Brandon Zahl
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Are you exhausted from struggling with low-esteem? You know you should be able to believe in yourself but your self-critic is tirelessly pointing out ways you don't measure up. No matter what you do, you never feel quite good enough or worthy of attention, respect and love from others. Together we'll work to build up a sense of self-confidence starting by tapping into feelings of strength and confidence within your body. We'll dig into the messages of unworthiness given to you and stand up to the lie that you're just not good enough. We'll establish your right to set boundaries, to ask for what you need and feel confident in doing so.

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.

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.

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.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
