David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
If we do not improve and heal our self esteem, we will go throughout life either as a doormat that eventually becomes resentful, or as someone who carries a great deal of rage. Either way, life is not in balance, and this creates more suffering. Healing self-esteem (self respect and admiration) leads to a deep internal shift that frees us to be more authentic, balanced, and whole not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. This leads to better relationships across the board. Many times trauma and attachment is at the root of this. Building con+fidence (to go, with trust), self-love, assertiveness and boundary setting, increases the ability to give and receive love and acceptance.

Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
How you see yourself can shape the way you approach relationships, work, challenges, and everyday life. When self-esteem is low, you may struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, comparison, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling like you’re never quite enough. Therapy offers a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore these patterns and understand where they come from.
Outpatient therapy can help you challenge negative self-beliefs, strengthen self-compassion, develop healthier boundaries, and build confidence that comes from within rather than from external validation. Together, we can work toward a more balanced and accepting relationship with yourself—one where your worth isn’t determined by your mistakes, achievements, appearance, or other people’s opinions.

When You Feel “Not Enough”
You may look like you have it all together — capable, caring, successful — yet underneath it all, you’re often questioning yourself. You replay conversations, worry you’ve disappointed someone, or feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Even small mistakes can feel huge, and compliments are hard to believe. If you’re stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-criticism, or people-pleasing, I can help you change how you relate to yourself from the inside out.
Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, we’ll uncover the beliefs that fuel low self-worth and learn how to replace them with compassion, confidence, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work to:
Quiet the inner critic that keeps moving the goalpost
Identify and challenge distorted thoughts about your value and competence
Build emotional resilience so your mood isn’t dependent on others’ approval
Strengthen your sense of identity and confidence in your choices
Experience genuine self-respect — not the temporary kind that fades with praise or performance
You’ll gain tools you can use daily to shift from feeling “not enough” to knowing you are already whole. Therapy becomes less about “fixing yourself” and more about discovering your worth that’s been there all along.
I BELIEVE:
You can be both confident and a work in progress.
Self-compassion creates change faster than self-criticism ever will.
You deserve relationships that mirror your true worth — not your self-doubt.
Confidence is a skill you can learn, not a personality trait you either have or don’t.
Growth happens when we replace judgment with curiosity and kindness.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Self-Esteem
At MaVie Behavioral Health, we understand how a persistent inner critic, negative self-talk, and feelings of inadequacy can hold you back from living a full, confident life.

Through 100% virtual counseling, our master’s-level therapists provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you challenge unhelpful self-beliefs, rebuild self-compassion, and recognize your true value. We give you practical behavioral tools to build genuine confidence and healthy boundaries—all from the comfort of home.
