Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to self-esteem focuses on helping you develop a compassionate and empowered relationship with yourself. Through a blend of cognitive restructuring, self-compassion practices, and confidence-building exercises, we work to challenge negative self-beliefs and replace them with a more authentic and positive self-view. Together, we create a supportive space where you can explore your strengths, overcome self-doubt, and cultivate lasting self-worth.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Tired of not feeling good enough? Low self-esteem can show up as constant self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re never quite measuring up. You might be your own worst critic—hard on yourself in ways you’d never be with someone else. In therapy, we’ll work together to quiet that inner critic, build self-trust, and help you see yourself with more compassion. You deserve to feel confident in who you are—without having to earn it.

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.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients struggle with a pervasive feeling of not being good enough, which makes it challenging for them to live life authentically and form meaningful and vulnerable connections with others. My primary task as a therapist is to create an environment in which clients can feel empowered to show up as their whole selves, without fear of judgment and rejection.
