Self Esteem
Dr. Munazza Abraham
Psychologist, PhD
My work around self-esteem centers on identifying and challenging internalized negative beliefs shaped by early experiences and systemic messaging. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we restructure distorted thinking patterns and build more balanced, affirming self-perceptions. I approach self-worth as something reclaimed and reinforced through both mindset shifts and lived experience.
Together, we’ll unpack and challenge internalized messages, build coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs, and strengthen your capacity to live in alignment with your values and self-defined purpose. My practice emphasizes that “Community is medicine” with my creation of therapy groups to increase your sense of belonging and enhance collective healing. I also tap into ancestral knowledge, holistic and evidence-based practices, and the arts, all combined with your interests to tailor your healing experience.

Self Esteem
Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
How you see yourself can shape how you show up in your relationships, work, and everyday life. I help clients explore self-doubt, negative self-talk, comparison, people-pleasing, and the pressure to feel “good enough.” Together, we work on building self-awareness, challenging limiting beliefs, practicing self-compassion, and developing a more supportive relationship with yourself. My goal is to help you recognize your worth without needing perfection, external validation, or constant reassurance to feel confident in who you are.

Self Esteem
Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self esteem struggles are extremely common in private practice. They can be more complex and deeper than they appear, and they can be associated with a variety of different factors depending on the person. In my experience psychodynamic treatments are the best course for self esteem issues, which may mean understanding treatment for poor self esteem takes time or that it may require higher frequency sessions, though not always. People who have successful treatments often do come out if it with enhanced self esteem and a greater sense of personal freedom. These are hard won victories and a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic treatment is, in my opinion, often the gold standard for healing self esteem problems. For this issue in particular, treatment can indeed be life-changing. For those who have experienced setbacks which have contributed to lowered self esteem, psychotherapy can also be helpful in these cases.

Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
So many of us are walking around with a running commentary in our heads that we would never say to someone we love. You are not good enough. You do not deserve that. Who do you think you are? That inner critic can be relentless, and over time it shapes the choices you make, the relationships you accept, and the dreams you talk yourself out of before you even try.
You deserve better than that voice. And you do not have to keep living by its rules.
At CCW International, rebuilding self-esteem is at the heart of so much of the work we do. For the women we serve, low self-worth often shows up as over-apologizing, shrinking in rooms where they belong, staying in situations that do not honor them, or tying their value entirely to what they produce or who they take care of. For our veteran clients, it can look like struggling to see their own worth outside of their rank, their role, or their service.
Wherever your self-esteem story began, we help you rewrite it. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we help you challenge the beliefs that have held you back, reconnect with your inherent worth, and start showing up in your own life with the confidence and self-compassion you have always deserved.
You are enough. We just want to help you feel it.

Self Esteem
Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we view self-esteem not just as "feeling good" about yourself, but as the quiet confidence that comes from living in alignment with your true values. We understand that self-worth can often be eroded by harsh self-criticism, societal pressures, or the weight of trying to meet conflicting cultural expectations. Our approach helps you dismantle the "inner critic" and replace it with a foundation of self-compassion. Together we work to identify the core beliefs that keep you feeling "not enough," helping you bridge the gap between who you are and who you feel you should be. Our goal is to help you cultivate a resilient sense of self that remains steady, even when external circumstances change.
