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.

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).

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* Loving ourselves is one of the hardest things to do, but it is also one of the most vital. Everything in life builds upon your relationship with yourself, so it is important to build a strong foundation of self-love and self-confidence from which to grow. Together, we can build awareness around false beliefs you may hold about yourself - "I'm not good enough." "I'm unworthy." "I'm unlovable." - and then we can work to challenge that faulty thinking in order to rewrite a more compassionate and truthful narrative, in which you are able to thrive. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!

Newark is one of the most economically and culturally complex cities in the northeastern United States — a majority Black and Latino city with deep roots in jazz, civil rights history, and a long experience of disinvestment — and its therapy community frequently addresses the intersection of systemic inequity, racial trauma, and the psychological effects of urban poverty. The city has a significant Portuguese and Brazilian community alongside long-established African American and Puerto Rican populations, and multilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve critical access roles in a city where language and cultural barriers remain significant. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School provides institutional training and resources, while University Hospital Newark anchors the city's clinical mental health infrastructure. Newark's proximity to New York City means some residents also access therapy across the Hudson, while a growing independent therapy community has developed within the city itself.
