Self Esteem
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose self-esteem has been shaped by years of masking, code-switching, or measuring themselves against corporate, academic, or cultural standards, including neurodivergent adults, first-generation professionals, and Latinx clients navigating cultural identity. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns underneath self-doubt and build a more accurate, sustainable sense of your own competence. Many of my clients arrive highly accomplished on paper and privately unconvinced of it, our work together closes that gap. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Self Esteem
Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self-esteem is often woven into many of the concerns I treat, including anxiety, depression, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and difficult relationship patterns. I help clients understand the experiences and beliefs that have shaped how they see themselves, while developing a more stable sense of self-worth that is less dependent on achievement, approval, or meeting impossible standards.

Her Healing Therapy PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LCMHC
Self-esteem can evolve throughout adulthood as our experiences, priorities, and perceptions of ourselves change. I help women explore challenges with confidence, self-worth, and personal identity while developing greater self-compassion and acceptance. Our work focuses on recognizing personal strengths, challenging limiting beliefs, and building a more positive and authentic sense of self.

Self Esteem
Laura Silva, LicMHC - Online/Virtual Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, Traditional, Integrative, Heart Centered counseling. Coach, Educator, Depth Therapy.
There is difference between Self Esteem and Self-Worth, though often used interchangeably. Building positive self esteem is how we evaluate ourselves. It is our internal assessment of our qualities and attributes. We have healthy self esteem when what we think, feel and believe about ourselves is honest and realistic. Unhealthy self esteem can lead to the trap of Narcissism. Low self-esteem is underestimating or ignoring your positive characteristics. Do you tell yourself that you are stupid, lazy, boring, selfish, or generally a bad person because of the things you think, say or do? Through various modalities and new learning, I will help you build skills of positive self-esteem and especially realize your intrinsic value, goodness and capabilities i.e. your Self-Worth.

Self Esteem
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may appear confident and capable to others while privately questioning whether you're good enough, worrying about how you're perceived, or measuring your worth by what you accomplish and how much others approve of you. Perhaps you know intellectually that you're worthy, but that belief doesn't hold up when you make a mistake, disappoint someone, or feel rejected. I help clients explore the experiences and deeply held beliefs that shape how they see themselves, including the ways people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-criticism may have become ways of seeking acceptance or protecting against shame. Rather than simply replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations, we work toward a more durable sense of self-worth that can withstand imperfection, uncertainty, and other people's reactions.

Self Esteem
Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
How do we come into confidence? One of the first questions I ask my clients is "what does confidence mean to you?" It never ceases to amaze me that each of us has a slightly different definition. What if your definition really doesn't have much to do with it at all? Everything I have learned as a certified professional Holistic Life Coach turned my own definition on it's head. I invite you to share with me what self esteem and confidence mean to you so that we can start to explore how you see yourself and your relation to others. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement the therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I have a toolkit of fun methods and approaches to self esteem designed to help you question your own assumptions, internal unconscious agreements, and unacknowledged (perhaps limiting) beliefs to get to a place of awareness and insight—the place where confidence truly lives.

Self Esteem
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or feelings of not being "good enough," whether in school, at work, in relationships, or other areas of life. These experiences can make it difficult to recognize your strengths, trust yourself, and pursue the life you want.
In therapy, we'll work together to better understand the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your self-esteem and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we'll challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build self-compassion, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident, resilient, and authentic in your daily life.
