Self Esteem
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Over the course of my extensive career working with clients, I have come to recognize a central theme that underpins many psychological conditions: the pervasive belief that one is "not good enough." It's these negative thoughts, deeply ingrained, that often serve as the bedrock of depression and anxiety. Yet, the undeniable truth is that you are inherently perfect and complete just as you are in this very moment. There's no need to strive for greater wealth, slimmer physique, heightened intelligence, or increased affluence to be deserving and inherently worthy.
My approach to bolstering your self-esteem is highly personalized, crafted to align with your unique personality and life circumstances. As a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help you uncover blind spots and confront those negative core beliefs that may be eroding your self-esteem. Together, we embark on the journey of rewiring your brain with more empowering thought patterns. This multifaceted approach may incorporate various therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, thought conditioning, cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, problem-solving strategies, and honing your social skills. Throughout this transformative process, I will impart specific tools and techniques designed to fortify your self-esteem, drawing upon practices such as affirmations, mindfulness, meditation, visualization, and positive self-talk. Our collaborative efforts aim to empower you with heightened self-esteem and a profound sense of self-efficacy, ultimately paving the way for a life filled with inner joy and tranquility.

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.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Whether it be due to past trauma, teasing, depression, or other insecurities or underlying mental health concerns, issues with self-esteem are quite prominent among the clients I treat. Working with my clients to enhance their self-confidence and self-worth is among the most rewarding work that I do and often leads to seeing a list of options that didn't feel realistic before, in turn facilitating long-term and lasting change.
