Self Esteem
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem is often tied to long-standing self-criticism, shame, or a sense of not measuring up. We can look at where those beliefs took root and how they keep showing up today. The work is about building a more balanced view of yourself, strengthening self-trust, and creating patterns that support confidence and self-respect.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In addressing self-esteem issues, I offer supportive and personalized guidance to help individuals cultivate a healthier self-perception. Through therapy, we explore the root causes of low self-esteem, such as negative self-talk, past experiences, or unrealistic standards. I provide strategies to challenge and reframe negative beliefs, promote self-compassion, and build self-confidence. Together, we work on developing a more balanced and positive self-image, focusing on strengths and achievements. Additionally, I offer tools for setting and achieving realistic goals, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience. The goal is to help individuals recognize their worth, embrace their unique qualities, and lead more fulfilling lives.

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.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in self-esteem.
Low self-esteem is rarely fixed by encouragement. It can persist through real accomplishment, showing up as a chronic sense of inadequacy, shame that arrives without an occasion, harsh self-criticism you would never direct at anyone else, or the conviction that you are fundamentally not enough regardless of evidence. Many people describe feeling like an imposter in a life they built themselves.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we do not try to argue you into a better opinion of yourself. That voice carries an unconscious logic worth understanding: it came from somewhere, served some purpose, and often speaks in words that once belonged to someone else. In sessions we trace where it originated and what it has been protecting you from. As it becomes recognizable as something you absorbed rather than something you are, it tends to lose authority.
If you have been carrying a low opinion of yourself for as long as you can remember, I would be glad to talk.
