Self Esteem
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.

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.

Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I guide men and women to find their own power by exploring their understanding of themselves and uproot negative patterns to realize who they want to become. Through this work, they can find a renewed sense of self that is self-loving, self-understanding, self-fulfilled, and find true inner peace. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

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.

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.
