Jan Nelson LCSW-R

Self-esteem comes from how we think or believe about ourselves. We all have belief systems and they are just that. We can focus on how you are belief system has evolved and ways to influence it.

Self Esteem
Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
Self-esteem issues often stem from early experiences, negative self-talk, or painful comparisons with others. I help clients identify the roots of low self-worth and challenge the critical inner voice that undermines confidence and happiness. Through our work together, you'll develop genuine self-compassion and build esteem based on authentic self-acceptance rather than external validation or achievement.

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.

Amanda Martell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my clinical experience, self-esteem has always come up as part of a client's symptoms. Trauma, relationships, our society, on top of so much more, can really do damage to not only how we view ourselves and treat ourselves, but how we show up in relationships with others. That is why it is my mission to help people to grow into their healed, higher selves - because when we are able to love ourselves and every part of us, we will see the difference in every aspect of our lives.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
How do we come into confidence? One of the first questions I ask my clients is "what does confidence mean to you?" It never ceases to amaze me that each of us has a slightly different definition. What if your definition really doesn't have much to do with it at all? Everything I have learned as a certified professional Holistic Life Coach turned my own definition on it's head. I invite you to share with me what self esteem and confidence mean to you so that we can start to explore how you see yourself and your relation to others. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement the therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I have a toolkit of fun methods and approaches to self esteem designed to help you question your own assumptions, internal unconscious agreements, and unacknowledged (perhaps limiting) beliefs to get to a place of awareness and insight—the place where confidence truly lives.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Does your child see themselves negatively, lack confidence to try new things, or criticize themselves? There are things we can do to build their self-esteem so that they blossom from the inside out. Parents can feel poorly about themselves about themselves too; if this describes you, you are not alone. With guidance and encouragement, we will work together to reverse this confidence-sapping problem and get you seeing yourself more positively.

Self Esteem
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.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Christie Roe
Therapist, LMSW
Whatever your experience with self esteem or lack thereof, I strive to provide a friendly, affirming, and trauma-informed space to meet yourself as you are and develop your self-understanding in your chosen direction, with more acceptance, worthiness, and compassion. One technique I often use is known as memory reconsolidation, which creates transformative, lasting change through an open yet orderly process of unlearning and relearning with our response-abilities.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Self-esteem is shaped through early emotional experience and internalized relationships. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and embodied awareness to support a more compassionate and coherent relationship with the self. This process helps patients move beyond shame and self-criticism toward greater self-acceptance.

Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
Low self-esteem frequently develops from early relational experiences that shaped beliefs about worth, safety, and belonging. In therapy, we identify and transform these internalized narratives. Using psychodynamic therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we challenge trauma-shaped beliefs while strengthening self-compassion and internal coherence through IFS and mindfulness practices. My work focuses on helping you move from self-criticism and self-doubt toward grounded confidence and authentic self-trust.
