Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Low self-esteem rarely comes out of the blue. It's usually the result of internalized messages, past experiences, and parts of ourselves that learned to be critical as a way of coping. I help clients untangle where these beliefs came from and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Self Esteem
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.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or feelings of not being "good enough," whether in school, at work, in relationships, or other areas of life. These experiences can make it difficult to recognize your strengths, trust yourself, and pursue the life you want.
In therapy, we'll work together to better understand the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your self-esteem and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we'll challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build self-compassion, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident, resilient, and authentic in your daily life.

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.
