Jaylan Abd Elrahman
Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills in their lives and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels meaningful and liberating!
Dr. Jay works with adolescents and adults who:
* Struggle to manage the stresses of daily life and experience emotional distress, depression, grief and/or anxiety
* Are survivors of complex trauma, interpersonal, generational and/or collective trauma
* Yearn to clarify purpose in life, often exploring existential, spiritual, and identity-based questions
* Seek a space to dream beyond the moment they are in to create new futures for themselves and those they love
* Values justice-oriented, compassionate, and creative relational care

Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
Our relationships with our selves are paramount. My aim is to help people explore the "stories" they've come to hold about themselves, to interrogate limiting beliefs and thought patterns, and to develop self-affirmation and confidence in their place.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Tired of not feeling good enough? Low self-esteem can show up as constant self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re never quite measuring up. You might be your own worst critic—hard on yourself in ways you’d never be with someone else. In therapy, we’ll work together to quiet that inner critic, build self-trust, and help you see yourself with more compassion. You deserve to feel confident in who you are—without having to earn it.

Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
How we think and feel about ourselves impacts everything in our lives, even when we're not consciously aware of it. When we feel negatively about who we are, it's going to be challenging to make meaning, find joy, maintain mutual relationships, and access peace and rest. Asking the "why?" is an important first question. The next step can be to find a safe place to search for the pieces. Therapy can be that space, not because the therapist is going make you feel good, but because it can provide a supportive environment to explore your story and how your brain arrived to the conclusion that there is something inherently negative about you. Through the process we can deconstruct the narrative that has you stuck, begin to understand yourself differently, and move towards integration and wellbeing.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In addressing self-esteem issues, I offer supportive and personalized guidance to help individuals cultivate a healthier self-perception. Through therapy, we explore the root causes of low self-esteem, such as negative self-talk, past experiences, or unrealistic standards. I provide strategies to challenge and reframe negative beliefs, promote self-compassion, and build self-confidence. Together, we work on developing a more balanced and positive self-image, focusing on strengths and achievements. Additionally, I offer tools for setting and achieving realistic goals, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience. The goal is to help individuals recognize their worth, embrace their unique qualities, and lead more fulfilling lives.

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.
