Self Esteem
Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
Our relationships with our selves are paramount. My aim is to help people explore the "stories" they've come to hold about themselves, to interrogate limiting beliefs and thought patterns, and to develop self-affirmation and confidence in their place.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals who are looking to improve self-esteem by exploring patterns of self-criticism, comparison, and negative self-talk that can impact confidence and overall well-being. Low self-esteem can influence relationships, decision-making, and how you view your own worth. In therapy, we focus on identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs, building self-awareness, and developing a more balanced and compassionate perspective of yourself. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based strategies to support you in shifting how you relate to your thoughts and in building a stronger sense of self that is grounded in your values rather than self-doubt.

Difficulties with self esteem, whether you find it to consistently low or osculating between high and low, can be very damaging to a variety of areas in one's life. I work with folks to find a more positive and stable sense of self.

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.

Self Esteem
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.
