Shuwanda Hudson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
How we see ourselves is shaped by many experiences over time. Therapy can support greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and a more flexible relationship with internal expectations and self-criticism.

Alyssa Lorenzo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Self-esteem is created through the internalized messages we've inherited in our developmental journey and the story we actually believe is true. Let's create a more balanced narrative together.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The voice in your head is not kind. It tells you you're not good enough, smart enough, successful enough. It compares you to everyone else and finds you lacking. You've achieved things, maybe a lot of things, but none of it quiets the voice for long. Low self-esteem often has deep roots, messages you absorbed in childhood, experiences that taught you to doubt yourself, relationships that reinforced the belief that you don't quite measure up. We help you understand where these beliefs came from and, more importantly, how to build a different relationship with yourself. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Self-esteem can impact how one sees themselves and interacts with the world. Self-doubt can lead to changes in relationships, school or work performance. I take a warm, nonjudgmental approach at assisting clients in overcoming self-doubt and return to valued living.

Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Low self-esteem can quietly shape every aspect of your life—from the relationships you choose to the opportunities you pursue and the way you treat yourself daily. Our therapy services help you break free from negative self-talk, self-doubt, and the belief that you're not good enough. Through compassionate, personalized support, we'll help you identify the roots of your low self-worth, challenge the critical inner voice that holds you back, and build genuine confidence from the inside out. You'll learn to recognize your inherent value, celebrate your strengths, set healthy boundaries, and treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others. Building authentic self-esteem isn't about becoming perfect—it's about accepting yourself fully and recognizing that you are worthy of love, respect, and all the good things life has to offer.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

Jennifer Nudo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Do you struggle with feeling bad about yourself and not understand why or how to change it? If so, you are not alone. In my practice, I work with many women who struggle with feelings of not being good enough or persistent self criticism. Understanding the reasons you feel this way and how the cycle of negative self esteem keeps you feeling bad can help you break free from self criticism and improve your life and relationships.
