Self Esteem
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
In our work together on self-esteem, I meet you exactly where you are—thoughtful, self-aware, and caring deeply about how you show up in your own life and relationships. We’ll slow down and explore, without judgment, the patterns, past experiences, or internalized shame that have quietly shaped how you see and value yourself. Whether those stories show up in your sexuality, your closest relationships, or your sense of safety in your own body, we’ll unpack them together in a warm, collaborative space. You’ll learn to reconnect with your authentic desires and needs, rebuild emotional safety within yourself, and gently challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve you. Most clients begin to feel lighter and more at home in themselves within the first few sessions, moving toward a quieter confidence that ripples into greater closeness, pleasure, and connection in every part of life.

Self Esteem
Brandon Zahl
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Are you exhausted from struggling with low-esteem? You know you should be able to believe in yourself but your self-critic is tirelessly pointing out ways you don't measure up. No matter what you do, you never feel quite good enough or worthy of attention, respect and love from others. Together we'll work to build up a sense of self-confidence starting by tapping into feelings of strength and confidence within your body. We'll dig into the messages of unworthiness given to you and stand up to the lie that you're just not good enough. We'll establish your right to set boundaries, to ask for what you need and feel confident in doing so.

Self Esteem
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
Self-Esteem starts with being a friend to ourselves. It requires stopping negative self-talk and replacing it with positive thoughts. Irrational and limiting beliefs can also be a blockage against developing self-esteem. Self Esteem also takes action and real world success. As we have more positive self-talk, and start believing in ourselves we will start being more motivated because we believe we can succeed and that our effort makes a difference. Then we start practicing more at whatever matters to us. We start to have more success in those areas and others start to notice and appreciate our skills. Feeling like you are good at something, have some positive relationships, and celebrating the little positive steps along the way gets the momentum of self esteem building going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be incredibly helpful to this process.
