Logan Williamson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Neurodivergent people have usually absorbed a lifetime of negative feedback about the way they operate. I use my clinical acumen, along with a good deal of my sense of humor, to work out how we got here and how to get ourselves out.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Low self-esteem isn't a personality trait it's a subconscious program installed early and reinforced over time. Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt — these are identity-level patterns, not character flaws. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work with high performers in Dallas and virtually to locate the specific belief structures undermining their self-concept and replace them with an identity that matches their actual capability.

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.

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.

Dr. Katerina Nair

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!
