Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Self-esteem struggles can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Many women find themselves measuring their worth by performance, approval, or how well they meet expectations. In our work together, we focus on understanding where these beliefs developed and strengthening a more stable internal sense of value that is not dependent on constant achievement or external validation.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Systems of oppression impact self-esteem by perpetuating discrimination, marginalization, and negative stereotypes that devalue us based on race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or other identities. These oppressive systems can lead to internalized negative beliefs, chronic stress and diminished self-worth as we constantly face societal messages that undermine their value and abilities. This ongoing marginalization and exclusion contribute to feelings of inferiority, powerlessness and self-doubt, significantly harming self-esteem and overall mental health. My approach to therapy actively works to reduce sexism, racism, classism, ableism, weightism and other exclusionary classes by helping you understand how you have been impacted by these systems and deconstructing the beliefs youhold that perpetuate these exclusionary institutions.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for self-esteem issues, including low self-worth, self-doubt, chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, and difficulty feeling confident or “good enough,” even when supported by others. These struggles can affect relationships, career confidence, decision-making, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to self-esteem counseling, helping clients understand the underlying emotional experiences, past trauma, and relational patterns that often contribute to negative self-beliefs. Many self-esteem challenges are not simply about confidence, but about deeper wounds formed through past experiences, attachment dynamics, criticism, neglect, or emotional invalidation.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process underlying experiences and shift long-standing negative beliefs about themselves. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing self-awareness, and building a more stable and compassionate sense of identity.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating.
The goal of therapy is not only to improve confidence, but to support lasting change in how clients view themselves and their place in the world. Through this process, clients can develop greater emotional resilience, authenticity, and self-trust.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond self-doubt and develop a stronger, more grounded, and more secure sense of self-worth and identity.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Self esteem reprogramming is at the heart of almost all of my hypnotherapy. We literally install new hardware, and build our hypnotic commands around this, along with a full spectrum of other modalities that work to uncover old, erroneous belief systems and reframe them with newly desired and healthy alternatives. We may, for instance, regress you to the root cause memory in order to give the inner child a chance to authentically express their true feelings. With the release of emotions and words that have been suppressed for far too long, comes liberation and the path forward again. We then rebuild and may use visualizations and breathwork to the future that becomes your reality where you are confidently free and self-assured and in a state of peace under all circumstances.
