Self Esteem
Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Low self-esteem often develops over time through criticism, painful experiences, or the feeling that who you are is somehow not enough. Therapy isn't about convincing you to think more positively, it's about helping you understand where those beliefs came from, soften the voice of self-criticism, and build a more compassionate, confident relationship with yourself.

Self Esteem
Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Struggles with self-esteem often run deeper than confidence alone. You may find yourself questioning your worth, comparing yourself to others, fearing rejection, or feeling overly dependent on external validation. Therapy can help you better understand the experiences and relationships that shaped these beliefs, while building greater self-trust, confidence, and self-compassion.

Self Esteem
Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with self-esteem, I focus first on understanding where disconnection may have taken root—often through early experiences that impacted a person’s sense of worth or belonging. I see low self-esteem not as a personal flaw, but as a sign of deeper ruptures in the relationship to self. Together, we work to rebuild that connection through somatic awareness, parts work, and reflection, while also exploring what it means to treat yourself with care and compassion. Building self-esteem can be both an internal process of reconnection and an external practice—engaging in meaningful action, exploring purpose, and choosing to show up for yourself in new ways.

Self Esteem
Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with coping with self esteem issues can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how your struggles with self esteem impact your happiness and ability to get what you want from life. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Michael Lockwood of Scene Creative Life Solutions
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
One of the most fulfilling aspects of helping people in my practice is restoring a positive self image, self worth, and discovering inherent strengths. I like to use cognitive restructuring but also mindfulness visualization to build up an ideal version of oneself.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
