Self Esteem
Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You find yourself ruminating about the same situations without making decisions or changes.You need 10 different opinions before you can make a decision. You don't trust your inner voice, or maybe, you don't even hear your inner voice. Seeking therapy can help.
Therapy is a time set aside just for you for 50 minutes weekly in which the focus is entirely on you, your needs and sometimes needing to sort out what those needs actually may be. As important as the significant people in our lives are, people have opinions that come from a personal place. It is difficult to always separate “advice” from the “advice giver’s” perspective and their own needs. Therapy is not about being given advice. It is not about the therapist being judge or jury. It is not about the need for the therapist to have you do something in a way that makes the therapist happy or feel good. It is about being helped to unfold what you already know, your truth, not mine, and to allow what you know, need, and want to begin to emerge from underneath all the outside noise and influences.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Self-esteem issues can profoundly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For instance, low self-esteem can lead to substance abuse as a coping mechanism and hinder healthy relationship dynamics, exacerbating feelings of loneliness and depression. My role is to create a supportive space for individuals to address their self-esteem issues. Together, we identify negative thought patterns and develop strategies to challenge them. I also help build self-confidence through positive affirmations, goal-setting, and self-care activities.

Do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy and chronic self-doubt? Even the most successful people, who appear to have it all together, have to fight their own inner critic to get to where they are in life. However, unspoken fears or negative thoughts that induce self-doubt can turn into self-fulfilling prophecies and get in the way of you realizing your full potential. It isn’t easy to admit out loud one’s feelings of inadequacy but it sure is liberating and empowering to understand its roots and learn ways to break the cycle of impostor thinking. You can reclaim your self worth! I'm here to help.

Self Esteem
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Self-esteem problems occur when someone feels like they're not good enough, lacks confidence, and struggles to see their own worth. To help someone dealing with these issues, I'd start by creating a safe and supportive space where they can open up about what's bothering them. Together, we'd figure out what might be causing these feelings – whether it's past experiences, negative thoughts, or unhealthy relationships. In therapy, I'd help them challenge those negative thoughts, learn to be kinder to themselves, and see themselves in a more positive light. We'd also work on building their resilience and coping skills so they can handle life's ups and downs with more confidence. Ultimately, the aim is to help them realize how awesome they are, boost their self-esteem, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
ow self-esteem can cast a long shadow, whispering doubts in your ear and holding you back from living a full and meaningful life. It can manifest as a harsh inner critic, a constant feeling of inadequacy, or a relentless need for external validation. But where does this self-doubt originate? Is it a protective mechanism developed in response to past hurts, or the echo of critical voices that once shaped your sense of self?
Understanding the roots of your self-esteem challenges is crucial for healing and transformation. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I can help you explore the origins of your self-doubt, challenge negative thought patterns, and cultivate a more loving and accepting relationship with yourself. We'll integrate evidence-based therapies with mindfulness practices to help you develop self-compassion, build resilience, and reclaim your inherent worth.
