Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Low self-esteem doesn’t always mean lacking confidence. Sometimes it shows up as imposter feelings, difficulty setting boundaries, over-functioning for others, or constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, achievement patterns, and internal narratives have shaped the way you see yourself. Using CBT and values-based interventions, I help clients build a more stable sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent solely on productivity or approval. The goal is to strengthen your ability to trust yourself, advocate for your needs, and move through life with greater confidence and clarity.

Hannah Warshowsky
Psychologist, PhD
I talk about self-criticism, often how we express self-esteem, with all of my clients. Every. Single. One. We call ourselves things we would never call anyone else “disgusting, lazy, unworthy, embarrassing, ugly, stupid. The list goes on and on. Instead of metaphorically beating yourself up for beating yourself up (because that defeats the purpose right?) try some of these tips. ✔️
Try talking to yourself how you would talk to a best friend, small child, or a lovable pet. You can still challenge yourself but say it in a gentle way. “I know you are really tired but you are gonna feel better if you get up and make some breakfast.

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.
