Self Esteem
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

Rachel Burleson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You’ve accomplished so much already. You're smart, hard working and reliable. Everyone thinks you're amazing (and you are) and has it all together (and you do). But deep down you fear that you're not enough; that inner voice love to point out where you're falling short. You armor yourself with perfectionism, independence and productivity in an attempt to bury and avoid your vulnerability. During the therapeutic process, you will learn to put down the armor and embrace your imperfections. We will explore and challenge the painful memories and past trauma that made you feel like you were not enough. I am here to help you find the courage and self-compassion to communicate your needs, enforce your boundaries and embrace your authentic self. Schedule a free consultation and let's connect!
