Self Esteem
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Low self-esteem doesn’t always mean lacking confidence. Sometimes it shows up as imposter feelings, difficulty setting boundaries, over-functioning for others, or constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, achievement patterns, and internal narratives have shaped the way you see yourself. Using CBT and values-based interventions, I help clients build a more stable sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent solely on productivity or approval. The goal is to strengthen your ability to trust yourself, advocate for your needs, and move through life with greater confidence and clarity.

Self Esteem
Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
If your self-esteem depends on the number of achievements you have accomplished so far in your life, how many 'exceeds expectations' you have on your performance reviews, or how many likes you get on an IG post, your self-esteem is being fueled by external factors instead of internal ones. If you're ready to put in the work and figure out how to create a more positive view of yourself, reach out and I'll show you how.

Self Esteem
Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Our relationship with self is just as important as our relationships with others; in fact, I believe it often informs what we bring to our other relationships. Our work together will explore messages and beliefs about oneself, identifying where these came from, and creating space to develop your own re-branding of sense of self as an adult.

Self Esteem
Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self Esteem has numerous ways that it can become a struggle; maybe it’s a lack of confidence, maybe it’s not believing you deserve good things, maybe it’s less noticeable ways that you forget to take care of yourself, and sometimes it’s a doubt that underneath it all, there is a self that exists, let alone deserves esteem. As a psychologist specializing in building deeper connection to one’s self, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to open shame-free spaces and explore who you are and who you want to be. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our sense of self is formed or disrupted by our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Self Esteem
Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Struggling with self-esteem can leave you feeling not good enough or feelings of frequent comparison. Maybe you have low self-esteem in general. Maybe you struggle with imposter syndrome. Regardless, these patterns often run deep, shaped by past experiences and internalized messages. In therapy, I help you explore where these beliefs come from, build self-compassion, and reconnect with a more confident, grounded sense of who you are.

Self Esteem
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Self Esteem
Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Shame is a major detriment to self-esteem. Self-esteem is built up in childhood, and if we had abusive or neglectful childhood experiences (ACEs or "adverse childhood experiences", we may carry unprocessed shame that interferes with our self-esteem.

Self Esteem
Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a persistent sense of not feeling “good enough.” Difficulties with self-esteem often reflect internalized expectations and relational experiences that shape how individuals view themselves.
My work is grounded in the belief that self-esteem develops within relationships and emotional history. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to explore the origins of self-critical patterns and to understand how they continue to influence present experience. As individuals develop a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of themselves, a more stable sense of self-worth can gradually emerge.
I also work with couples who wish to understand how self-esteem concerns affect communication and intimacy.

Minneapolis has a progressive mental health culture with a high density of therapists, and the city saw sharply increased demand for trauma processing and grief work following the murder of George Floyd and the social upheaval of 2020. The city has a large Somali immigrant community as well as significant Native American, Hmong, and East African populations, with strong demand for therapists who specialize in refugee trauma, cultural adjustment, and identity. Minneapolis winters are long and severe, and therapists with experience in seasonal affective disorder and winter-related depression serve a real clinical need. Hennepin Healthcare and the University of Minnesota Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
