Dr. Sam Macy
Psychologist, PsyD
Our relationships with our selves are paramount. My aim is to help people explore the "stories" they've come to hold about themselves, to interrogate limiting beliefs and thought patterns, and to develop self-affirmation and confidence in their place.

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.

Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
How we think and feel about ourselves impacts everything in our lives, even when we're not consciously aware of it. When we feel negatively about who we are, it's going to be challenging to make meaning, find joy, maintain mutual relationships, and access peace and rest. Asking the "why?" is an important first question. The next step can be to find a safe place to search for the pieces. Therapy can be that space, not because the therapist is going make you feel good, but because it can provide a supportive environment to explore your story and how your brain arrived to the conclusion that there is something inherently negative about you. Through the process we can deconstruct the narrative that has you stuck, begin to understand yourself differently, and move towards integration and wellbeing.

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.
