Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Self-esteem is shaped through early emotional experience and internalized relationships. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and embodied awareness to support a more compassionate and coherent relationship with the self. This process helps patients move beyond shame and self-criticism toward greater self-acceptance.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Struggles with self-esteem often stem from early experiences and internalized beliefs about worth. I help clients identify and shift these patterns, building a more grounded and compassionate sense of self. Our work focuses on helping you feel more confident, secure, and aligned in how you move through the world.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Self-esteem is complicated, and we should talk to see if my training is the right approach for you. But when people feel unsafe or anxious within their own bodies, it can be pretty easy to start looking at yourself with wariness, judgment, or shame.
Somatic Experiencing in this case seeks to help you feel safer in your body, to handle any old feelings of danger so you can feel more vital and alive. Dare I say, we can even take small steps towards enjoying the feeling of life.
Once there is enjoyment, and awareness of that enjoyment, self-esteem starts looking much less fixed.

Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
Many of us struggle with a poor self-esteem. The sense that somehow we aren't good enough, or that we don't deserve the good things in life. The roots of poor self-esteem, the wounds, were formed in during the childhood years and continue to negatively impact our lives as adults. Through the use of Internal Family Systems, these early childhood wounds can be addressed and healed, allowing us to gain a positive sense of Self.
