Self Esteem
Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Self esteem is at the heart of so much conflict in our daily lives, either as a cause or an effect of other stressors. My philosophy is that building self esteem is central to emotional wellness, and the only way to build self esteem is through self-understanding. I utilize psychodynamic therapy to uncover each client's formulation and challenges to self esteem. Only once self-knowledge is solidified can change be made. Understanding and re-negotiating each client's concept of self allows for agency, self-compassion, and confidence.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
If your inner critic seems louder than your own voice, you're not alone. Therapy can help you understand where those self-critical beliefs came from, why they continue to show up, and how they've influenced the way you see yourself. Together, we'll replace self-judgment with curiosity while building a more compassionate relationship with yourself. Over time, confidence becomes less about proving your worth and more about living in alignment with your inner sense of vitality, calm, and courage that can emerge when the inner critic gets quieter.

Self Esteem
Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
When your relationship with yourself is defined by self-doubt, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic, it affects every single corner of your life. Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space to help you dismantle those negative self-narratives and build authentic self-esteem. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to help them break free from the cycle of insecurity, quiet the voice of perfectionism, and rediscover their inherent worth.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely designed to bypass the intellectual defense mechanisms that keep low self-esteem in place. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with creative art therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she offers a safe space to explore and externalize old beliefs about your value. Together, you will learn to treat yourself with genuine compassion, establish healthy boundaries, and step into your life with confidence—whether you are navigating a major life transition, professional burnout, a chronic illness diagnosis, or the profound identity shifts of parenthood.

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.

Self Esteem
Mind Body Connections
Counselor/Therapist
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.

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.
