Self-esteem or self regard is an important foundation for living in the world. Addressing the injuries and unhelpful conditioning will allow us to make space for that natural acknowledgment of self to emerge in a healthy and productive way.

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
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Low self-esteem often grows out of shame and critical environments. IFS, attachment focused, trauma informed, and narrative therapy help uncover and transform negative beliefs, while mindfulness and humanistic approaches foster self-compassion. I provide careful diagnostic evaluation to distinguish self-esteem struggles from depression, trauma, or social anxiety.

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!

Elza Boycheva
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC
Do you struggle with feeling either that you're 'not good enough' or that you're 'too much'? You may be constantly overthinking situations or overanalyzing what others might think. You might feel that your emotions or your needs are 'too much' and you may try to suppress them. You may worry that others don't truly want to be with you or that they merely tolerate being around you out of politeness or obligation. You may frequently compare yourself to others and feel that others are somehow ahead in life or more successful than you. Or, you may have extremely high or perfectionistic standards of yourself and of what you do. You may have low self-esteem in one specific area or life (like relationships, work, parenting, etc) or your low self-esteem may be generalized across all areas of your life.
