Self Esteem
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Self Esteem
Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Good self-esteem is often grounded in supportive and nurturing relationships. When our self-esteem is low, it impacts our ability to function at our full capacity. We become over-critical and lose compassion for self. There is help for conquering self doubt and moving into your most empowered self. Dr. Randa will work with you to implement practical strategies and recommendations to help you raise your eyes to see the value and beauty of who you are.

Self Esteem
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Self-esteem is shaped by far more than simply thinking positively about yourself. Relationships, early experiences, trauma, social expectations, neurodivergence, body image, and years of criticism or comparison can all influence how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve. I help clients understand where those beliefs came from, question the ones that no longer fit, and develop a more grounded sense of self-worth. The goal isn’t endless positive self-talk—it’s building enough trust in yourself that your worth no longer has to be constantly earned or proven.

Self Esteem
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Self Esteem refers to how we feel about ourself. Rational emotive behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy help individuals recognize the connection between their low self and how their negative beliefs and self talk impact the way they feel about themselves. Once you understand the thought-feeling connection, you will learn a variety of ways to change the way you think, feel and act. You will learn to challenge and replace unheatlhy thoughts and beliefs with more desirable one and guided into taking positive steps in your life. Ultimately, you will learn to accept yourself unconditionally with all your strengths AND weaknesess.
