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.

Michelle Fagan
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
If you struggle with self-esteem, you may have limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck. Many times, we internalize messages from the outside world and adopt them as our own-as if they are the truth. Together, we will explore your limiting beliefs, where they came from, and ultimately release you from their grip.

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.

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.

Glenn Permar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
For many high-functioning adults, self-esteem struggles don’t look dramatic. They show up as constant self-criticism, second-guessing, or feeling like you’re never quite doing enough. Long-term pressure can turn high standards into internal tension. In therapy, we explore the beliefs driving that pressure and build steadier, more compassionate patterns so confidence feels grounded rather than forced.

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.
