Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Dr. Marion Rudin Frank

Poor self esteem may originate from childhood experiences or society. Enhanced relationship with oneself is important for oneself and in order to have healthy relationships with others. Assertive skills work wonders here.

Self Esteem
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Low self-esteem in men is often hidden behind over-achievment, competence, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism. I work with men whose internal standards, shame, or negative self-beliefs undermine confidence and relationships. Treatment targets the origins of these beliefs and builds a more stable, grounded sense of self—not inflated confidence, but earned self-respect.

Self Esteem
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and what you believe you are allowed to want. Therapy can help you examine the experiences and internalized messages that have contributed to self-doubt while developing a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself. The goal is not to force yourself to “think positively,” but to build a sense of self that feels more secure and authentic.

Self Esteem
Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
At Full Being Services, we help individuals build a stronger, healthier sense of self-worth and confidence. Low self-esteem often develops from past experiences, trauma, societal pressures, or internalized messages that undermine one’s value. Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and centered on helping clients recognize their inherent strengths, resilience, and potential.
We work with adults, adolescents, and young adults to challenge negative self-beliefs, develop self-compassion, and cultivate authentic self-expression. Therapy focuses on practical strategies for assertiveness, boundary-setting, decision-making, and personal growth—supporting clients in feeling empowered both internally and in their relationships and environments.
Self-esteem counseling at Full Being Services is about more than confidence—it’s about fostering a sustainable sense of worth and agency, so you can navigate life with clarity, resilience, and self-respect.
