Self Esteem
Averill Hovey
Art Therapist, MA, MA, LPC-S, ATR-BC, EMDR
Self-esteem shapes how you see yourself, interpret your experiences, and move through the world. When self-worth feels fragile, you may struggle with self-criticism, comparison, perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or a persistent sense that you are not enough.
My approach to self-esteem work is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on understanding the experiences that have shaped how you relate to yourself. Drawing from Gestalt and experiential approaches, art therapy, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and attachment-informed work, I help you notice critical inner patterns, reconnect with your emotions and needs, and develop a more supportive relationship with yourself.
Therapy can offer a space to explore where self-doubt comes from and begin building greater self-acceptance, confidence, and self-trust. Together, we can work toward recognizing your strengths, honoring your boundaries, and making choices that reflect your values rather than fear or self-judgment.

Self Esteem
Dr. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
Low self-esteem often takes root early, shaped by experiences that left you feeling unseen, criticized, or not quite good enough. These beliefs can quietly influence how you show up in relationships, at work, and in how you speak to yourself. In the body, they may appear as shrinking, collapse, or a familiar sense of tightness when you are seen or praised. Somatic work helps you notice these responses and build a felt sense of steadiness and worth from the inside. Through embodied parts work, we gently get to know the parts of you that carry old messages of inadequacy, along with the parts that judge or doubt you, and offer them the compassion they may never have received. Over time, many clients develop a warmer, more positive relationship with themselves and a clearer vision of who they are.

Self Esteem
Jennifer Luttman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
Low self-esteem is a behavioral and thought pattern in which an individual lacks self-confidence and a healthy sense of self-regard.
While low self-esteem itself is not a medical diagnosis, it is often serious enough that it negatively impacts the life and well-being of the person with low self-esteem. It is likewise often accompanied by mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and can occur as a result of these conditions or on its own.
People with low self-esteem often report feeling awkward, incompetent, or worthless.
Their sense of self is typically fragile, and they are often hypervigilant to any signs of rejection or dislike from others. People with low self-esteem often seek the approval of others in order to feel good, and may, in some cases, form unhealthy, codependent relationships.
Low self-esteem can have a number of serious health consequences.
People with low self-esteem may not take proper care of themselves, forgoing adequate grooming and personal hygiene, and they may indulge in unhealthy habits such as binge eating and substance abuse in order to cope with their negative thoughts and feelings. Because they often lack confidence or feel guilt when asserting themselves, people with low self-esteem may greatly underestimate their capabilities and fail to live up to their fullest potential in their professional, social, and romantic lives.
