Self Esteem
Michelle Juarez (Reflections Counseling Services)
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Low self-esteem often develops through experiences of loss, trauma, or prolonged stress and can affect how individuals view themselves, their bodies, and their sense of worth. I offer personalized, trauma-informed therapy to help clients strengthen self-esteem, build self-compassion, and reconnect with their inner resilience. Therapy provides a supportive space to challenge negative self-beliefs and develop a more grounded, confident relationship with yourself.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Self-esteem struggles can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Many women find themselves measuring their worth by performance, approval, or how well they meet expectations. In our work together, we focus on understanding where these beliefs developed and strengthening a more stable internal sense of value that is not dependent on constant achievement or external validation.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
So many girls and women move through life carrying a quiet but persistent belief that they are not enough, not smart enough, not worthy enough, not good enough, and over time, that belief can shape every decision, relationship, and opportunity they allow themselves to pursue. At Alabaster Counseling, we are passionate about helping girls and women of all ages break free from the patterns of self-doubt and negative self-talk that have been holding them back. We understand that low self-esteem often has deep roots, and we approach this work with gentleness, patience, and evidence-based tools that help you begin to see yourself more clearly and more kindly. Because you have always been enough, and we believe therapy can help you finally feel that way too.

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.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
On the outside, you're swimming right along. On the inside, you feel like a fraud. A failure. Any minute now, someone might find out who you really are.
Ouch! It's so exhausting to keep beating yourself up and hiding that you're beating yourself up. Let's break that cycle. I work with folks to examine where this pattern came from, and how we can change those underlying beliefs to help you learn to love yourself. You deserve love. You deserve connection. You deserve healing. Let's get to work.

Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Low self‑esteem often comes from years of criticism, trauma, or feeling like you are “too much” or “not enough.” Together, we notice how this shows up in your body, choices, and relationships, challenge shame‑based beliefs, and practice new, more compassionate ways of relating to yourself.

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.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
