Self Esteem
Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Low self‑esteem often comes from years of criticism, trauma, or feeling like you are “too much” or “not enough.” Together, we notice how this shows up in your body, choices, and relationships, challenge shame‑based beliefs, and practice new, more compassionate ways of relating to yourself.

Self Esteem
Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
Self-esteem and shame deeply influence how you see yourself and connect with others. When these areas are impacted by early experiences or internalized social messages, they can lead to self-doubt, perfectionism, and harsh self-criticism. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space to uncover the roots of these patterns and replace them with self-acceptance and confidence.
Together, we’ll explore how past experiences and beliefs have shaped your self-view and learn practical ways to shift them. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion work, you’ll begin to build a stronger sense of worth and emotional resilience.
My approach is affirming, empathetic, and client-centered. I’ll help you move beyond shame, develop a more balanced self-image, and embrace your authentic self with confidence.

Self esteem is ever changing as it is always influenced by our external experiences (ie: a new job) as well as our internal experience (ie: negative or positive self talk).

Self Esteem
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I support clients who struggle with self-esteem, self-doubt, and a persistent sense of not feeling “enough,” even when life looks stable or successful on the outside. Many of the clients I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and capable individuals who have learned to be self-critical in order to succeed, but find that inner voice of criticism difficult to turn off.
Low self-esteem can show up in many ways- difficulty trusting yourself, second-guessing decisions, people-pleasing, comparing yourself to others, or feeling undeserving of rest, success, or healthy relationships. Over time, these patterns can shape how you see yourself and how you move through the world.
In therapy, we work together to understand where these beliefs came from, including past experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and internalized messages about worth and value. Alongside this deeper exploration, we also focus on building practical tools to challenge self-critical thoughts and create new, more balanced ways of relating to yourself.
My goal is to help you develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself- one where your worth is not dependent on performance, approval, or productivity, but rooted in a more stable and grounded sense of who you are.
10 Years Experience
Online in Jersey City, NJ New Jersey (Online Only)
Jersey City is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States — home to large Indian, Filipino, Dominican, Chinese, and West African communities across neighborhoods that have transformed rapidly from industrial to gentrified — and multilingual and culturally informed therapists are a practical necessity rather than a specialty. The city's position directly across the Hudson from Lower Manhattan makes it home to a large financial and professional population navigating the intensity of New York-adjacent careers, and therapists working with burnout, perfectionism, and work-life balance serve a distinct and growing clientele. Jersey City Medical Center and the broader Hudson County healthcare system provide institutional mental health resources. The city's rapid gentrification has created displacement stress and community friction that therapists increasingly encounter in their clinical work.
