Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-esteem grows from understanding yourself rather than constantly judging yourself. Therapy can help you recognize unhelpful beliefs, develop self-compassion, and build confidence grounded in your values instead of unrealistic expectations or external validation.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in helping individuals strengthen their self-esteem and build a more confident, grounded sense of who they are. Low self-esteem often shows up as self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, or constantly feeling like you’re not “enough.” Together, we focus on understanding where these patterns come from and developing more supportive ways of thinking, responding, and relating to yourself. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, helping you quiet the inner critic, trust yourself more, and show up with greater confidence and clarity in your daily life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
