Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
You make a mistake at work, and hours later, you’re still thinking about it and wondering how you could have been so stupid.
When you grew up being criticized or made to feel like you weren’t good enough, it can be hard to stop seeing yourself through that same lens.
I use EMDR therapy to help adults work through the childhood experiences that shaped how they see themselves so one mistake doesn’t have the power to make them question their worth.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is a the root of many mental health problems: social and other forms of anxiety, depression, harmful relationship choices and sexual confidence to name a few. Whether it is home life or media that instills the ideal of perfect, or provides just a few limited acceptable options on how to be, the ramifications can be lifelong. Therapy is a safe space to better understand and explore yourself and develop certainty in who you are, as well as being a supportive therapeutic relationship to better inform you of who and what are you supports outside of the therapy room.

Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Low self-esteem can quietly erode your confidence, even when you’re achieving big things—like completing ultras or hitting training goals. You might catch yourself downplaying successes, feeling “not good enough” no matter how hard you train, comparing yourself to others on the trail or in life, or carrying a harsh inner critic that makes every setback feel personal. For endurance athletes, this often shows up as tying your worth to performance, pace, body composition, or external validation.
In our sessions, we gently unpack where these patterns started and work to rebuild a stronger, kinder sense of self. Using CBT to challenge self-critical thoughts, ACT to reconnect with your core values, and DBT skills for self-compassion and emotion regulation, we focus on practical tools that fit your busy athletic lifestyle.
Many clients experience meaningful shifts such as:
Quieting the inner critic and celebrating progress instead of perfection.
Building genuine confidence that isn’t dependent on race results or appearance.
Setting healthier boundaries and speaking to themselves with the same encouragement they’d offer a training partner.
Feeling more worthy of rest, joy, and success—on and off the trails.
Developing a stable sense of self that endures through injuries, DNFs, and life’s ups and downs.
I share practical resources like self-compassion exercises and self-worth journal prompts that we can personalize and use between sessions.
You are already strong—mentally and physically. You deserve to feel that strength in your heart as well as your legs. Together we can help you build lasting self-esteem so you can show up fully, run freely, and finish stronger in every area of life.
