Self Esteem
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who appear capable and put together but carry a quiet, persistent sense of not being enough. This can look like self‑criticism, difficulty trusting your own judgment, comparing yourself to others, downplaying your own needs or accomplishments, or feeling like you are always falling short of who you are supposed to be. Many of the adults I see have spent years meeting expectations, supporting others, or performing well in work or school while privately feeling inadequate, invisible, or unsure of their worth.
Low self‑esteem often develops in environments where your needs were minimized, where you were praised for being responsible or easy, or where you learned to stay small to avoid conflict or disappointment. Over time, these patterns can shape how you see yourself, how you move through relationships, and what you believe you are allowed to want.
In our work together, we explore the origins of these beliefs and how they show up in your body, emotions, and daily life. We look at the roles you have carried, the expectations you have internalized, and the parts of you that are tired of feeling not enough. The goal is not to create artificial confidence but to help you develop a more grounded, accurate sense of yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice. Supporting people who have learned to minimize themselves or feel “not enough” is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve worked to hold things together.

Self Esteem
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, comparison, and feeling like they are never doing enough. Many high achievers base their self-worth on performance, approval, or constant productivity, which can create anxiety and emotional exhaustion. In therapy, we work on challenging negative self-talk, building internal confidence, and developing a more balanced view of success and personal value. My goal is to help clients feel more secure in who they are, not just what they accomplish.

Self Esteem
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Too many of us grow up believing we aren't good enough. However, if we really take the time and start to explore that belief, it breaks down pretty quickly. Self-esteem can be grown. It can be built. It can become stronger and sustainable.
