Self Esteem
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Low self-esteem in men is often hidden behind over-achievment, competence, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism. I work with men whose internal standards, shame, or negative self-beliefs undermine confidence and relationships. Treatment targets the origins of these beliefs and builds a more stable, grounded sense of self—not inflated confidence, but earned self-respect.

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.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Our inner assessment of ourselves is hugely important in how we carry meaning in our life. If we hate ourselves or feel chronic failure and disappointment, we are usually not living at the peak of our ability.
