Self Esteem
Janese Leatherbury
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LiCSW
My approach to treating self-esteem in therapy is compassionate, insight-oriented, and grounded in building an integrated and stable sense of self. I understand low self-esteem as often rooted in early attachment experiences, critical messaging, trauma, or repeated relational wounds that shape core beliefs such as “I’m not enough” or “I’m too much.” In our work together, we gently identify and challenge these narratives while strengthening a more balanced and accurate self-view.
I integrate CBT to address negative self-talk and cognitive distortions, alongside attachment-informed and trauma-sensitive approaches to explore the origins of shame and self-doubt. We focus on increasing emotional awareness, self-compassion, and alignment between values and behavior. Clients also build practical skills in boundary-setting, assertive communication, and self-trust to reinforce internal change with external action.
Throughout treatment, I emphasize authenticity over perfection. My goal is to help clients move from self-criticism and comparison toward a grounded sense of worthiness—developing confidence that is not dependent on performance or approval, but rooted in a stable and compassionate relationship with themselves.

Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
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
Individual and Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Too many of us grow up believing we aren't good enough. However, if we really take the time and start to explore that belief, it breaks down pretty quickly. Self-esteem can be grown. It can be built. It can become stronger and sustainable.

Self Esteem
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Years inside a narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship don't just hurt your confidence — they systematically dismantle your sense of self. The gaslighting convinces you that your perceptions are wrong. The criticism convinces you that you're not enough. The control convinces you that you can't trust your own judgment. By the time many mothers reach out for help, they describe not knowing who they are anymore outside of the relationship and their role as a caregiver. Rebuilding self-esteem after narcissistic abuse is not about positive affirmations or confidence exercises. It requires understanding how the abuse reshaped your self-perception, healing the attachment wounds that made you vulnerable to this dynamic, and systematically rebuilding self-trust from the ground up. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience in narcissistic abuse recovery, I work with mothers to reclaim their identity, rebuild their self-worth, and develop the kind of deep self-trust that cannot be gaslit away again.

Self Esteem
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.
