Self Esteem
Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
How you see yourself shapes how you move through the world. When self-esteem is low, you may question your decisions, compare yourself to others, struggle to recognize your strengths, or feel that you are never quite enough. You may appear confident and successful on the outside while privately struggling with self-doubt, criticism, or the fear of disappointing others.
I work with individuals to understand the beliefs and experiences that have shaped the way they see themselves. Together, we explore the core beliefs that may be contributing to self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, insecurity, or self-sabotaging patterns.
Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, narrative psychology, and a strength-based approach, I help you examine the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and choices. We work to identify patterns that no longer serve you, challenge negative or limiting beliefs, and develop a more balanced and compassionate understanding of yourself.
Building self-esteem isn't about convincing yourself that everything is perfect or becoming someone you're not. It's about developing a more grounded sense of who you are—recognizing both your strengths and your vulnerabilities without allowing either to define your worth.
We can also explore how your self-esteem affects your relationships, career, parenting, and the decisions you make about your life. My goal is to help you become less dependent on external validation and more confident in your own values, judgment, and sense of self.
You don't have to become a different person to feel better about yourself. Therapy can help you reconnect with the person you already are, challenge the beliefs that have held you back, and build a life that feels more authentic, confident, and fulfilling.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem can exist for a variety of reasons, but is particularly prevalent among adolescents and young adults and can significantly impact quality of life, interpersonal relationships, decision making, and mental health. I frequently help clients address low-self esteem and build more positive self views and beliefs.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-Esteem if often related to what messages we got from our parents and our school. Learning that you are worthy often involves dissecting these negative messages and using thought stopping and reframing of our thoughts.

Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Sometimes we struggle with identifying who we are - a true sense of self. This may occur in general or during transitional periods across the lifespan. This may also be paired with the age-old questions "why am I here?" "what is my purpose?" or "what is the meaning of life?."
There is an interesting aspect of identity that can get in the way of knowing ourselves better. The concepts of being and doing can be confused and misinterpreted. We are called human beings and not human doings. At times we are identified by what we do and not by who we are. We can evaluate the importance of others and ourselves by valuing someone for what they do rather than who they are. While we are a “system” and these are interrelated parts we transcend career and job position.
It can be helpful to work with someone to unpack and discover the multi-faceted nature that makes us unique, and explore what gifts, skills, and talents that are dormant or have been overlooked or even denied.
Many relationships and much self-talk have “shaped” our self-concept and some may be accurate, and some not. Does our personality match our character. Does self esteem come from a healthy and humble
confidence?
There are many ways a counselor can come alongside another and help root through what is true and not true about themselves. They can offer encouragement, support and aid in looking at new ways to discover true identity – personhood.

Self Esteem
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Struggles with self-esteem can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own abilities. Even people who function well outwardly may quietly question whether they are doing enough or measuring up. In therapy, we work to understand the experiences shaping self-esteem and build a steadier, more balanced sense of confidence.
