Self Esteem
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You can be accomplished, capable, and caring—and still quietly struggle with feeling like you're not enough. Self-esteem challenges don’t always shout; sometimes, they whisper through perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, or the sense that you’re constantly falling short. Many of my clients wrestle with imposter syndrome—feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of their success. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If your inner critic has been running the show, therapy can help you reconnect with a more realistic, compassionate view of yourself.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults who are ready to understand where these patterns began and how to shift them. Together, we’ll explore how early life dynamics—like high expectations, emotional invalidation, or being praised only for achievement—may still shape how you see yourself. We'll also examine how systems of oppression and societal messages around race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, productivity, and other aspects of identity can erode your sense of worth, even when you’ve done everything ‘right’ to succeed despite them.
This is a space where all parts of you are welcome. We’ll work to quiet the self-doubt, build insight, and strengthen your self-trust—so that confidence isn’t just something you perform, but something you actually feel. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to help you rewrite your internal narrative from self-criticism to self-respect. If you're ready to feel more at home in your own mind, I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Self Esteem
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Years inside a narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship don't just hurt your confidence — they systematically dismantle your sense of self. The gaslighting convinces you that your perceptions are wrong. The criticism convinces you that you're not enough. The control convinces you that you can't trust your own judgment. By the time many mothers reach out for help, they describe not knowing who they are anymore outside of the relationship and their role as a caregiver. Rebuilding self-esteem after narcissistic abuse is not about positive affirmations or confidence exercises. It requires understanding how the abuse reshaped your self-perception, healing the attachment wounds that made you vulnerable to this dynamic, and systematically rebuilding self-trust from the ground up. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience in narcissistic abuse recovery, I work with mothers to reclaim their identity, rebuild their self-worth, and develop the kind of deep self-trust that cannot be gaslit away again.

Self Esteem
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self esteem issues are universal. Do you think realistically or unrealistically about your self esteem or self-worth? Do you base your self esteem too much on what others think of you? Self esteem issues are often best treated with a combination of individual and group therapy. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with self esteem.

Self Esteem
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggling with self-esteem can feel like carrying around a quiet but persistent voice that tells you you’re not good enough, no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try. It might show up as self-doubt in relationships, difficulty asserting your needs, or constantly comparing yourself to others. Maybe you find yourself replaying past mistakes or feeling like you have to prove your worth to those around you. Over time, these patterns can take a toll on your confidence and hold you back from fully embracing your life.
Building self-esteem isn’t about striving for perfection—it’s about changing the way you see yourself, learning to challenge self-criticism, and developing a more compassionate, confident inner voice. Together, we’ll work to uncover the beliefs that have shaped your self-perception, recognize the strengths that already exist within you, and help you move toward a sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin, trust in your abilities, and advocate for yourself with confidence.
