Chanveen Taneja
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Building healthy Self Esteem is about more than just "thinking positive"; it is about unlearning the deep-seated narratives that tell you that you aren't enough. In our work together, we identify the origins of your self-doubt, whether they stem from childhood experiences, cultural expectations, or high-pressure life transitions. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and narrative techniques, I help you challenge your inner critic and replace it with a more authentic, compassionate voice. My goal is to empower you to cultivate a resilient sense of Self Esteem that allows you to show up confidently in your relationships, your career, and your daily life.

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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Struggling with self-esteem can affect nearly every part of life—from relationships and career choices to mental health and personal fulfillment. I work with individuals who feel held back by self-doubt, perfectionism, negative self-talk, or a persistent sense of not being “good enough.”
In our work together, we explore the underlying experiences that may have shaped your self-image and begin to challenge the internal narratives that keep you stuck. My approach is strengths-based and deeply supportive, focused on helping you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Through guided reflection, skill-building, and emotional support, we work toward fostering greater self-acceptance, confidence, and a stronger sense of identity—so you can move through life with more clarity, purpose, and inner peace.

DL, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP
I specialize in self-esteem therapy for adults struggling with low self-confidence, chronic self-doubt, perfectionism, and negative self-talk. Many high-functioning individuals experience persistent feelings of inadequacy despite external success. In therapy, I help clients develop self-worth that is not tied to productivity, achievement, or external validation. This work supports increased emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure sense of self. The goal is lasting self-trust and confidence rooted in self-understanding rather than performance.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Self-esteem is often thought of as a measure of worth, but from an existential perspective it reflects how fully a man is living in accordance with his own values and choices. Low self-esteem usually signals a disconnection between who you are and the roles, expectations, or narratives you have been carrying. I work with men to explore these tensions, confront the pressures that undermine confidence, and cultivate a sense of self rooted in authenticity rather than approval. The aim is not to inflate ego, but to build clarity, agency, and a grounded sense of worth that emerges from living deliberately.

Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.
