Self Esteem
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals who are struggling with self esteem, self doubt, or a harsh inner critic that affects their relationships, work, and sense of self. Low self esteem can show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, fear of rejection, or feeling like you are never quite enough, even when things appear to be going well on the outside.
In therapy, we focus on understanding where these beliefs developed and how they continue to influence your choices and relationships. I help clients build greater self awareness, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop a more compassionate and balanced relationship with themselves.
Over time, many clients find they are better able to trust themselves, set healthier boundaries, and show up more confidently in their lives and relationships. The goal is not to become someone else, but to strengthen your sense of worth and self respect as you are.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Struggling with self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity on the outside. It can show up as overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re never quite enough—no matter how much you achieve or give. You might be hard on yourself in ways you’d never be with anyone else, and that internal voice can start to shape how you show up in your relationships, your work, and your own self-worth.
I help people untangle where those beliefs came from and how to start relating to themselves in a more compassionate and honest way. That includes looking at early messages, relational dynamics, trauma, or experiences that made you question your value in the first place.
You don’t have to earn your worth. Therapy can help you remember who you are without all the noise, and start building confidence that feels real and lasting.

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
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!

Irving sits at the heart of the Las Colinas corporate corridor — home to the headquarters of McKesson, Caterpillar, Celanese, and dozens of other major companies — creating consistent demand for therapists experienced with executive stress, workplace culture, and the psychological cost of high-stakes corporate careers. The city's large South Asian and Korean professional communities generate significant demand for culturally competent therapists who understand bicultural identity, immigration stress, and the intersection of professional ambition with family expectations. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Irving provides institutional mental health resources, with the broader Dallas-Fort Worth metro therapy ecosystem accessible to residents across the city. Irving's role as a corporate suburb rather than a city with strong neighborhood identity means social isolation and community-building are recurring therapy themes.
