Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
Struggles with self-esteem can affect nearly every aspect of life—from relationships and career decisions to mental health and overall well-being. As a therapist, I help individuals identify the internal messages and life experiences that have shaped how they see themselves. Together, we work to challenge self-critical thoughts, build self-compassion, and develop a more balanced and empowering self-image. Through a supportive and collaborative process, I guide clients in recognizing their inherent worth and cultivating the confidence to live more authentically. Lasting change comes not just from thinking differently, but from experiencing yourself in a new, more empowered way—and therapy can be a powerful place to begin that journey.

Barbara Magnusson Coffee
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ph.D., LMFT
If self esteem is lacking, it feels like there's a big black hole in your chest or stomache that nothing can fill. We often try to fill the emptiness with food, alcohol or other substances, or relationships that are based on need, not mutual respect and love. It helps to have a guide to coach you to filling that hole in a healthy way so you feel complete and whole by yourself, while still being human and desiring a relationship which is natural and healthy.

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Many of us are our own harshest critics, trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and self-doubt. I specialize in helping individuals bridge the gap between their external success and their internal sense of value. By integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy with trauma-informed psychotherapy, we address the subconscious blocks that prevent you from owning your strengths. We don’t just 'build' self-esteem; we remove the barriers—like guilt, shame, and fear of failure—that have been obscuring your true value for years.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Self-esteem shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how confidently we move through life. When self-esteem is low, people often struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear of judgment, or feeling “not enough,” even when they are capable and accomplished. These patterns are often learned over time and reinforced at a subconscious level.
My approach to working with self-esteem is personalized and respectful. Rather than focusing solely on positive thinking, hypnosis helps address the underlying beliefs and emotional responses that influence how individuals perceive themselves. Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals and life experience, supporting the development of healthier self-perception, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Clients often seek hypnosis for self-esteem when long-standing patterns persist despite insight or effort. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that allows clients to remain aware and in control while gently reinforcing more supportive beliefs and behaviors.
This work is offered as a supportive tool for personal growth and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and self-accepting.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Your relationship with yourself influences every area of your life. When your self-esteem has been affected by past experiences, criticism, trauma, difficult relationships, or unrealistic expectations, it can become hard to trust yourself, recognize your strengths, or believe that you are worthy of love, success, and happiness. You may struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, or constantly comparing yourself to others. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you can explore the experiences that have shaped the way you see yourself. Together, we'll identify the negative beliefs and patterns that keep you feeling stuck while building a stronger foundation of self-confidence, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to challenge self-critical thoughts, process unresolved experiences, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and develop a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself. If low self-esteem is connected to childhood experiences, emotional abuse, trauma, or difficult relationships, therapy can help you heal those underlying wounds rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Our goal isn't to help you become someone different—it's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath fear, self-criticism, and limiting beliefs. As your confidence grows, you'll be better equipped to make decisions that align with your values, cultivate healthier relationships, advocate for your needs, and pursue the life you want with greater clarity and self-assurance.

Everyone in this world has dips and bumps in their self esteem. Some just seem to show it less. I will show you how to take control of what you feel is out of reach and you will then absorb the ability to maintain and grow it.
