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.

Self Esteem
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.

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.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 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)

Self Esteem
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many of my patients have high expectations for themselves and have accomplished great things in their lives, yet still feel they never measure up. In therapy, I help individuals explore the origins of their low self-esteem, insecurities, and chronic self-criticism, including past experiences and internalized messages, while also cultivating a more compassionate and realistic view of themselves. 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. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.

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.
