Self Esteem
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
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You can be accomplished, capable, and caring—and still quietly struggle with feeling like you're not enough. Self-esteem challenges don’t always shout; sometimes, they whisper through perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, or the sense that you’re constantly falling short. Many of my clients wrestle with imposter syndrome—feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of their success. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If your inner critic has been running the show, therapy can help you reconnect with a more realistic, compassionate view of yourself.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults who are ready to understand where these patterns began and how to shift them. Together, we’ll explore how early life dynamics—like high expectations, emotional invalidation, or being praised only for achievement—may still shape how you see yourself. We'll also examine how systems of oppression and societal messages around race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, productivity, and other aspects of identity can erode your sense of worth, even when you’ve done everything ‘right’ to succeed despite them.
This is a space where all parts of you are welcome. We’ll work to quiet the self-doubt, build insight, and strengthen your self-trust—so that confidence isn’t just something you perform, but something you actually feel. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to help you rewrite your internal narrative from self-criticism to self-respect. If you're ready to feel more at home in your own mind, I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being
Psychologist, PsyD
START YOUR PERSONAL (R)EVOLUTION
The process of (R)evolutionizing your life looks different for everyone, but it starts with honoring that inner pilot light that’s inviting you to shine. Sustainable growth will occur when we work through a simple system:
Clarify → Assess → Explore → Heal → Live
To expand your life, to transform how you exist in your day-to-day, doesn’t take hustling more, pushing harder, or doing more. It simply takes seeing you, wonderful you, as you truly are: worthy of your own time, respect, attention, acceptance, and compassion. We’re here and so excited to move through the (R)evolution process with you!
