Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Self-esteem challenges often show up not just as low confidence, but as an ongoing inner narrative of self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a feeling of not being “enough” no matter how much you accomplish or give to others. Many clients struggle with over-functioning externally while feeling internally uncertain, unworthy, or disconnected from a stable sense of self.
In therapy, we explore where these beliefs come from and how they have been reinforced over time through relationships, early experiences, and internalized expectations. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, low self-esteem is understood not as a fixed trait, but as a learned relational pattern that can shift over time.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we gently turn toward the body-based experience of self-doubt — the tightening, sinking, or critical internal voice — and begin to relate to it with curiosity rather than identification. This creates space for new internal experiences to emerge.
As clients develop greater self-awareness and emotional safety within themselves, self-esteem begins to shift from something externally based to something more stable, embodied, and internally anchored.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Low self-esteem doesn’t always mean lacking confidence. Sometimes it shows up as imposter feelings, difficulty setting boundaries, over-functioning for others, or constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, achievement patterns, and internal narratives have shaped the way you see yourself. Using CBT and values-based interventions, I help clients build a more stable sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent solely on productivity or approval. The goal is to strengthen your ability to trust yourself, advocate for your needs, and move through life with greater confidence and clarity.

DL, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP
I specialize in self-esteem therapy for adults struggling with low self-confidence, chronic self-doubt, perfectionism, and negative self-talk. Many high-functioning individuals experience persistent feelings of inadequacy despite external success. In therapy, I help clients develop self-worth that is not tied to productivity, achievement, or external validation. This work supports increased emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure sense of self. The goal is lasting self-trust and confidence rooted in self-understanding rather than performance.
