Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 39 years
Self-esteem is developed from Unconditional Love, which we did not receive. Instead, all the PMES abandonment lead us to believe being un-loved was our fault. This is self-hate, which erodes our will & serenity. Developing the Loving Parent Voice heals & provides self-confidence. (Blog : 2011)

Rene Gonzalez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I help adults who've survived traumatic and abusive experiences rebuild their self-esteem. While people can tear us down, the right person—and therapist—can help you reclaim your dignity and self-worth. I teach my clients self-compassion in order to help them overcome shame and guilt. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and modify limiting beliefs that might keep them "stuck" in negative self-appraisal.

Emily M Bradley, Psychotherapist
Art Therapist, LCAT
Many people struggle with life because they have a script playing in the back of their minds that tells them they're not enough, or they don't deserve to get what they want. Sometimes the script comes from a difficult childhood, or a traumatic experience in our past. I'm adoption-competent as an adoptee myself, so I have a special understanding of how being an adopted person can affect your self-worth. I'm passionate about helping people develop compassion for themselves, and to learn to trust their own innate wisdom. We were all born worthy of love and belonging, as Brene Brown says. I can help you re-learn this truth for yourself.

Many of my patients have high expectations for themselves and have accomplished great things in their lives, yet still feel they never measure up.

We’ll focus on building confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you develop a healthier self-perception, embrace your strengths, and navigate life’s challenges with increased clarity, agency, and self-compassion, ultimately fostering a more balanced and authentic sense of identity.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
Many researchers believe that self-esteem and feelings of shame are shaped early in life—often long before we’re fully aware of them. When we’ve internalized shame, it can impact how we interpret the world around us. Even neutral or positive social or work interactions can feel threatening, confusing, or rejecting. Over time, this can create a painful cycle of self-doubt, anxiety, and disconnection.
Low self-esteem and chronic shame can deeply affect how you see yourself and relate to others. But the good news is: these patterns can be understood, challenged, and changed.
In therapy, we’ll work together to explore the roots of these feelings and begin to shift the way you relate to yourself. Psychotherapy can help you build the tools to regulate stress, quiet your inner critic, and create more balanced, compassionate self-awareness.
You deserve to feel worthy, confident, and connected. Healing starts with understanding—and grows through kindness, courage, and support.

Patrice Arrington
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You’ve spent so much time proving yourself to others that you’ve lost sight of your worth. If your inner voice is full of criticism, comparison, or perfectionism, it’s time to rewrite that narrative. I help women unlearn harmful self-talk and reconnect with confidence rooted in truth—not titles, roles, or other people’s opinions. You don’t have to earn your worth—you just have to remember it. Let’s get you back to believing in yourself again.
