Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With so many pressures and impossible standards around us, it can be easy to feel defeated and inadequate. And oftentimes, our minds are so quick to criticize ourselves for any perceived slight. Together, we can work on building your self-esteem by understanding the "rules" and messages you may be holding on tightly to, your unique areas of strength and challenge, and ways to interact with yourself in a more compassionate manner. Low self-esteem is often intertwined with other experiences and challenges that we can disentangle and navigate together.

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.

Kimberly Turner-Frazier
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, LPC
If you struggle with a harsh inner critic or never feel 'good enough,' therapy can help shift that narrative. We will work to identify the origins of your self-doubt and replace those patterns with self-compassion and realistic self-appraisal. By recognizing your inherent worth and setting healthy boundaries, you can build the internal foundation needed to move through the world with genuine confidence.

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.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
If your self-esteem feels like it is too low or it yo-yos based on what people say or do around you, then increasing self-compassion and self-love can be really valuable in building self-esteem and confidence for the long-term. Having a healthy self-esteem is important, a more fulfilling and fun way to live, and helpful in drawing in the types of relationships that we long for. Demonstrating having a healthy self-esteem is also a beautiful thing to model when we long for that in our kids too.

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.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
In my therapeutic approach to treating self-esteem issues, I integrate various modalities tailored to each individual's needs. Through art therapy and experiential techniques, I provide creative avenues for clients to explore their self-perceptions and express their emotions. Additionally, I incorporate elements of person-centered therapy, compassion focus therapy, and narrative therapy to foster self-acceptance, build inner strength, and challenge negative self-beliefs, empowering clients to cultivate a more positive self-image.
