Self Esteem
Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Self-esteem therapy is a goal-oriented psychological approach designed to break cycles of self-criticism, negative thinking, and low self-worth. It helps individuals recognize their strengths, reframe irrational beliefs, and develop healthier, more realistic self-perceptions by using techniques like CBT. My approach aims to build confidence (how you think, feel, and behave) and resilience.

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.

Self Esteem
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem can affect nearly every aspect of emotional wellbeing, including relationships, decision-making, motivation, and the ability to cope with stress or criticism. Many individuals struggling with self-esteem experience chronic self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or a persistent sense of inadequacy despite external success or positive feedback from others.
Therapy can help clients better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped their sense of self while developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional resilience, and confidence. My approach focuses not simply on “feeling better” about oneself temporarily, but on building a more stable, authentic, and internally grounded sense of worth and identity.

Self Esteem
Chuck Chapman
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Many men appear confident on the outside, yet internally feel like they are constantly falling short. You may be successful, responsible, respected in your work—but inside, there is a quiet voice saying, I should be doing better. Self-esteem issues in men rarely show up as obvious insecurity. Instead, they show up as overworking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, anger, withdrawal, or constantly comparing yourself to others. You may feel like you are never enough, no matter how much effort you put in. And because you’ve learned to hold it all together, no one around you would ever guess how heavy it feels.
My work with men around self-esteem focuses on rebuilding your sense of self from the inside out. Together, we explore where your beliefs about worth, masculinity, success, and failure were shaped. We learn to identify the critical inner voice, the hidden shame, or the moment-to-moment self-judgment that keeps you small or disconnected. We then shift into embodied confidence—grounded presence, clear boundaries, emotional awareness, and a steady connection to your values and identity. This isn’t about hype, positive thinking, or trying to “feel good” about yourself. It’s about learning to trust yourself, stand in your truth, and move through the world with dignity and self-respect.
Self-worth is not something you earn. It’s something you uncover—and return to.

Self Esteem
Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Self-esteem challenges can show up as self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re never quite enough. These patterns often impact confidence, relationships, and the ability to feel grounded in who you are.
I provide therapy for self-esteem issues to help you explore the deeper beliefs and emotional experiences that shape how you see yourself. Together, we will look at what’s happening underneath the inner critical voice and how these patterns have developed over time.
The focus is on building a more stable, compassionate relationship with yourself, so you can feel more confident, self-trusting, and secure in your sense of worth.

Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem often develops from experiences that shape how we view ourselves and our worth. You may be highly accomplished yet still struggle with self-criticism, self-doubt, or feeling like you're never doing enough. Therapy can help you challenge these beliefs, develop self-compassion, and build a more secure sense of self.
