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
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.

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
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
Self-Esteem starts with being a friend to ourselves. It requires stopping negative self-talk and replacing it with positive thoughts. Irrational and limiting beliefs can also be a blockage against developing self-esteem. Self Esteem also takes action and real world success. As we have more positive self-talk, and start believing in ourselves we will start being more motivated because we believe we can succeed and that our effort makes a difference. Then we start practicing more at whatever matters to us. We start to have more success in those areas and others start to notice and appreciate our skills. Feeling like you are good at something, have some positive relationships, and celebrating the little positive steps along the way gets the momentum of self esteem building going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be incredibly helpful to this process.
