Self Esteem
Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Pervasive poor self-esteem can result in anxiety and depression. How often do you stop yourself from speaking your mind, due to fear of embarrassment or being wrong?
These small self-confidence "blips" can add up, and compound your low sense of self-worth.

Self Esteem
Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Self-esteem isn't something you suddenly find—it's something you build. It develops through the experiences you have, the challenges you overcome, and the promises you keep to yourself over time. It grows each time you choose courage over fear, self-compassion over self-criticism, and authenticity over people-pleasing.
Together, we'll explore the beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself, quiet the inner critic, and help you reconnect with your strengths and values. The goal isn't to become someone else—it's to grow into the version of yourself your younger self would be proud of. While confidence develops through experience, you don't have to wait to step into your own power. Therapy can help you begin that journey today.

Self Esteem
Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Struggling with low self-esteem can feel like living with an internal critic that never shuts down, constantly telling you that you aren’t smart, capable, or worthy enough. I help individuals break free from this painful cycle of self-doubt and people-pleasing so they can build genuine, lasting self-worth. In our work, we utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) to compassionately understand the protective parts of you that carry deep feelings of inadequacy, while Narrative Therapy helps you rewrite the old, limiting stories you’ve been told about your value. Alongside this deeper exploration, I weave in practical CBT and DBT tools to help you quiet negative self-talk, set firm boundaries, and practice daily self-compassion. Together, we will work to shift your relationship with yourself from chronic self-criticism to a steady, quiet confidence in who you truly are.

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.
