Mira Cymerman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self esteem sometimes manifests as a quiet, persistent doubt, with the sense that you are not quite enough, even when factual evidence suggests otherwise. During our sessions, we can discuss where these thoughts and feelings began. Rather than chasing confidence as a destination, we will focus on building an honest, authentic relationship with yourself, one where your worth is not up for debate every time you make a mistake or fall short of your goal. The idea is to trust your own voice again, and to start treating yourself with kindness.

Audrey Stempel, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Many neurodiverse children struggle with a negative core belief that manifests as "I am not good enough" or "I'm not worthy." They carry this negative self image often due to their struggles with their peers, their attention, their organization or if someone once told them they are "weird." They need to learn how to find the positive in themselves and take pride in their uniqueness.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self Esteem has numerous ways that it can become a struggle; maybe it’s a lack of confidence, maybe it’s not believing you deserve good things, maybe it’s less noticeable ways that you forget to take care of yourself, and sometimes it’s a doubt that underneath it all, there is a self that exists, let alone deserves esteem. As a psychologist specializing in building deeper connection to one’s self, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to open shame-free spaces and explore who you are and who you want to be. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our sense of self is formed or disrupted by our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.
