Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Self-esteem is not about becoming someone new or trying harder to feel confident—it’s about rebuilding a steady, respectful relationship with yourself. Many people struggle with self-esteem because they’ve learned to doubt their instincts, minimize their needs, or measure their worth through others’ approval. In therapy, we gently explore how these patterns developed and how they show up today, without judgment or pressure to “fix” anything right away.
My approach to self-esteem work is warm, practical, and compassionate. Together, we focus on strengthening your inner voice, quieting self-criticism, and learning how to take yourself seriously—especially in moments when it feels uncomfortable to do so. Over time, self-esteem grows less from positive thinking and more from self-trust: honoring your limits, speaking honestly, and choosing yourself in small, meaningful ways.

Self Esteem
Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Low self-esteem rarely comes out of the blue. It's usually the result of internalized messages, past experiences, and parts of ourselves that learned to be critical as a way of coping. I help clients untangle where these beliefs came from and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients struggle with a pervasive feeling of not being good enough, which makes it challenging for them to live life authentically and form meaningful and vulnerable connections with others. My primary task as a therapist is to create an environment in which clients can feel empowered to show up as their whole selves, without fear of judgment and rejection.
