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.

Self Esteem
Annie Kurz
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.B.A., LMHC
Understanding self, within the world, the community and family is a necessity to understanding your roles, desires, and talents. Esteem is earned from oneself when attention is paid to all that significantly matters to you whatever your realm of community and purpose. Ms. Kurz provides a road map for learning self-love so that you can subsequently more fully love others. Self-esteem is a natural by-product of this love of self and other.

Debiruth Stanford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CDWF, 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
Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Self-esteem struggles can make even simple moments feel uncertain. In therapy, we uncover where these patterns come from and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. You’re capable of far more than the inner critic suggests, and I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth.

Self Esteem
Daniel Hong
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC
I work with individuals who struggle with self-esteem, self-doubt, and a persistent inner critic. Often, low self-esteem develops not because something is “wrong” with you, but because you learned to adapt to environments where your needs, feelings, or worth were minimized. Through a person-centered and self-compassionate approach, therapy becomes a space to soften harsh self-judgments, reconnect with your inherent worth, and build a more trusting relationship with yourself.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Britney Halversen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When your self-worth is tied to others’ approval, it can feel like your mood rises and falls with how people treat you. Through therapy, you’ll strengthen your internal foundation by learning to validate yourself, hold your own emotional ground, and feel more stable no matter what’s happening around you.
