Self Esteem
Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with adults struggling with low self-esteem, self-doubt, and harsh self-criticism that impact their confidence, relationships, and personal fulfillment. Many clients feel capable outwardly but experience internal feelings of inadequacy or fear of failure. My approach combines insight-oriented work with practical strategies to challenge negative self-beliefs, build self-compassion, and strengthen confidence, helping clients develop a healthier, more empowered relationship with themselves.

Self Esteem
Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Struggles with self esteem often sound like a harsh inner critic, a sense of not measuring up, or difficulty trusting your own worth. In my work with self esteem, I blend somatic therapy, creative interventions, and deep, compassionate listening to help you untangle old beliefs and step into a more authentic sense of self. Together, we’ll gently challenge internalized stories, build confidence from the inside out, and support you in feeling grounded, worthy, and more at home in your own skin.

Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
So much of our suffering comes from the way we talk to ourselves. I work closely with clients to identify the origins of their self-doubt and help them build a kinder, more grounded sense of self, a sense of self that isn't dependent on external validation.

Self Esteem
Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself. It often shows up as people-pleasing, overworking, shrinking, or a persistent voice in your head that tells you you're not quite enough. In therapy, we gently challenge those patterns, explore where they came from, and help you build a more grounded, honest sense of who you are and what you deserve.

Self Esteem
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Self-esteem is often shaped by early relationships, trauma, and the stories we’ve been told about ourselves. In therapy we work on changing those stories, building self-trust, and developing a more stable and compassionate sense of self.

26 Years Experience
Online in Buffalo, NY New York (Online Only)
Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
