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

Lee Scher

Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Self esteem is one of deepest challenges of people who've survived neglect and abuse. In order to head off bad treatment, you may have learned to give yourself a hard time before anyone else could. Many survivors end up internalizing those harsh voices. Building self esteem requires a commitment and regular practice, but it is possible to change your relationship with yourself to a kinder and more appreciative one.

Portland, Oregon therapist: Lesley Lacny, licensed professional counselor
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.

Self Esteem

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.
