Self Esteem
Kim Colna
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Self Esteem is an individual's value of their own worth. Without treating this, it can have a huge impact on your daily life. With CBT, DBT, ACT, TFCBT, and solution focused therapy, I can provide the treatment you need to receive the care you need.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who appear capable and put together but carry a quiet, persistent sense of not being enough. This can look like self‑criticism, difficulty trusting your own judgment, comparing yourself to others, downplaying your own needs or accomplishments, or feeling like you are always falling short of who you are supposed to be. Many of the adults I see have spent years meeting expectations, supporting others, or performing well in work or school while privately feeling inadequate, invisible, or unsure of their worth.
Low self‑esteem often develops in environments where your needs were minimized, where you were praised for being responsible or easy, or where you learned to stay small to avoid conflict or disappointment. Over time, these patterns can shape how you see yourself, how you move through relationships, and what you believe you are allowed to want.
In our work together, we explore the origins of these beliefs and how they show up in your body, emotions, and daily life. We look at the roles you have carried, the expectations you have internalized, and the parts of you that are tired of feeling not enough. The goal is not to create artificial confidence but to help you develop a more grounded, accurate sense of yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice. Supporting people who have learned to minimize themselves or feel “not enough” is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve worked to hold things together.

Self Esteem
Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Are you done living a life of comparison, constantly checking off external measures of success, or regularly seeking external validation?
Self-esteem is often a central component in therapy and is frequently correlated with other mental health symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we see the goal of building a sense of intrinsic value as a key component to contentment and wellness. The treatment for building (or rebuilding) self-esteem begins with a deep exploration of the key life events and experiences that hindered the development of a connected CORE self, or began to chip away or destroy our core sense of worth. Some frequent ways that our self-esteem is negatively impacted are the following: early experiences of inadequate parenting, bullying, negative cultural messages, experiences of rejection/abandonment, the impact of social media, trauma, abuse, neglect, or lacking the tools of self-compassion or self-soothing. Here at Denver Wellness Counseling, our therapist often address these experiences with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to decrease the power of these memories and install a more positive self-concept. Treatment gains are then integrated within the present and future context.

Brittany Bouffard, LCSW, CYT
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CYT
So much impacts self-esteem: childhood hurts, trauma, and family relationships. I specialize in how these experiences lead to self-doubt, people-pleasing, not feeling "good enough," perfectionism, imposter syndrome, self-criticizing thoughts, and comparing to others. The list is long, but thankfully exploring emotions and experiences of the past help build an empowered knowing of self. Come return to the wisdom within - please see my profile and website for more about connecting with an assured you through therapy.

Cedric Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC
Most self-esteem issues go back to early attachment problems. I have taught courses on the development of the 'healthy self'.
I'd happily work with you to identify and work through problems of self-esteem or the sense of defectiveness and shame.

Naya Clinics Denver
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselors
What is Self-esteem?
Your self-esteem is how much you respect yourself, how desirable or worthy you feel, and how confident you are that you can face life’s challenges. When you have strong self-esteem, you feel that you can accomplish your goals, and you expect others to treat you with the dignity and respect that everyone deserves.
When you have weak or low self-esteem, rather than respecting yourself you talk down to yourself. Instead of feeling desirable, you feel ashamed; instead of believing you can accomplish your desires, you feel powerless. This feeling of worthlessness and lack of control grows into feelings of vulnerability, loneliness, and guilt.

Self Esteem
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Low self-esteem often grows out of shame and critical environments. IFS, attachment focused, trauma informed, and narrative therapy help uncover and transform negative beliefs, while mindfulness and humanistic approaches foster self-compassion. I provide careful diagnostic evaluation to distinguish self-esteem struggles from depression, trauma, or social anxiety.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
On the outside, you're swimming right along. On the inside, you feel like a fraud. A failure. Any minute now, someone might find out who you really are.
Ouch! It's so exhausting to keep beating yourself up and hiding that you're beating yourself up. Let's break that cycle. I work with folks to examine where this pattern came from, and how we can change those underlying beliefs to help you learn to love yourself. You deserve love. You deserve connection. You deserve healing. Let's get to work.

Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
One of the most fulfilling aspects of helping people in my practice is restoring a positive self image, self worth, and discovering inherent strengths. I like to use cognitive restructuring but also mindfulness visualization to build up an ideal version of oneself.
