Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
If you’ve spent years feeling not quite enough, second-guessing yourself, or struggling to believe that you deserve good things, that’s not a personality trait. It’s a wound — and wounds can heal.
Together we’ll explore where those beliefs came from, what they’ve cost you, and what it might feel like to finally relate to yourself with the same kindness you’d offer someone you love.

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.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I believe that so many mental health issues and symptoms result from low self-esteem and self-worth. I provide support to people in developing a more positive view of themselves and speaking to themselves more compassionately and kindly.

Nicole Waters (Flowing Waters Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Low self-esteem can color how you see yourself and the world around you, making it difficult to recognize your own worth and potential. In therapy, we’ll challenge negative self-beliefs, celebrate strengths, and rebuild your confidence from the inside out. You’ll learn to see yourself through a kinder, more empowering lens.

Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
How you see yourself shapes how you move through the world. When self-esteem is low, you may question your decisions, compare yourself to others, struggle to recognize your strengths, or feel that you are never quite enough. You may appear confident and successful on the outside while privately struggling with self-doubt, criticism, or the fear of disappointing others.
I work with individuals to understand the beliefs and experiences that have shaped the way they see themselves. Together, we explore the core beliefs that may be contributing to self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, insecurity, or self-sabotaging patterns.
Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, narrative psychology, and a strength-based approach, I help you examine the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and choices. We work to identify patterns that no longer serve you, challenge negative or limiting beliefs, and develop a more balanced and compassionate understanding of yourself.
Building self-esteem isn't about convincing yourself that everything is perfect or becoming someone you're not. It's about developing a more grounded sense of who you are—recognizing both your strengths and your vulnerabilities without allowing either to define your worth.
We can also explore how your self-esteem affects your relationships, career, parenting, and the decisions you make about your life. My goal is to help you become less dependent on external validation and more confident in your own values, judgment, and sense of self.
You don't have to become a different person to feel better about yourself. Therapy can help you reconnect with the person you already are, challenge the beliefs that have held you back, and build a life that feels more authentic, confident, and fulfilling.
