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.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
In therapy I explore with the individual and/or group significance of their careers in their lives (e.g., identity, status, sense of purpose, sense of accomplishment) and discuss how their think it contributes to their self-esteem. We also brainstorm about perceived sources of self-esteem as to whether it is related or unrelated to employment (e.g., meaningful relationships with spouses, partners, children, friendships, hobbies, recreation and spiritual fulfillment).

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.

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.

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.

Tampa is a rapidly growing city with a significant military presence at MacDill AFB, creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, deployment-related adjustment, and the challenges of veteran and military family life. The city's growth has brought a large influx of transplants from the Northeast and Midwest, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity shifts common among people rebuilding their lives in a new city. Tampa General Hospital and AdventHealth serve as major institutional mental health anchors, with a growing private practice community concentrated in South Tampa, Hyde Park, and the New Tampa corridor. Many Tampa therapists now offer telehealth, making it easier to serve clients spread across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
