Self Esteem
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

I help individuals build self-esteem and confidence, empowering them to lead more fulfilling lives. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with positive psychology principles to help clients challenge negative self-perceptions, recognize their strengths, and develop a more compassionate self-view. Through our collaborative work, clients learn to cultivate self-acceptance, set achievable goals, and develop the resilience needed to face life's challenges with greater confidence and self-assurance.

Self Esteem
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help individuals build a stronger and more stable sense of self-worth. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how patterns of self-doubt and self-criticism are reinforced in the brain and body. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping clients develop greater emotional balance and resilience. Together, we work toward increased self-awareness, confidence, and self-trust so clients can engage in relationships, work, and personal goals with a clearer and more grounded sense of identity.

Fort Wayne is Indiana's second-largest city and a hub for defense manufacturing, healthcare, and distribution logistics — an occupational mix that shapes a therapy culture in which shift work stress, workplace injury adjustment, and career identity are common themes. The city has a significant Burmese refugee community — one of the largest in the United States — creating important demand for therapists with cultural competence around refugee trauma, resettlement stress, and the challenges of navigating American systems. Parkview Health and Lutheran Health Network provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Fort Wayne's conservative faith community means spiritually integrated approaches are a prominent feature of the local therapy offering.
