Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

Self Esteem
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, comparison, and feeling like they are never doing enough. Many high achievers base their self-worth on performance, approval, or constant productivity, which can create anxiety and emotional exhaustion. In therapy, we work on challenging negative self-talk, building internal confidence, and developing a more balanced view of success and personal value. My goal is to help clients feel more secure in who they are, not just what they accomplish.
