Self Esteem
Kamini Wood
Life Coach, FHH, CLC, CPM
Low self-esteem is often rooted in the stories we have come to believe about ourselves. You may question your worth, minimize your needs, seek approval from others, or feel like you have to earn love and acceptance. These patterns can affect your relationships, decisions, and overall well-being.
Together, we'll identify the beliefs that no longer serve you, reconnect with your strengths and values, and build a stronger foundation of self-worth. As your self-trust grows, so does your ability to set healthy boundaries, communicate with confidence, and make choices that reflect the person you truly are.

Self Esteem
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and what you believe you are allowed to want. Therapy can help you examine the experiences and internalized messages that have contributed to self-doubt while developing a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself. The goal is not to force yourself to “think positively,” but to build a sense of self that feels more secure and authentic.

Self Esteem
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Self Esteem refers to how we feel about ourself. Rational emotive behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy help individuals recognize the connection between their low self and how their negative beliefs and self talk impact the way they feel about themselves. Once you understand the thought-feeling connection, you will learn a variety of ways to change the way you think, feel and act. You will learn to challenge and replace unheatlhy thoughts and beliefs with more desirable one and guided into taking positive steps in your life. Ultimately, you will learn to accept yourself unconditionally with all your strengths AND weaknesess.

Self Esteem
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Self-esteem is often talked about like it’s something you either have or don’t—but for many people, it’s been shaped over time by experiences, relationships, and the messages you’ve internalized about who you’re supposed to be. It’s not just about “confidence.” It’s about how you see yourself, how you treat yourself, and what you believe you’re allowed to take up space as. And a lot of those beliefs don’t come from you—they come from dominant cultural norms, family expectations, and environments that may have rewarded certain versions of you while dismissing others.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t try to build self-esteem through surface-level affirmations. We help you understand where your self-perception comes from, how it’s been reinforced, and how it shows up in your day-to-day life—your decisions, your relationships, your boundaries. From there, we actively work with you to shift those patterns in ways that are grounded and sustainable. This might include challenging internalized beliefs, building self-trust, setting boundaries, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been minimized or pushed aside. We also center the question of belonging—how your sense of self is shaped by where you’ve felt accepted or excluded, and how to move toward spaces and relationships where you don’t have to shrink to fit. This is about building a relationship with yourself that feels more stable, more honest, and actually your own.

Self Esteem
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
In our work together on self-esteem, I meet you exactly where you are—thoughtful, self-aware, and caring deeply about how you show up in your own life and relationships. We’ll slow down and explore, without judgment, the patterns, past experiences, or internalized shame that have quietly shaped how you see and value yourself. Whether those stories show up in your sexuality, your closest relationships, or your sense of safety in your own body, we’ll unpack them together in a warm, collaborative space. You’ll learn to reconnect with your authentic desires and needs, rebuild emotional safety within yourself, and gently challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve you. Most clients begin to feel lighter and more at home in themselves within the first few sessions, moving toward a quieter confidence that ripples into greater closeness, pleasure, and connection in every part of life.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address issues of self-esteem with a compassionate and faith-based approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward a healthier sense of self-worth. Recognizing the significance of understanding one's identity in Christ, I incorporate biblical teachings on love, purpose, and the inherent value of each person. Through therapy sessions that may include prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's perspective, I collaborate with individuals to explore the root causes of low self-esteem and develop strategies for building a positive self-image. Encouraging reliance on God's unconditional love and acceptance, I empower individuals to overcome negative thought patterns and embrace their true identity within the context of their Christian faith, fostering a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Self Esteem
Dr. Lauren Chase
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH
Many high-achieving women appear confident but internally struggle with self-doubt. You may hold yourself to high standards, question your decisions, or feel like your worth is tied to how much you accomplish. These patterns often develop early when you learn to prioritize others’ needs over your own. Therapy helps you explore where those beliefs began and begin shifting them so you can develop stronger self-trust and a more stable sense of confidence.
