Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many of my patients have high expectations for themselves and have accomplished great things in their lives, yet still feel they never measure up. In therapy, I help individuals explore the origins of their low self-esteem, insecurities, and chronic self-criticism, including past experiences and internalized messages, while also cultivating a more compassionate and realistic view of themselves. We’ll focus on building confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you develop a healthier self-perception, embrace your strengths, and navigate life’s challenges with increased clarity, agency, and self-compassion, ultimately fostering a more balanced and authentic sense of identity. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.

Hadyn Jolly
Counselor/Therapist, MAC, APC
The voice in our heads that tells us that we are unlovable, that we are never good enough, or that we don't have any worth, can be so loud sometimes. It would be a privilege for me to be able to support you in uncovering where those negative thoughts in your head come from and how we can replace them with more healthy thoughts that are grounded in truth.

Joy Freilich
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our partner, boss, children, or our parents. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to a new environment or new life circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to make changes in our lives. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just need to feel heard and understood. Having an unbiased, non judgmental person to talk to can help.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Low self-esteem rarely comes from nowhere — it's usually the accumulated weight of experiences that taught you that you were too much, not enough, or fundamentally flawed in some way. Those messages get stored in the body and in our inner world, shaping how we move through relationships, work, and our own minds. I help clients reconnect with a grounded, stable sense of self worth that doesn't depend on external validation — through EMDR to reprocess the experiences that shaped those beliefs, and IFS to build a kinder, more honest relationship with yourself.

Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
In my work with self-esteem, I focus on helping you build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself. Rather than pushing through self-criticism or perfectionism, we slow down and get curious about where those patterns come from and how they show up in your daily life. Together, we work toward loosening the grip of harsh inner narratives and strengthening a more steady, supportive inner voice. This includes building emotional resilience, self-understanding, and a sense of worth that is less dependent on performance or perfection.

Dr. Ellen Brackup
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-concept is formed through our histories in important relationships. The therapy relationship itself can be a laboratory in which to experiment with softening the harshness of self-judgment and developing an attitude of honest self-compassion.

Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Do you often feel awkward and self-conscious in social settings? Are you constantly comparing yourself to others and finding you never measure up?
Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.
Having a knowledgeable and supportive therapist in your corner can help you develop a healthier and more realistic sense of self. He or she will help you connect the dots in your life, discover where your low self-esteem came from, and provide tools so you can absolve your negative beliefs and critical self-talk and replace them with self-love and self-compassion.
If you suffer from low self-esteem and would like to explore treatment options, please reach out to me.

Atlanta's rapid growth as a major business hub has intensified demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety among its large professional population. The city has a vibrant and well-established Black community, and many therapists focus on culturally affirming care, racial identity, and intergenerational trauma. Long commutes and sprawl are a persistent stressor for many residents, and a large share of Atlanta therapists offer extended hours and telehealth options across the metro area. Piedmont Healthcare and Emory Healthcare anchor institutional mental health services alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
