Self Esteem
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self-esteem is something everyone struggles with from time to time. My belief is that it comes from childhood messages from both environmental and caregiving factors. I am positive that through talking and working through these factors that patients can find relief and new perspectives on their self-esteem and self-worth

Self Esteem
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.

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
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.
