Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Having a poor self-image and thinking negatively about yourself can tear you down. But knowing your worth in Christ and tackling negative messages can lift you up and give you a renewed sense of self-worth. Dealing with past issue and messages that led to the self-esteem can prove beneficial to the client.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their low sense of self. I help them to identify strengths, and focus on what is in that person's control in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their self-perception.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with self-esteem, you may find yourself doubting your worth, second-guessing your decisions, or relying on others’ approval to feel okay about yourself. You might be highly capable, yet still feel “not good enough,” focusing on your mistakes while discounting your strengths. Over time, this can affect your confidence, relationships, and willingness to go after what you truly want.
I help clients build a stronger, more stable sense of self that doesn’t depend on constant external validation. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the negative thought patterns and beliefs that undermine your confidence. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to change the internal dialogue and emotional responses that reinforce self-doubt. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take action in alignment with your values, even when confidence isn’t fully in place.
What’s often missing isn’t ability—you likely already have the skills and qualities needed to succeed. What’s missing is an internal foundation of self-trust and a way to interrupt the automatic self-criticism that keeps you feeling small or uncertain. Without that shift, self-doubt continues to influence how you think, feel, and act.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to see yourself differently. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you develop greater self-confidence, reduce self-doubt, and build a more secure, consistent sense of self.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
There are times we have had experiences or interactions that have dampened the way we see ourselves. So often our inner voice is quite negative and judgemental. Through therapy, we will examine what your self-esteem is based on, where it needs strengthening, and how to shore up your coping skills, self-talk, and sense of self.

Carrie Jones, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LifeVision Counseling, LLC
Feeling good about yourself is one of the keys to reaching your highest potential and living a great life. If your self-esteem is at a low or you're second guessing yourself, you can start to feel pretty bad. Often stressful life events, negative self-talk and thought patterns, spending time with negative or judgmental people, and even social media can cause your self-esteem to take a hit. Fortunately, there are actions you can take to start loving and embodying the full and authentic version of yourself. Some of these actions include pattern-interrupts, emotional check-ins, and diving into self-discovery. What therapy can help you realize and believe is that you're "good enough" just because you're you.

Mary Sayre
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC
Low self esteem is deeply painful and one is often filled with shame about who he/she/they is(are).
It is helpful to understand the context of low self esteem in helping to rewire the brain and the messages that it carries about oneself.
