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.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but inwardly feel like you’re never quite good enough, it chips away at your ability to show up authentically in your life. Maybe you constantly doubt your own decisions, second-guess your value, or wrestle with the fear that others will see through your confidence to your insecurities beneath. Dr. Jenny Shields helps driven professionals rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self-worth through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and narrative approaches. Her highly individualized style supports you in untangling critical self-beliefs, reclaiming your strengths, and moving toward a genuine, resilient self-confidence—one that isn’t dependent on external validation or fleeting success.
