Rachel Purcell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with teens and young adults on self-esteem and body image concerns. I work with my clients to challenge their negative self-beliefs, recognize their self-worth, and work on self-compassion. I believe the most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves.

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.

Low self-esteem can show up as self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling “not enough” despite your efforts.

In our work together, we focus on building self-awareness, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and developing a more balanced and compassionate relationship with yourself.

Self Esteem
The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Struggles with self-esteem often show up as self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, people-pleasing, or feeling “not enough” no matter what you accomplish. From an Adlerian perspective, low self-esteem is closely tied to discouragement and mistaken beliefs about worth, belonging, and significance. In counseling, we work together to identify these patterns, challenge self-defeating thoughts, and build a more compassionate and realistic view of yourself. My goal is to help you develop confidence, strengthen your sense of purpose, and begin living in a way that reflects your true value rather than your fears or past experiences.

Self Esteem
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults build healthy self-esteem, greater self-confidence, and a stronger sense of self-worth. Many individuals struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, body image concerns, or feelings of not being "good enough." These challenges can affect relationships, career success, emotional well-being, and overall life satisfaction. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion practices, and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, recognize their strengths, develop self-acceptance, and cultivate a more balanced and compassionate view of themselves. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and capable of living in alignment with their values and goals.
