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.

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.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
When you’ve spent years questioning yourself, comparing yourself to others, or looking outside yourself for reassurance, it can become difficult to recognize your own worth. Low self-esteem may show up as people-pleasing, negative self-talk, difficulty making decisions, accepting less than you deserve in relationships, or believing everyone else’s needs and opinions matter more than your own. I help women explore the experiences and core wounds that have shaped how they see themselves. Together, we’ll work toward quieting the inner critic, strengthening your voice, developing self-compassion, and building the kind of self-trust that allows you to make choices based on who you are rather than who you think you need to be for everyone else.

Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem can influence the way you view yourself, your relationships, and your ability to pursue goals. Therapy can help you identify and challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck, develop greater self-compassion, recognize your strengths, and build confidence that is rooted in authenticity rather than 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.

Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Health and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
