Self Esteem
Ashley Paulson

Self Esteem
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
If you spend any time with a preschooler, you notice very quickly they have very few problem with healthy self-esteem or "being themselves!" I believe the erosion of self-esteem is learned through experience (e.g., attachment problems, trauma, neglect, bullying, marginalization, etc.). I utilize approaches like EMDR and ego-state therapies to help heal the experiences that first eroded your inherent feelings of self worth followed by strengthening internal resources to more confidently approach the present and future.

Self Esteem
Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Shame is a major detriment to self-esteem. Self-esteem is built up in childhood, and if we had abusive or neglectful childhood experiences (ACEs or "adverse childhood experiences", we may carry unprocessed shame that interferes with our self-esteem.

Dr. Dana C. Avey
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MA, DBH, LMFT, BC-TMH, ADS, CRYT
One of the most interesting aspects of self-esteem is that it wavers. At times, we stand firm and confident; other times, we may struggle. I can help you develop a daily practice to support a strong sense of self and self-love.

Self Esteem
Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Struggles with self-esteem can quietly shape the way you see yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world. You may find yourself second-guessing decisions, minimizing your needs, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough.” As a therapist who works with self-esteem, I provide a supportive, affirming space to explore these patterns and begin building a more secure, compassionate relationship with yourself. Together, we’ll look at where negative self-beliefs began, how they’ve been reinforced over time, and how they’re showing up in your daily life. Therapy can help you challenge harsh self-talk, set healthier boundaries, and strengthen confidence from the inside out—so your sense of worth isn’t dependent on external validation. My approach is collaborative, steady, and practical. We’ll combine insight with real-world tools to help you feel more grounded, self-assured, and empowered. You deserve to move through life with a stronger sense of confidence and self-trust.
