Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

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!
