Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Low self-esteem can show up as self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling “not enough” despite your efforts. I support clients in identifying the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how they see themselves and how they move through the world. In our work together, we focus on building self-awareness, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and developing a more balanced and compassionate relationship with yourself. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and able to show up in your life with a stronger sense of self-worth and self-trust.

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.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
If your inner critic seems louder than your own voice, you're not alone. Therapy can help you understand where those self-critical beliefs came from, why they continue to show up, and how they've influenced the way you see yourself. Together, we'll replace self-judgment with curiosity while building a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Over time, confidence becomes less about proving your worth and more about living in alignment with your inner sense of vitality, calm, and courage that can emerge when the inner critic gets quieter.

Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Self esteem is at the heart of so much conflict in our daily lives, either as a cause or an effect of other stressors. My philosophy is that building self esteem is central to emotional wellness, and the only way to build self esteem is through self-understanding. I utilize psychodynamic therapy to uncover each client's formulation and challenges to self esteem. Only once self-knowledge is solidified can change be made. Understanding and re-negotiating each client's concept of self allows for agency, self-compassion, and confidence.
