John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
In my sessions as a therapist, I often utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients build self-esteem by encouraging them to embrace their thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions aligned with their values. Additionally, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) allows us to explore and challenge negative thought patterns, fostering a healthier self-perception for individuals. I also integrate culturally sensitive, person-centered, and relational approaches to tailor the treatment to clients' unique cultural background and interpersonal dynamics, ensuring a holistic and effective therapeutic experience.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self Esteem has numerous ways that it can become a struggle; maybe it’s a lack of confidence, maybe it’s not believing you deserve good things, maybe it’s less noticeable ways that you forget to take care of yourself, and sometimes it’s a doubt that underneath it all, there is a self that exists, let alone deserves esteem. As a psychologist specializing in building deeper connection to one’s self, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to open shame-free spaces and explore who you are and who you want to be. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our sense of self is formed or disrupted by our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my sessions focusing on improving self-esteem, I often employ elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive thoughts about themselves. Additionally, I integrate aspects of Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel valued and understood, fostering a sense of acceptance and self-worth. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist clients in cultivating mindfulness skills and accepting their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to take meaningful actions aligned with their values and build a more confident sense of self.

Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with self-esteem issues involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients recognize and accept their negative self-beliefs without judgment, promoting actions that align with their core values and build self-worth. EMDR is utilized to process and resolve past traumatic experiences that have negatively impacted self-esteem, fostering cognitive and emotional healing. SE addresses the physiological aspects of low self-esteem, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of balance. This comprehensive approach supports clients in developing a healthier self-concept, improving emotional resilience, and enhancing overall well-being.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have been struggling with self-esteem issues and the challenges that this can lead to in their mood, relationships, sense of competence at school or work, and sense of identity. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming to many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
When it comes to enhancing self-esteem, hypnotherapy helps by reaching the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs and perceptions about ourselves are stored. During a hypnotherapy session, clients are guided into a state of deep relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions and affirmations. Hypnotherapy can also help uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and work through them, empowering individuals to build a healthier and more positive self-image, paving the way for greater personal and professional fulfillment. Its holistic approach ensures that the benefits extend beyond mere symptom relief, fostering long-term growth and resilience.
