Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in self-esteem because I believe it is the foundation of all mental wellness. Low self-worth often acts as the hidden root of anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. I focus on helping clients move from harsh self-criticism to compassionate self-acceptance, dismantling ingrained negative beliefs. By strengthening a person’s internal sense of value, they gain the resilience to navigate life’s challenges and the confidence to cultivate healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Hannah Warshowsky
Psychologist, PhD
I talk about self-criticism, often how we express self-esteem, with all of my clients. Every. Single. One. We call ourselves things we would never call anyone else “disgusting, lazy, unworthy, embarrassing, ugly, stupid. The list goes on and on. Instead of metaphorically beating yourself up for beating yourself up (because that defeats the purpose right?) try some of these tips. ✔️
Try talking to yourself how you would talk to a best friend, small child, or a lovable pet. You can still challenge yourself but say it in a gentle way. “I know you are really tired but you are gonna feel better if you get up and make some breakfast.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Self-esteem struggles can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Many women find themselves measuring their worth by performance, approval, or how well they meet expectations. In our work together, we focus on understanding where these beliefs developed and strengthening a more stable internal sense of value that is not dependent on constant achievement or external validation.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I immediately see so many strengths and wonderful things about the people I meet in my work, and they have such difficulty seeing it in themselves. I assist in reframing negative and irrational beliefs and false narratives, and giving an objective third party perspective to bring you back to center. We explore the origins of these negative self-statements and develop ways to form new belief systems, based on your idiosyncratic talents and skills. Everyone has something great about them, but comparison destroys this feeling (and typically, people compare in ways that make them feel worse rather than better.)

Kelley Boole
Therapist, LSW
If your inner critic narrates every decision and "not enough" is the soundtrack of your day, therapy can change the volume. Kelley helps you see where the harshness came from (family, trauma, culture, past relationships) and replace it with a steadier, more accurate self-view. Using strength-based work, cognitive restructuring, and ACT-informed values clarification, you'll start treating yourself the way you'd treat someone you love.

Cincinnati sits at the intersection of the Midwest and Appalachia, and therapists here frequently address addiction, economic stress, and intergenerational trauma rooted in the region's opioid crisis. The city has a strong Catholic and faith community, and many therapists offer spiritually sensitive approaches alongside evidence-based care. University of Cincinnati Medical Center and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, complemented by a growing network of private practitioners across Hyde Park, Mount Lookout, and Oakley. Cincinnati's position as a bi-state metro also means therapists often serve clients from across the Kentucky border.
