Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we recognize that self-esteem is a foundational aspect of personal well-being and healthy relationships. Our approach to enhancing self-esteem involves helping individuals uncover the hidden fears and limiting beliefs that contribute to feelings of inadequacy, such as fear of judgment, fear of failure, or fear of rejection. Through the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide clients to identify their “chief defenses” that often manifest as self-criticism, withdrawal, or overcompensation. By encouraging individuals to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a supportive environment for self-exploration and growth. This transformative process empowers clients to embrace their true selves, cultivate self-compassion, and challenge negative thought patterns. As self-esteem improves, individuals inevitably find that their relationships become more authentic and fulfilling, leading to deeper connections and a greater sense of overall happiness and confidence in their lives.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, CHt
We all have an inner voice, but for some that voice can be overwhelmingly negative and self-critical. Hypnotherapy can be used to "flip the script", teaching you tools to turn negative self-talk into powerful self-motivation.

Nikita Marina
Psychologist, Past Life Regression, Energetic Management, Holistic Psychology, Coaching, Inner Space Therapy (IST)
Self-esteem stems from deep appreciation and acceptance of our personal worth and values. In the modern world, our perception and expectations of ourselves are heavily impacted by the distorted mirror of the social media. Even the most externally successful people can struggle from low self-esteem. If not addressed, it can potentially become a debilitating all consuming issue that spills out onto every aspect of one's life. The work on self-esteem is really the work on getting to know and accepting both the parts of us that we like and the aspects that we reject, also known as the Shadow.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Self-esteem and self-worth can often be old negative beliefs and narratives that have been repeated over time by others and with your internal dialogue. Learning self-compassion and practicing the nurture of self-care can help to create a different and more loving relationship with yourself.

Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is complex and highly personal. Low self-esteem can cause problems, particularly in relationships. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, understand possible sources of them, and practice ways to help build an "internal anchor" from which you can confidently navigate the world.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if you saw yourself the way others saw you? Imagine if you could finally feel like you're good enough, doing enough, loved enough. What if you talked to others the way you talked to yourself? How come your inner critic is giving you such a hard time?
Improving the relationship you have with yourself is where therapy often starts.
Let's make sense of the recurring themes in your negative self-talk. You'll practice re-evaluating what your mind's telling you to make sure it's accurate, representative, and helpful for you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Where did these self-defeating messages come from? How can we reframe them to be more encouraging and reassuring so they stop holding you back?
You'll learn your preferences, your triggers, and how to assert boundaries through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). You'll identify your values and start noticing when people push you to act in ways that contradict what's most important to you through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
This is all figure-out-able.

Vanessa Ffrench
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (103346), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience working with clients who are suffering with self-esteem issues. I approach these issues with ACT, body-oriented practices and mindfulness, as well as identifying earlier childhood patterns and internalizations that created a poor sense of self and low self esteem. I encourage self-compassion first and foremost with these clients.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Therapy has helped me learn how to trust myself despite expectations from family, friends, and culture. The weight of societal pressures may cause us to doubt ourselves and second-guess our decisions. As you connect more deeply with who you are, your own self awareness will inspire confidence and clarity in your values, desires, and boundaries. This awareness acts as our anchor when our self esteem is challenged. My hope is to provide a safer place for you to cultivate that deeper connection with yourself. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
