Self Esteem
Peg Roberts

We have all been hurt and felt as though we don't measure up. As you work through your present issues and look back at your past, you will understand how your self-esteem has been hurt. We can heal that and help you love yourself again. My book is a great start to building self-esteem.

Self Esteem
Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Building healthy self-esteem is the foundation of how you value and see yourself, shaping your confidence, decisions, and relationships. I work with clients to help them recognize their worth, challenge negative self-beliefs, silence their inner critic, and develop a stronger, more confident sense of self. Together, we focus on creating lasting inner strength so you can show up more fully in your life and relationships.

Self Esteem
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Whether it is imposter syndrome in a school or workplace setting or lacking confidence in a social context, many individuals struggle with self esteem at some point in their lives. I have extensive experience working with individuals to improve their overall self confidence and self esteem. I often pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify how we can make changes to thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that may be at the root of lower self esteem.

Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Building Self-Esteem: From Surviving to Thriving
Self-esteem is the foundation of mental health. It influences how we handle stress, how we interact in relationships, and how we pursue our dreams. Our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists specialize in helping both adults and youth (ages 10+) dismantle the "inner critic" and build a resilient sense of self.
How We Help You Rebuild Worth
We use evidence-based tools to help you or your child move past shame and self-doubt:
Identifying the Root: Through a full clinical assessment, we look at where self-esteem was wounded—whether through trauma, high-conflict family systems, or societal pressure.
Specialized Modalities: We utilize CBT to challenge negative thought patterns, IFS (Internal Family Systems) to understand the "parts" of you that feel "not enough," and Brainspotting to process the deep-seated emotions tied to your identity.
Youth-Focused Engagement: For clients ages 10+, we use specialized interactive software that helps young people explore their identity and strengths in a medium that feels comfortable and engaging.
Our Collaborative Process
Rebuilding self-esteem is a partnership. We don’t just tell you that you are worthy; we help you feel it.
Current Needs Assessment: We determine how low self-esteem is currently impacting your life (e.g., social anxiety, codependency, or lack of motivation).
Goal Setting: We define what "confidence" looks like for you specifically—is it setting a boundary at work? Making a new friend? Trying a new hobby?
Treatment Planning: Together, we discuss the clinical plan to reach those goals, ensuring the pace feels safe and supportive.
The Role of Support & Accessibility
We believe that seeking help for self-worth shouldn't be a source of stress.
The Right Fit: Use our free consultation to meet your therapist and ensure you feel safe and understood.
Convenience: With online therapy and 7-day-a-week scheduling, you can prioritize your growth on your own terms.
Insurance: We accept all Minnesota insurance groups, making high-level clinical care accessible to all.

Self Esteem
Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I immediately see so many strengths and wonderful things about the people I meet in my work, and they have such difficulty seeing it in themselves. I assist in reframing negative and irrational beliefs and false narratives, and giving an objective third party perspective to bring you back to center. We explore the origins of these negative self-statements and develop ways to form new belief systems, based on your idiosyncratic talents and skills. Everyone has something great about them, but comparison destroys this feeling (and typically, people compare in ways that make them feel worse rather than better.)
