Self Esteem
Abbrielle Schenck
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-Associate
Low self-esteem is not about confidence alone. It is often rooted in early experiences, relational wounds, and internalized messages about worth. I help clients explore where these beliefs came from, how they show up today, and how to build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with themselves. My goal is not to inflate confidence, but to help clients feel secure, valued, and emotionally anchored.

Self Esteem
Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Low self-esteem is like viewing your entire life through a distorted mirror, where your achievements are minimized and your flaws are magnified. It is that persistent, critical inner voice telling you that you are not smart enough, attractive enough, or worthy of the good things in life. When your self-esteem is wounded, you might find yourself constantly seeking approval from others, tolerating poor treatment in relationships, or holding yourself back from careers and opportunities you deserve. This self-doubt can be exhausting, but it is not a permanent part of who you are—it is simply a deeply ingrained habit of thought.Therapy provides a supportive, validating space to quiet your inner critic and fundamentally rewrite how you view yourself. Together, we will examine the old stories and past experiences that shaped your low self-worth, allowing you to safely dismantle them. You will learn practical tools to cultivate genuine self-compassion, establish firm boundaries, and begin recognizing your inherent value, empowering you to live your life with confidence and authenticity.

Self Esteem
Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Self-esteem struggles often develop from early experiences where messages about who you were became internalized over time, shaping a harsh, self-critical inner voice rooted in shame and self-doubt. What many clients experience as low self-esteem is often a pattern of self-condemnation that once served a protective purpose. In our work together, we begin to understand how these patterns formed and how they continue to shape your relationship with yourself. My approach integrates expressive arts therapy, using modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression to externalize and explore these internal experiences, alongside a parts-informed perspective to understand the aspects of you that carry self-criticism, protection, or vulnerability. This process supports a shift toward greater awareness, compassion, and a more grounded sense of self.

Kristin Wright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Is your worst critic the one that stares back at you in the mirror? Or have you been criticized most of your life and struggle to find your own worth? We are often hardest on ourselves, but this often comes from years of being put down or hurt by others. Together, we would process past hurts and find all of those amazing qualities inside of you that you struggle to see. Building your self-worth can be hard. But you deserve to give yourself the same love that you give to everyone else. I would be happy to help you along that journey to loving yourself!

Self Esteem
Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Most people who struggle with self-esteem didn't arrive there on their own. Somewhere along the way — in a childhood home, a classroom, a relationship, a culture that was constantly telling you who you should be and how you were falling short — you learned to see yourself through a lens that was never yours to begin with.
Low self-esteem has a way of quietly running the show. It's in the opportunities you don't pursue because you assume you'll fail. The relationships you stay in because you don't believe you deserve better. The compliments you deflect, the achievements you minimize, the relentless inner voice that seems to know exactly where to hit. It's exhausting to live at war with yourself — and most people have been doing it for so long they've forgotten there was ever another option.
At Love Let Out, we work with people who are ready to start questioning the story they've been told about themselves. Not with toxic positivity or hollow affirmations, but with real, honest, grounded work — looking at where those beliefs came from, why they took hold, and whether they actually hold up when examined in the light.
This isn't about becoming someone who loves everything about themselves all the time. It's about building a relationship with yourself that is honest, compassionate, and no longer dependent on the approval of others to feel like enough. It's about recognizing that the voice telling you that you're too much, not enough, or fundamentally flawed — was never the truth. It was just something you were taught.
You were never the problem. And it's not too late to start believing that.
