Dr. Amber Thornton

Many self-esteem struggles stem from early messages about worth, belonging, and perfection. In therapy, we’ll uncover the origins of your inner critic and begin cultivating a stronger, more compassionate sense of self. My goal is to help you feel grounded in who you are , not just what you do. I want you to become confident in your capacity to grow, love, and be loved.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with self-esteem issues by helping the person identify what he or she perceives as a self-esteem problem. It usually reflects conflicts that grew from insufficient recognition of their value or worth; or, in contrast, and inflation of their sense of self, to mask deep insecurity.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Whether it is imposter syndrome in a school or workplace setting or lacking confidence in a social context, many individuals struggle with self esteem at some point in their lives. I have extensive experience working with individuals to improve their overall self confidence and self esteem. I often pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify how we can make changes to thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that may be at the root of lower 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.

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 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 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.

It is easy to feel down on ourselves. When we're down on ourselves, it's important to stop and reflect. One of my strengths is helping clients do this. I will ask thoughtful questions that generate insight and new thoughts, and we will work together to help you feel better.

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. Sarah Arango
Psychologist, PhD
Low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and negative self-talk can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and your ability to reach your goals. You may find yourself second-guessing decisions, feeling “not enough,” or struggling to accept compliments or success. In therapy, we’ll explore the experiences that shaped your self-image and practice new ways of relating to yourself with compassion and confidence. Together, we’ll work toward a steadier sense of self-worth that isn’t tied to perfection or external approval.
