Self Esteem
Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.

Self Esteem
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
Self-Esteem starts with being a friend to ourselves. It requires stopping negative self-talk and replacing it with positive thoughts. Irrational and limiting beliefs can also be a blockage against developing self-esteem. Self Esteem also takes action and real world success. As we have more positive self-talk, and start believing in ourselves we will start being more motivated because we believe we can succeed and that our effort makes a difference. Then we start practicing more at whatever matters to us. We start to have more success in those areas and others start to notice and appreciate our skills. Feeling like you are good at something, have some positive relationships, and celebrating the little positive steps along the way gets the momentum of self esteem building going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be incredibly helpful to this process.

Self Esteem
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.

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.
