Self-Esteem

Jeanell Innerarity (She/Her)

Somatic Practitioner

MA, QMHP-C, LMT, CHT

I'll help you discover and affirm the deepest truth of who you are. You may have internalized critics or abusers from your family or society, or you may have had adverse experiences which cause you to doubt your self-worth. You may also have gifts and capacities which don't fit into a mainstream mold, causing you to doubt your own value rather than question the mold itself. You can start this work for FREE today with my mini-course, From Self-Critical to Self-Confident, available on my website.

Margaret McNeal (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

Self-Esteem issues are often rooted in the unconscious and tied to messages from our personal history or the dominant culture. Together, we will uncover and shift the hidden dynamics bringing you down. Be it an inner critic or internalized abuse, we will work to create a more compassionate and empowering relationship with yourself that sees and celebrates your gifts, helping to bring them to fruition.

Marcy Irene Jenks (she/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, RN, LPC, LMHC

From the start, life can be filled with experiences that erode our self-esteem and deflate any innate sense of confidence, which leads to consciously or unconsciously believing we are not worthy; we are not enough. Together, we can sort through the core material that developed these heart-breaking beliefs and discover the jewel of your being which is welcome here, and encouraged to shine its light.

Robin Carlisle (She/her)

Professional Counselor

Self-esteem is one of the easiest issues to address through hypnosis. Because it is a fundamental and universal imperative that you love yourself, it's required for survival. Self-esteem tends to be at the core of whatever issue you are struggling with. Once we address the core (self-worth), the crust (problematic thoughts and behaviors) tends to fall away.

Ryan Leiderman (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA LPC RCC

I use a collaborative, solution-focused and psychodynamic approach, along with mindfulness and CBT.

Amanda Holden, LPC, CADC-I (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Nicole Corbett (she/her)

Hypnotherapist

Certified Hypnotherapist and Brainspotting Practitioner

Few people cannot be helped by improving self-confidence and self-seteem. I specialize in addressing the root concerns that hold you back from feeling good about yourself. My clients break through issues that have caused slef-doubt and sabotage for decades.

Ladan Radafshar (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, NCC

There are many factors that contribute to our sense of worthiness and self-esteem. We will explore your self-esteem timeline and influences such as cultural, societal, socioeconomic, familial, and educational impacts on your self-concept. We will: - Explore your sense of meaning and belonging through clarifying values and beliefs. Bring awareness to relational patterns through an attachment lens. - Recognizing systems of oppression and their impact on the self.

Polly Gravely MS, LPC, MFT (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Nationally Certified Counselor

Most of us have an inner critical voice that keeps us in line, but for some of us that voice is punishing. Maybe your inner voice tells you that you're not good enough, that you look bad, and flings other criticisms at you. It's hard to live with a voice like that. I work to listen, to understand, and gradually shift this voice so that it trusts you, takes its right place, and works in support of you.

Kerry Powers, LPC (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Having a healthy sense of self is vital to feeling worthy and capable of manifesting the life you long for. We all experience wounds and hardships that serve to invalidate or diminish our sense of value. It is important that you understand the unique qualties that you possess and learn to move through the world holding your power, this is a process that can be reclaimed in our work together.

Congruent Therapy: Italia Hensley (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

I love working with individuals around self-esteem. Self-esteem work is vital to a healthy and happy life as an individual, in a relationship, and in the workforce.

Kate Reece (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

MSW, LCSW

Issues pertaining to self-esteem flood into all parts of a person's life, often negatively-effecting their relationships, jobs, and sense of competency. I have worked my entire career with young adults, adolescents, and adults to increase their understanding of their strengths, abilities, and realistic goals to improve their sense of themselves.

Graham Borgman (He/him/his)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Our internal and external sources of praise and criticism form complex networks of motivations and self-evaluations. It is a difficult task for many to locate and feel the realistic, innate sources of self-esteem that constitute who you are, buoy your spirits, and provide you with energy for your work and relationships. Self-esteem issues are common and important components of therapy for many.

Kimberly Wilcox, Way of River Psychotherapy

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Issues of self-esteem can be the driver of issues related to relationship with self and others, present as depression or anxiety and come as a result of loss or life transition. We will work directly with the core elements of thoughts, feelings and experiences to tap into those lost or unknown parts of self that are key to your healing. This work can not only give symptom relief, but bring individual and relationship growth and meaning that sustains you throughout life’s journey.

Kelly Reams MSW, BCD Psychoanalyst (She/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Lcsw, bcd

Training in developmental theory and contemporary psychoanalytic theories provide a solid base of information and experience working with the complexities around vulnerabilities of self-esteem. There are different ways these problems manifest and having a broad understanding and flexible therapeutic style helps me meet the patient where they are to strengthen self esteem from the inside out.

Emily Wheeler (She/her)

Hypnotherapist

CHRT, CRM, CH, TLT, NLPC

Low self esteem, worth and care are all symptoms of disconnection — from others, from our surroundings, and crucially, from our own bodies. I'm here to guide you back to a place of connection; to rediscover your innate divinity, ignite your passions, and uncover the values that form the core of who you are. Your journey here begins with braking free from the societal norms that foster disconnection as you lean into re-establishing a deep, harmonious link with your body, mind, nature, and spirit.

Jonathan Joebgen

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

My favorite line in the Desiderata poem (Max Ehrmann, 1927) is: 'Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.' It is a profound and powerful notion that you, as you already are, are valuable and worthy of love and respect. I am committed to helping others to realize and embrace this.

Jordan Curtis (He/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, NCC

Low self-esteem is correlated with depression, anxiety and PTSD. I use mindfulness-based experiential therapy to explore the subconscious mind, and repair the self & psyche through memory reconsolidation and positive experiences. Unlike some other forms of therapy, my methods aim to use neuroplasticity from mindfulness-induced states to rewire the brain and eventually eliminate the need for maintenance therapy. I aim to take you to complete resolution of inner conflict to full self love.

Liz Ortland (she/her)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

It is my strong belief that all humans are worthy of love and connection. Low self esteem is a learned behavior that develops through attachment wounding, traumatic experiences, and societal oppression. Through deep listening and unconditional caring, I help clients to explore the origins of their inner critic, unravel struggles with worthiness, and identify their values. I help to untangle appropriate guilt from unhealthy shame and to re-balance self-acceptance with taking responsibility.

Joey Bloom

Hypnotherapist

Sometimes we hear things about ourselves and without even consciously noticing it, we have heard those things and we now believe it. Through our work together, you will have an opportunity to discover a deeper aspect of you that is solid, strong and highly functional.

Katie Azarow (She/Her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, CADC I

Many mental health issues contain elements of low self-esteem, and many diagnoses can contribute to feelings of low self-esteem. Thus, I investigate and explore issues of self-esteem with every one of my clients. Additionally, working with teenagers has provide hours of work focused solely on exploring self and identifying how individuals interact with the world around them.

Problems with self-esteem touch many people and are at the root of many mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. I believe strengthening self-esteem is at the heart of successful therapy. I will get to know you without judgment and help you cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself so you are empowered to act on your strengths and make the changes you want in life.

Joshua Bogart (He/Him/His)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA

Does your inner critic keep tearing you down, telling you you're not good enough? Low self-esteem can make it hard to connect with others and leave you feeling stuck in a negative self-image. Through therapy, we'll work together to challenge that critical voice and develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with yourself. You don't have to face this alone – let's build a safe space where you can be seen and heard without judgment.

Matthew Beeble (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I enjoy helping individuals increase their self-esteem. It is one of the tasks that I feel the most confident will end with success. Low self-esteem is often about negative self-talk based on faulty beliefs about oneself due to past experience. These beliefs are often powerful and convincing. Therapy is about unmasking these beliefs, stealing their power and creating a new sense of self.

Chelsea Kellogg (she/her/hers)

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT

Improving self esteem and recovering from perfectionism tend to be themes for the clients I work with. I studied research on adaptive vs maladaptive perfectionism for an assignment in graduate school.

Blake Locher (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC

How do we feel like we are enough? It’s a simple idea that’s complex in the real world. I have experience helping clients navigate these murky waters to the source of low self-esteem and begin the healing process. Together we can discover, accept, and celebrate your authentic self while learning how to work with shame, self-criticism, and low confidence.

caroline sabi (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Our sense of self is directly corollated to how much we have felt valued and loved and understood in our lives. It is never too late for reparenting ourselves and my somatic tools are excellent in tapping into earlier attachment styles that were not secure enough to allow a healthy self-esteem to develop.

Melissa Yeary (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC, CHT

Feelings of self-worth depend on the meaning we’ve given our life experiences. Exploring what we've come to believe about ourselves can be an exciting and rewarding journey. I bring a wealth of tools and strategies useful to creating the strong sense of self that underlies positive self-esteem, including creative strategies like journaling and collaging and body-centered tools like mindfulness.

Allison Berl (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, MA

Trained in IFS, CBT, DBT, mindfulness and ACT. I am experienced in counseling for interpersonal effectiveness and boundary setting.

Alex MacLeod (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS, NCC, CRC

From the moment you were born, all the way to the present moment, you've been learning how to treat yourself. Whether you're confused why you can't seem to give yourself a break, or even if you have a pretty good idea of how you got here, there are few wounds more painful than a ceaseless inner critic. In therapy you can find the grounding to step out of alignment with what your critic wants you to believe, and begin to tease apart how the world has treated you from who you really are.

Miranda Bayard-Clark, LPC (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

The dreaded 'shame voice'. We all have it, and lets admit, it gets in the way at times. I work with clients to learn to identify when shame has taken over and now in control, as well as learning to quiet that piece of ourselves and allow us to move forward in life feeling more confident and secure.

Mahalia Lind-Diamond (She/They)

Professional Counselor Associate

Together we can shift unhelpful thought patterns and make space for more compassion.

Rochelle Schwartz

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Self-esteem and confidence affects so many aspects of our lives, from our self image, to work, to relationships, to child rearing, etc. Many of us speak much worse to ourselves than we would tolerate from others, or do unto others. If you would like to be free from this self-torment, and feel more confidence and connected with your true self, I would love to help guide you in this.

Art Chaklader (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, NCC

Congratulations in taking a step towards overcoming the mountain of esteem! You know, that thing that always has something negative to say to you. That thing that limits your courage and holds you back from all the things you want in life. Join me for a consult, and let's take another step toward climbing this mountain.

Susan Gulka (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Identity, compassion, strengths, finding SELF, being heard, discovering values, (re)discovering who you are, women, teens, children, understanding past trauma

Jeff Guenther (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Self-esteem can be a tricky issue to address. There are many things that can be affecting it. I am very proficient at working with clients to explore all possible reasons your self-esteem, self-worth or confidence feels low. If it's situational we will figure out how to move through it and if it's rooted in past experience we will bring it to the surface and learn how to leave it in the past.

Carrie Sturrock (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

Professional Counselor Associate

How do we recapture a deep and solid understanding of our worth and value in this world? Partly, it's about getting to know the myriad parts of ourselves, understanding them and having compassion for the ones we desperately try to avoid.

Majken Elek, MA

Licensed Professional Counselor

Who are you beneath who everyone tells you, you are? Together, we will unfold the layers of negative conditioning and rebuild the authentic self through, thought awareness exercises, values exploration and empowerment visualizations in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Dave Davis

Qualified Mental Health Professional

MA

Sometimes we can develop habits of unrealistically negative views of ourselves and our abilities. This low appraisal of ourselves limits us in all sorts of ways; we don't pursue the things that really matter because we believe we aren't up to the task, we don't ask for what we want in relationships. We can work together to develop a realistic vision of where you are and what you want, and then work on the bravery it takes to push for it.

Christina Sheehan (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC

Shame seems to be baked into our consciousness, as an almost virtuous thing we are told we should feel and work to make up for. But you are not here to prove you are worthy of being a human, you already are. The journey is not to be ‘enough’, but to realize that you are and always have been. We don’t work to fix our ourselves, we work to discover and cherish our true selves, our most authentic selves and our most authentic lives.

Leslie Jones

Licensed Professional Counselor

Many people struggle with some level of self-doubt or a lack of confidence. While not uncommon, it can be very painful to feel you are not good enough, worthy, or too scared to ask for what you need. Through listening, exploring past experiences, and validating what you are going through, you will strengthen the core belief that you are enough.

DeShawn Williams

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

I believe that self-esteem plays a huge role in who we are as individuals and how we see ourselves in this world. Individuals struggling with concerns of their self-esteem will journey together with me to uncover where a self-esteem injury occurred, and evaluate how to move past the injury. Through self inventories and discovery a new you will emerge.

Arah Erickson (she/her/hers)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS, NCC, LPC-A

We all have the innate desire and capacity for growth and change, however, we sometimes get in our own way. Looking at the world through a lens of self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy are a significant stumbling block for many of us. I will support you in gaining insight into the origins of these beliefs you might hold about yourself. Practices of self-awareness and self-compassion are often a central part of tapping into your strengths, and rediscovering your sense of worth.

Gia Buckberg

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Self-esteem issues may arise in all of us at some point in our lives. Many of us come into counseling with negative schemas that we struggle to let go of. These are thoughts we have been battling for years sometimes and my hope is to support my clients to delve deep into these and access their inner strength so that they can tap into their internal joy and be inspired to attain cadence.

Steve Hohenboken, LPC, LAT (he/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Low self esteem can make it hard to believe that you even deserve to feel good, and to have support in getting to a stronger, happier place. Maybe you don't even believe it's possible. I have seen these positive changes happen many times, and I believe it can happen for you, too. I invite you to schedule a meeting to talk about working together to make things better.

Lauren Stines (she/they)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA MCFT

In a society that profits off of our insecurities, it's no wonder so many of us have a hard time loving and accepting ourselves. In addition to cultural influence, our experiences of relational harm and traumas can breed shame and isolation. I believe you are valuable and deserving of care, even if you can't accept that right now. I will hold compassion for you while challenging you to engage in self-acceptance and compassion. It's so hard to hate ourselves into someone that we love.

Vedalia Zellers (she/they)

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, CSWA

Learning to treat ourselves with gentleness and self-compassion can be one of the most powerful outcomes of therapy. I love working with people to improve self-worth and self-esteem, because I know it will serve them well for the rest of their lives, setting the stage for further growth and more vibrant relationships. This work can take many different forms, including unpacking old messages you may have received from your family or society and experimenting with new daily habits.

Erin Carney Moline

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

True Self-esteem comes from facing ourselves and realizing that we are deeply connected to the world around us. We are all here to walk the earth, and finding and discovering your particular way of walking is a life-changing experience.

Amanda Ball (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC

Feelings of not being enough are often at the roots of depression and anxiety. Low self-worth can hold you back from leading the life you want, or pursuing the jobs and relationships you deserve. I use a combination of self-compassion techniques, and mindful exploration of your own intuitive knowing, to elicit and ground in your internal sense of self-worth.

Johanna Courtleigh

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

We come in as joy. Watch any toddler. But over time, we learn shame, inadequacy and comparison. We feel lesser-than, which undermines our sense of self-worth, worthiness and happiness. The mind turns on itself, and we plummet. What we were taught wasn't true! Therapy helps you recover your true self, and reclaim the enjoyment and sense of well-being that is your birthright!

HEATHER MATHEWSON (She/Her/Hers)

Professional Counselor Associate

Masters in Education in School Counseling

Working with middle schoolers, self esteem is a common topic. Helping adolescents discover their inner strengths and how to feel secure within themselves is an important aspect of my practice.

Jessi Huffman (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

In this area I am guided by meditative practices as well as the work of Kristin Neff, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, and many other leaders in the mindful self-compassion realm. If you struggle to feel positively toward yourself or recognize the many strengths you come to the table with, therapy can grant permission to look at the good in ourselves while holding a curious and non-judgemental space for the things we're not so sure about.

Veronica Wilson (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, MSW

We exist in a culture that often does not value us, and our life circumstances can further deepen that feeling that we don't belong. We can work together on navigating your place in this society around us and developing self-compassion. Everyone deserves love and understanding, and that includes you.

Vinnie Gwozdz (He/Him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC, MS

Self-esteem impacts almost every nook and cranny of our lives. Our self-confidence level determines so many things about how we live our lives and therapy can truly help us to build and maintain our sense of self in a world that sometimes seems bent on tearing us down. Everyone has great worth and therapy can be a good way to build that reminder into our cores!

Rachael Patoray (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, ATR

The act of bullying (from others and oneself) seems to be existing at an all-time high. Self-esteem plays a huge role with the culture of bullying, both for 'the bullies' and their victims. Learning how to understand and accept ourselves instead of only comparing ourselves to others, is an important start to decreasing this culture of bullying and low self-esteem.

Kyle Butler

Professional Counselor Associate

I have successfully helped many clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs, develop healthier self-perceptions, and build confidence. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and alter unhelpful thinking patterns.

Vy Pham (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

A lot of folks seek therapy to improve their self-esteem. Oftentimes the concept of low self-esteem actually has a narrative rooted in trauma, attachment, societal expectations, systemic oppression, and capitalism. I aim to help my clients explore the origins of any negative core beliefs they may be carrying, examine their internalization of external factors, and realize their inherent self worth and value.

Sarah Sterling

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC, LMHC

We live in a cultural paradigm that conditions us with all sorts of fear-based, limiting and destructive beliefs. Many of us internalize these fears and beliefs, and are convinced that it is about us- that somehow we are wrong or bad. Let's unlearn this false conditioning and access the truth of our wholeness and organicity.

Suzanne Sanchez (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Low self-esteem can be caused by a wide array of different life experiences. I guide people to identify the different aspects of their lives which have contributed to feeling bad about themselves, and I help them gain a new perspective where they can begin to welcome imperfection and accept self-love.

Jennifer Wohl, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Despite our best efforts, self-esteem is not something that we can 'will' into place. It cannot be bestowed upon us from outside. And it doesn't magically appear when we whisper affirmations to ourselves. Rather, self-esteem develops when we feel genuinely seen and cared about and can begin to practice compassion and forgiveness toward ourselves. Therapy can support this process.

ANDREW HAUCKMANN (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS

Your self-esteem can improve by identifying your strengths, exploring meaning and purpose, and gaining insight through greater self-awareness. The more you know who you are, and why you are, the easier it is to find compassion for yourself and to love yourself fully. I believe it's possible for everyone to experience real self-love and, with encouragement, embrace their whole self.

Jason Wilkinson (He/Him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

MA, MDiv

Low self-esteem is caused by the negative messages we tell ourselves. We will explore these messages to discover what could be the causes, then work to create new neural pathways of what is true about who you are.

Karel Chan

Licensed Professional Counselor

LMHC, LPC

Self-esteem, to me, embodies all of the ways we attend to and treat ourselves: self-love, self-compassion, self-governance. Much of our suffering stems from ways that we, as a survival response to neglect or abandonment when young, have neglected or abandoned our selves. Only by turning toward the forgotten, disconnected self can we come back online with a fully embodied presence and an intact esteem for the whole self.

Chad Ernest, MS, LPC (He/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Licensed Professional Counselor

Self-esteem is the cornerstone to many mental health issues. Depression and anxiety find both their roots in low self-esteem. Being able to feel confident and good about one's self can be challenging, but with my help we can rebuild a positive self-image.

jane Newman

Licensed Professional Counselor

Self esteem (or lack of) is inherent in so many of our lives. My role is to help people identify the fears, beliefs (negative thoughts) that effect one's sense of self; and to help challenge the negative thoughts/beliefs with more accurate 'stories'/ interpretations. The goal is to identify one's negative thoughts of self, and provide skills for the client reconstruct with healthier realities.

Leigh Varley (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

LPCA

I help clients uncover and transform the negative beliefs that hold them back. We explore the underlying sources of their self-doubt, working to rebuild a stronger, more positive sense of self. I guide clients in reconnecting with their body and emotions in a compassionate way, fostering a deeper sense of self-acceptance. By cultivating inner security and self-compassion, I empower clients to recognize their inherent value and embrace a more confident, authentic version of themselves.

Adam Benjamin

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, CHT

A wide-spread problem in our society, the corrosive effects of poor self-worth, and shame in particular, limit our capacity for flexible thinking and the range of choices we perceive in many situations.

Clea Partridge (she/her/hers)

Professional Counselor Associate

Masters of Science in Counseling

Self doubt and questioning are rooted in many of us, and indeed, are part of a functioning capitalist system. What happens when we believe we are enough as we are? I will help you confront this question and explore the roots of esteem issues.

Sophie Bloch Miller (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, MPH

Self esteem is central to our well being and mental health. It is the life boat for survival during challenging times. I will help to identify and believe in your strengths and overcome old patterns of beating yourself up from the inside. I utilize the therapeutic relationship as well as attachment based treatment to increase insight into self and build strong sense of identity and self worth.

Audrianna J. Gurr (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Self Esteem encompasses so many areas of our lives...communication, relating, making plans/goals in our close relationships and in our communities of work, family and play. I am certified in Brene' Brown's curriculum of Shame Resilience to help us sort out the details and live our fuller and happier life.

Lynn Emmons LCSW, LICSW, RN, CADCI (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, LICSW, RN, CADC1

What a person thinks about themselves can hugely impact every aspect of their life. I enjoy helping folks explore where these stories about themselves come from and then write new stories.

Carl Jensen

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC

This can involve practicing greater compassion toward oneself. It can also involve addressing self criticism or that judgemental voice in your head, and/or addressing concerns involving shame and guilt.

Gayle Waitches

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, NCC

We all have within an inner toolbox-reliable and trustworthy resources of self-love and self-regulation. But maybe during life's travails, we've lost connection and access to, or belief in this wellspring of knowing. And yet, we never lose our veritable tool box- we can just get reacquainted.

Caroline Kinsley (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, BC-DMT

Being able to understand and trust oneself is key to feeling confident. Through dance/movement therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, there will be space to strengthen this inner relationship. You will explore how to build the relationship with non-judgment, kindness, and love. We will explore how to make this a strong foundation as life will bring novel and unexpected situations. Therefore, if you do temporarily lose trust in yourself you have skills to kindly return back again and again.

Greta Reitinger (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

We all deserve to feel confident, joyful and whole. Therapy can help unravel the the tangles inside that keep us feeling stuck and small. Let's find out how we can help you stand a little taller, start to find your voice, and believe in your own worth down in the core of your being.

Allison Riegel (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, Professional Counselor Associate

I see each client as a unique, unfolding cosmos, full of potential, beauty, and the ability to heal and grow. Therapy is a place where all of this can be seen, affirmed, nurtured and allowed to become the foundation of a more fulfilled life experience. I support clients in identifying and healing personal wounds and transforming roadblocks, reconnecting to and strengthening their intuition, and developing a sense of deep self-trust, love, and internal support.

Jeremy Jones (They/them)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CADC-II, BC-TMH

Due to the interrelationship between mental health, substance use, and self-esteem-this is a primary objective of my practice to work on improving along with finding stability/control of internal processes.

Ashley Jopling (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, CRC, LPC

I help clients rebuild self-esteem by addressing the root causes of insecurity and self-doubt through deep brain therapies like ART, EMDR, and Brainspotting. My approach focuses on reprocessing negative beliefs and experiences, allowing you to reconnect with your strengths, build confidence, and embrace your true self. Together, we’ll work to transform how you see yourself, empowering you to live with greater self-worth and authenticity.

Ashley Parkinson (she/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, CADC-I

Sometimes, even when we have it "all together on the outside," we secretly harbor feelings of dislike toward ourselves or feel like we are not valuable. Low self-worth often starts in childhood, or begins when someone experiences a harmful relationship or traumatic incidence. I support clients in boosting self-worth by exploring longstanding patterns of thought, feeling and behavior, and through mindfulness practice, boundary-setting, communication skills, and building on natural strengths.
