Michael Keigher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
If your inner voice is more mean girl than mentor, therapy can help rewrite the script. I help clients build self-worth that isn’t based on productivity, perfectionism, or performance. You deserve to feel good about who you are — not just who you’re trying to become.

Carlos Hernandez
Pre-Licensed Professional
Low self-esteem often stems from internalized messages about worth and belonging. In therapy, I help clients challenge these beliefs, cultivate self-compassion, and begin to see themselves through a kinder, more accurate lens. Through exploration and intentional growth, you can reconnect with your strengths and learn to stand confidently in who you are.

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.

Empowered Wellbeing, Trauma/Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Dissociation and Addiction Recovery Care
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Amazing topic! Our approach is self actualization driven as an amalgam of student directed pedagogies, neurodevelopmental applications or care, attachment/belonging circuit work, polyvagal based, parts work based, intersectional/contextual based...It's an in-house recipe for how we arrive at this, the science is generally working from context/orientation> existential> attachment based>trauma work>situational and relational and adding integrative, functional or bio/neurofeedback care (sometimes administered by others) along the way. With a CPTSD focus, it's about building inner harmony with the parts or different layers of the psyche. We may also honor and work from eastern meditation principles, nature and support for the intuitive.

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.

Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You find yourself ruminating about the same situations without making decisions or changes.You need 10 different opinions before you can make a decision. You don't trust your inner voice, or maybe, you don't even hear your inner voice. Seeking therapy can help.
Therapy is a time set aside just for you for 50 minutes weekly in which the focus is entirely on you, your needs and sometimes needing to sort out what those needs actually may be. As important as the significant people in our lives are, people have opinions that come from a personal place. It is difficult to always separate “advice” from the “advice giver’s” perspective and their own needs. Therapy is not about being given advice. It is not about the therapist being judge or jury. It is not about the need for the therapist to have you do something in a way that makes the therapist happy or feel good. It is about being helped to unfold what you already know, your truth, not mine, and to allow what you know, need, and want to begin to emerge from underneath all the outside noise and influences.
