Self Esteem
Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Systems of oppression impact self-esteem by perpetuating discrimination, marginalization, and negative stereotypes that devalue us based on race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or other identities. These oppressive systems can lead to internalized negative beliefs, chronic stress and diminished self-worth as we constantly face societal messages that undermine their value and abilities. This ongoing marginalization and exclusion contribute to feelings of inferiority, powerlessness and self-doubt, significantly harming self-esteem and overall mental health. My approach to therapy actively works to reduce sexism, racism, classism, ableism, weightism and other exclusionary classes by helping you understand how you have been impacted by these systems and deconstructing the beliefs youhold that perpetuate these exclusionary institutions.

Self Esteem
Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Low self esteem is almost an epidemic in our culture - so many people suffer from it. Self esteem issues stem, in part, from deeply held beliefs and 'stories' we have about ourselves, which aren't actually true - although we believe they are. It is possible to clear up these beliefs and 'stories' on an emotional and 'felt sense' level through Brainspotting or EMDR. You can then open to a clearer sense of who you really are without these old tapes and stories.

Self Esteem
Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-Esteem if often related to what messages we got from our parents and our school. Learning that you are worthy often involves dissecting these negative messages and using thought stopping and reframing of our thoughts.

Self Esteem
Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I help clients strengthen self-esteem and develop a healthier, more balanced view of themselves. Therapy may address self-criticism, insecurity, perfectionism, comparison, shame, difficulty accepting oneself, and patterns that undermine confidence. Together, we work to understand the experiences that have shaped self-perception while building greater self-acceptance, confidence, and a stronger sense of personal worth.

Self Esteem
Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Concerns about self-esteem are often at the core of many emotional struggles, even when they are not immediately obvious. For many people, these issues are closely tied to shame and to an internal voice that is harsh, critical, and relentless. Over time, this inner commentary can quietly shape how someone sees themselves, relates to others, and moves through the world.
In my work with self-esteem, I frequently help clients begin to notice and understand this internal critical voice — where it may have come from, what function it once served, and how it continues to affect their emotional well-being. While this voice often feels deeply ingrained, it is not fixed or inevitable. With awareness and support, it can be softened and gradually transformed.
I place a strong emphasis on helping clients cultivate a different internal relationship — one rooted in kindness, gentleness, curiosity, and compassion. Learning to treat oneself with warmth and understanding can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable at first, especially for those who have spent many years in self-criticism. Together, we work at a pace that respects this difficulty, creating space for new ways of relating to yourself that feel more supportive, humane, and sustainable.
