Self Esteem
Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel confident and secure, but instead you are constantly thinking of yourself as flawed in some way, not good enough, or unlovable? It has been hard for you to work on these self-esteem concerns on your own. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from the negative impacts of low self-esteem. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Self Esteem
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

Life Coach, Bachelor of Social Work
When the sky opened and, as scripture says, Jesus heard the words, "This is My Beloved Son, listen to Him," this was also meant for all of God's children. We were meant to know and understand that we are beloved and important to God. I am here to help you renew your mind to the reality of God's love for you and that you are the reflection of the One who made you! You are priceless!

Madison Zimbal
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-IT
Struggles with self-esteem often show up as self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, comparison, or feeling like you are never quite “enough,” no matter what you achieve or how hard you try. I aid clients who are ready to move out of cycles of negative self-talk and begin seeing themselves in a more compassionate and truthful way. In therapy, we gently explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your sense of worth. Many clients discover they have been living from a place of pressure, approval-seeking, or internalized criticism that no longer serves them. Together, we begin to challenge those patterns and build a more grounded, stable sense of identity. My approach is supportive and practical, focusing on helping clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, develop self-compassion, and strengthen emotional resilience. The goal is not to create an inflated sense of confidence, but a steady, authentic understanding of your true worth that is not dependent on performance, appearance, or approval from others. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can be integrated to support the belief that worth is not something earned, but something inherent. Faith can offer a meaningful foundation for identity, healing, and restoration of how you see yourself.
My goal is to help clients move from self-criticism to self-understanding, and from insecurity to a more stable and compassionate sense of self—one rooted in truth, not comparison or fear.

Eileen Griffin
Psychologist, PsyD
Low self-esteem isn’t always obvious. You may look confident and competent while privately questioning yourself, comparing yourself to everyone else, or feeling like you’re somehow falling short. You may be relentlessly hard on yourself, constantly seeking reassurance, or have learned to measure your worth by how useful, successful, easygoing, or needed you are. Therapy can help you examine where those beliefs came from, understand the standards you’ve been holding yourself to, and develop a more grounded sense of who you are that isn’t dependent on constantly proving your worth.
