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.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever wondered why you feel like you’re not enough—no matter how hard you try? You accomplish, serve, achieve, and still sense a quiet ache of inadequacy underneath it all. That voice of comparison or guilt keeps whispering, “You should be doing better.”
At Rising Calm Center, we help you understand that voice for what it is—not truth, but a wound. Our Christian counselors walk with you to heal the root causes of shame, perfectionism, and fear, so confidence can grow from the inside out.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend biblical identity work with evidence-based therapies—CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic calming tools—to help you:
• Silence the inner critic and build self-compassion
• Recognize and rewrite the false stories that fuel insecurity
• Strengthen your sense of worth through God’s truth, not performance
• Cultivate boundaries, resilience, and courage in relationships
• Live with calm assurance instead of constant proving
You were never meant to earn your value—it was given. When you begin to see yourself as God does—chosen, capable, and loved—peace replaces striving, and confidence becomes quiet strength.
If you’re ready to rise above self-doubt and walk in steady assurance, we’re here to help you rediscover your God-given worth.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which then leads to meaningful and lasting changes. That means we will use real experiences from your life - about self esteem, or anything else - to help you make sense of and overcome the difficulties related to that concern.

Self Esteem
Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Our relationship with self is just as important as our relationships with others; in fact, I believe it often informs what we bring to our other relationships. Our work together will explore messages and beliefs about oneself, identifying where these came from, and creating space to develop your own re-branding of sense of self as an adult.
