Maria Mirza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy and chronic self-doubt? Even the most successful people, who appear to have it all together, have to fight their own inner critic to get to where they are in life. However, unspoken fears or negative thoughts that induce self-doubt can turn into self-fulfilling prophecies and get in the way of you realizing your full potential. It isn’t easy to admit out loud one’s feelings of inadequacy but it sure is liberating and empowering to understand its roots and learn ways to break the cycle of impostor thinking. You can reclaim your self worth! I'm here to help.

Jane Bennett-Elias
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
We are often harder on ourselves than on others. This can lead to having poor self worth and a low opinion of ourselves. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be tremendously helpful with this by challenging distorted thoughts that you may have about yourself. This is only one piece of the many building blocks that can lead to increased self esteem. I can help you learn this and other strategies to improve self worth.

Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
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.
