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.

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.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
Struggling with low self-esteem can leave you feeling disconnected from your true sense of worth, as if you're constantly seeking validation or feeling like you're not enough. In psychodynamic therapy, we’ll explore the deeper emotional roots of your self-doubt, often linked to past experiences, unmet needs, or critical inner voices. Together, we’ll work to understand these patterns and build a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself. As you gain insight into the underlying causes, you’ll begin to feel more confident and empowered to live authentically, without relying on external approval.

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.

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.

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.
