Guada Psychological Services
Counselor/Therapist, Psychologist, LCPC, LPC, MA Level Clinicians
At Guada Psychological Services, we help individuals struggling with low self-esteem build confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of self-worth. Our therapists understand that negative self-perception often develops from past experiences, trauma, or unrealistic expectations. Through evidence-based therapy, we work collaboratively to identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge self-criticism, and cultivate a more balanced, empowering self-view. Our goal is to help you develop the tools and mindset needed to feel confident, capable, and at peace with who you are.

Self Esteem
Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
How we view ourselves is often how we interact with the world. Maybe your self-esteem feels okay or maybe it could use work. Maybe you would like to unpack some hurtful experiences that affected your self-esteem. Either way, let's example the internal self-talk that impacts your self-esteem.

Self Esteem
Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Self-esteem work for high-performing men looks different than it does for most populations — because these men don't lack confidence in their abilities, they lack a stable sense of self-worth that exists independently of those abilities. I specialize in helping men dismantle proof-based self-worth — the belief that value must be earned through output, achievement, and external validation — and replace it with a more durable internal foundation through Character Driven Therapy. When self-worth is no longer contingent on performance, the anxiety quiets, the inner critic loses its authority, and achievement becomes something you pursue because you want to — not because you're afraid of what it means if you don't.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
If you spend any time with a preschooler, you notice very quickly they have very few problem with healthy self-esteem or "being themselves!" I believe the erosion of self-esteem is learned through experience (e.g., attachment problems, trauma, neglect, bullying, marginalization, etc.). I utilize approaches like EMDR and ego-state therapies to help heal the experiences that first eroded your inherent feelings of self worth followed by strengthening internal resources to more confidently approach the present and future.
