Self Esteem
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.

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.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Struggling with low self-esteem can impact every area of life—relationships, career, and even how you care for yourself. Feelings of self-doubt, comparison, and negative self-talk can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected from your true worth. In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore the roots of these patterns and develop tools for building confidence, resilience, and self-compassion. Together, we’ll focus on shifting self-criticism into self-understanding, strengthening your sense of identity, and helping you feel more grounded and empowered in who you are.

Self Esteem
Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Shame and fluctuating self-esteem can often stem from recurrent emotional traumas sustained across development, and in a range of contexts. I will work with you to identity how shame shows up in your life, and contributes to intense and persistently held beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you. Working at a pace that feels manageable to you, we will explore the root cause(s) of shame in the present, and how to change the way you "speak" to yourself internally.

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
The way you see yourself deeply influences how you show up in the world. When your self‑view is negative or uncertain, it can hold you back from living your best life, pursuing your purpose, and feeling confident in your relationships, decisions, and identity.
In my practice, I offer a safe, supportive space to explore how self‑esteem challenges impact your daily life and where these beliefs come from. Together, we uncover the root causes, address the patterns that keep you stuck, and develop healthier, more compassionate ways of seeing and embracing yourself. My goal is to help you build confidence, strengthen your sense of worth, and learn to love every part of who you are.

Connie Wolf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA in Counseling, LCPC, LIMHP, LMHC
If you're struggling with low self-esteem, I want you to know that you're not alone. Many people experience self-doubt and negative self-talk, and it can be really difficult to break free from those patterns on your own.
But here's the good news: with the right support and guidance, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth. That's where I can assist.
As a licensed counselor, I specialize in helping people like you build confidence and self-esteem through evidence-based techniques and a collaborative, non-judgmental approach. We'll work together to identify the negative beliefs and behaviors that are holding you back, and develop strategies to overcome them.
If you're ready to take the first step towards greater self-compassion, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
