Self Esteem
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggling with self-esteem can feel like carrying around a quiet but persistent voice that tells you you’re not good enough, no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try. It might show up as self-doubt in relationships, difficulty asserting your needs, or constantly comparing yourself to others. Maybe you find yourself replaying past mistakes or feeling like you have to prove your worth to those around you. Over time, these patterns can take a toll on your confidence and hold you back from fully embracing your life.
Building self-esteem isn’t about striving for perfection—it’s about changing the way you see yourself, learning to challenge self-criticism, and developing a more compassionate, confident inner voice. Together, we’ll work to uncover the beliefs that have shaped your self-perception, recognize the strengths that already exist within you, and help you move toward a sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin, trust in your abilities, and advocate for yourself with confidence.

Self Esteem
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may appear confident and capable to others while privately questioning whether you're good enough, worrying about how you're perceived, or measuring your worth by what you accomplish and how much others approve of you. Perhaps you know intellectually that you're worthy, but that belief doesn't hold up when you make a mistake, disappoint someone, or feel rejected. I help clients explore the experiences and deeply held beliefs that shape how they see themselves, including the ways people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-criticism may have become ways of seeking acceptance or protecting against shame. Rather than simply replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations, we work toward a more durable sense of self-worth that can withstand imperfection, uncertainty, and other people's reactions.

Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Self-esteem can be a tenuous experience that is constantly at risk if we define ourselves by success/failure.

Self Esteem
Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many of my patients have high expectations for themselves and have accomplished great things in their lives, yet still feel they never measure up. In therapy, I help individuals explore the origins of their low self-esteem, insecurities, and chronic self-criticism, including past experiences and internalized messages, while also cultivating a more compassionate and realistic view of themselves. We’ll focus on building confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you develop a healthier self-perception, embrace your strengths, and navigate life’s challenges with increased clarity, agency, and self-compassion, ultimately fostering a more balanced and authentic sense of identity. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.
