kind of dialogue is self-critical and can contribute to feeling low self-esteem. When you feel low about yourself, its incredibly difficult to thrive in your relationships, work, school, and overall life. We work on exploring and confronting your critical voice so that you can shift your inner dialogue.

Self-esteem can be shaped by the many messages we receive that tell us we're not good enough. We help you untangle those messages from your innate goodness and loveability. Through a somatic approach, we support you in reconnecting with your own needs, strengths, and sense of self-worth.

Chris Davis
Counselor/Therapist, M.A.
Low self-esteem often involves more than simply having negative thoughts about yourself. Over time, experiences of criticism, rejection, comparison, failure, or difficult relationships can shape the way you see yourself and what you expect from others. I help clients become more aware of these patterns, understand where they came from, and develop a relationship with themselves that is less governed by judgment and more grounded in direct experience.

Susana Levy, Makaua Art Therapy
Art Therapist, LPCC, ATRP
My specialty is supporting self-esteem and self-worth through mindfulness-based, person-centered practices that encourage self-connection and self-compassion. Drawing on rituals and rites of passage, along with my work as a cacao facilitator and yoga teacher, I create grounding, affirming spaces where inner strengths can be reclaimed. I value compassionate presence, creativity, and embodied awareness as pathways to exploring thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the here and now.

Low self-esteem can exist for a variety of reasons, but is particularly prevalent among adolescents and young adults and can significantly impact quality of life, interpersonal relationships, decision making, and mental health.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Self esteem can be tough to access when there has been early life and childhood trauma. When our caregivers cannot reflect our goodness back to us from an early age, we often struggle to feel worthy and have a hard time with self-love. Therapy can be a wonderful support to find that healthy self esteem, self love and worthiness. We can work with resourcing to help you find the places within that already know that esteem, worthiness, and love so we can draw it outward and encourage it to ground more into your everyday life.

Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Low self esteem is almost an epidemic in our culture - so many people suffer from it. Self esteem issues stem, in part, from deeply held beliefs and 'stories' we have about ourselves, which aren't actually true - although we believe they are. It is possible to clear up these beliefs and 'stories' on an emotional and 'felt sense' level through Brainspotting or EMDR. You can then open to a clearer sense of who you really are without these old tapes and stories.

Xandra Hawes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Low self-esteem often stems from old narratives or conditioning that have shaped how you see yourself. Our work focuses on healing these deeper emotional patterns while reconnecting you with the truth of who you are at a soul level. Through mindfulness, somatic awareness, and intuitive exploration, you learn to see yourself with compassion, clarity, and respect. As self-esteem strengthens, your relationships, boundaries, and sense of purpose grow stronger as well.

Low self esteem can be related to an unkind environment in our upbringing. I help peopel to meet what's true for them related to self esteem, and in doing so, support a natural sense of self understanding, compassion, and appreciation to arise.

David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
We live in a culture of comparison. We’re taught to look outside ourselves for value. About our appearance, our social status, or wealth, etc.
As a result, we compare ourselves to others and often find ourselves lacking. We look down on, blame, and judge ourselves. Our self-esteem suffers.
We can build our self-esteem by getting to know ourselves: your passions, values, gifts and skills.
Once we have a sense of these things, we can incorporate them more into our lives on a day to day basis. By appreciating and using our strengths, acknowledging and acting from our values, and using our unique gifts and skills in service of others, we can start to feel a greater sense of fulfillment, purpose, and contentment with ourselves.
I’d be honored to support you in getting to know yourself; your passions, values, gifts and skills. We can then use that information to support you in living from those more and more on a daily basis, and to help you find more contentment and satisfaction with yourself and your life.

Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
