I support clients struggling with low self-worth, self-doubt, and a harsh inner critic that can impact confidence and daily life. Together, we explore the underlying beliefs and experiences that shape how you see yourself, while working to develop a more compassionate, balanced, and stable sense of identity. My approach is supportive and practical, helping you challenge unhelpful self-talk, recognize your strengths, and build a more grounded relationship with yourself.

Silvina Falcon - Levine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
Are you disappointed with the way you view yourself and the person you have become? Do you frequently tell yourself that you are inadequate or incompetent, particularly when you compare yourself to others? Do you wish you looked different, were smarter, or had accomplished more academically, professionally or socially? Do you feel you have fallen short of the expectations you had for yourself and that others had of you? Do you wish you could carry yourself with more pride and self-respect?
These are signs of self–rejection and low self–esteem. Judging yourself harshly is an enormously painful experience that causes you to distrust yourself and your abilities. The internal dialogue that criticizes you is alive, powerful, and has a profound impact on your mood and the quality of your life.
I believe that evidence-based methods are the key to alleviate symptoms and relieve this emotional pain. The systematic use of cognitive, behavioral, and motivational methods, as well as mindfulness and relapse prevention, can help you manage moments of self - deprecation and begin experience greater freedom and self - acceptance. There are a variety of evidence-based methods that can help you acquire the tools necessary to improve your self–image and develop self–compassion. A life of self-respect and pride is a life worth living; it is actually a very joyful life. I look forward to partner with you in a journey towards better self - esteem and self - respect.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem often begins in environments where your needs, emotions, or identity were dismissed or criticized. Rather than simply boosting your confidence, we explore the roots of self-doubt and gently repair the internal narratives shaped by past experiences. The goal is not perfection, it is self-trust, self-compassion, and a grounded sense of worth.
