Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Many neurodiverse children struggle with a negative core belief that manifests as "I am not good enough" or "I'm not worthy." They carry this negative self image often due to their struggles with their peers, their attention, their organization or if someone once told them they are "weird." They need to learn how to find the positive in themselves and take pride in their uniqueness.

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.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Self-esteem grows from a foundation of self-trust and recognizing your inherent worth. I work with individuals to rebuild confidence in their own judgment, strengthen inner resilience, and challenge messages that have undermined their value. Together, we focus on cultivating self-compassion, personal agency, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself and your choices.

Self esteem is at the core of all humans. If your self esteem was negatively impacted by early attachment issues, traumas, bullying, unhealthy family of origin relationships or something else, we will explore this with you and unburden the pain that your younger parts hold as a result. We will support your Core Self in bringing compassion into your system in order to restore your worth and value.
