Self Esteem
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Self-esteem is not a "nice to have"...it is a "NEED to have". How we see ourselves is fundamental, it is the lens through which we see our world and everything and everyone in it. Improving self-esteem is the #1 thing you can do to make your life better. I work with people on self-esteem more and more and welcome working with you on it.

Self Esteem
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Self Esteem
Kevin Childs
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all receive messaging about who we are and what we can achieve. Some of that messaging has been internalized. we have all internalized messages that have influenced how we see ourselves and how we interact with our world. Some of it is accurate and some of it is not... some messaging is helpful, but only for a season... some messaging needs to be updated. The messages that have been communicated to us about ourselves will be examined to determine their proper place in our lives.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
I introduced treatment for self-esteem into my practice as a stand-alone goal years ago learning about this topic through research. When working with patients in the first few sessions themes will emerge and I will learn how self-esteem presents itself with them. The three areas of focus in terms of self-esteem and how I approach healing is to look at Self-Love, Self-Confidence and Self-Worth.

Self Esteem
Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
A harsh inner critic usually formed for a reason, often to protect us early in life. Rather than arguing with it, we get curious about what it’s guarding against and what it needs. Using parts work and somatic awareness, I help clients develop a kinder, steadier relationship with themselves that shows up in how they speak, set boundaries, and take up space.
