Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
Self-Esteem starts with being a friend to ourselves. It requires stopping negative self-talk and replacing it with positive thoughts. Irrational and limiting beliefs can also be a blockage against developing self-esteem. Self Esteem also takes action and real world success. As we have more positive self-talk, and start believing in ourselves we will start being more motivated because we believe we can succeed and that our effort makes a difference. Then we start practicing more at whatever matters to us. We start to have more success in those areas and others start to notice and appreciate our skills. Feeling like you are good at something, have some positive relationships, and celebrating the little positive steps along the way gets the momentum of self esteem building going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be incredibly helpful to this process.
