Self Esteem
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggling with self-esteem can feel like carrying around a quiet but persistent voice that tells you you’re not good enough, no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try. It might show up as self-doubt in relationships, difficulty asserting your needs, or constantly comparing yourself to others. Maybe you find yourself replaying past mistakes or feeling like you have to prove your worth to those around you. Over time, these patterns can take a toll on your confidence and hold you back from fully embracing your life.
Building self-esteem isn’t about striving for perfection—it’s about changing the way you see yourself, learning to challenge self-criticism, and developing a more compassionate, confident inner voice. Together, we’ll work to uncover the beliefs that have shaped your self-perception, recognize the strengths that already exist within you, and help you move toward a sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin, trust in your abilities, and advocate for yourself with confidence.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Self-Esteem is closely connected to our values and behavior. Therapy can help you identify how your daily habits may be breaking down a healthy sense of self and how to replace those habits. Approaches I use to accomplish this work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Self Esteem
Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Over the course of my extensive career working with clients, I have come to recognize a central theme that underpins many psychological conditions: the pervasive belief that one is "not good enough." It's these negative thoughts, deeply ingrained, that often serve as the bedrock of depression and anxiety. Yet, the undeniable truth is that you are inherently perfect and complete just as you are in this very moment. There's no need to strive for greater wealth, slimmer physique, heightened intelligence, or increased affluence to be deserving and inherently worthy.
My approach to bolstering your self-esteem is highly personalized, crafted to align with your unique personality and life circumstances. As a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help you uncover blind spots and confront those negative core beliefs that may be eroding your self-esteem. Together, we embark on the journey of rewiring your brain with more empowering thought patterns. This multifaceted approach may incorporate various therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, thought conditioning, cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, problem-solving strategies, and honing your social skills. Throughout this transformative process, I will impart specific tools and techniques designed to fortify your self-esteem, drawing upon practices such as affirmations, mindfulness, meditation, visualization, and positive self-talk. Our collaborative efforts aim to empower you with heightened self-esteem and a profound sense of self-efficacy, ultimately paving the way for a life filled with inner joy and tranquility.

Debiruth Stanford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, DWTF, CEQP
Low self-esteem. Ugh. Are you tired of looping through statements like "I'm not enough," "I'm an imposter" or "I'm a failure?" Does shame and fear make you want to crawl under a rock? It doesn't have to be like that. Let's find and eradicate the source of those negative beliefs so we can replace them with the positive attitudes, opinions, and beliefs that will bring you to the life that you deserve. Maybe you've seen Dr. Brene Brown's TED talk or read her bestselling books on self-esteem, shame, and vulnerability? I am a Certified Daring Way Facilitator for Dr. Brown's Daring Way™ and Rising Strong™ programs, and I can guide you through the work that will change the way you think about yourself. Let's talk!

Self Esteem
Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Our self-esteem can feel like a roller coaster at times. Sometimes we have all the confidence in the world and other times we have none. For some it might even feel like the self-esteem is never there. Either way this impacts how we show up to our daily lives. Low self-esteem can hold us back and make us believe we are not capable of achieving much. My approach to strengthening self-esteem is paying attention to the negative voices, determining what their motive could be, teaching those voices better ways of achieving that motive, and instilling more self-compassion for the the times when our self-esteem still is not where we want it to be.
