Self Esteem Therapists in Collingswood, NJ
I don't have evening hours - My work combines psychoanalytic/depth psychology/dream work/internal family systems therapy along with helping people learn how to listen to the unique and creative way in which our body carries wisdom, information and unprocessed experiences. It is important for us to tell the story of what has happened to us and to have our stories held in a compassionate manner. If we already know our story and find ourselves still stuck in old behaviors, thoughts and patterns, then learning to listen and experience how our bodies hold meaning for what's still unresolved or unknown is a valuable skill.

I work with anxiety-related disorders, relationship anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, and challenges with attachment.
Do you find yourself overthinking every conversation, worrying about what others think of you, or fearing that the people will leave? Maybe anxiety keeps you stuck in cycles of doubt, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance. You may struggle with trusting yourself, setting boundaries, or feeling secure in relationships. If you feel exhausted by your own thoughts or find yourself repeating patterns you don't understand, therapy can help you move toward a more confident, grounded version of yourself.

I support clients struggling with self-esteem, self-worth, and relationship challenges by offering a nonjudgmental space to build insight, coping skills, and emotional resilience—helping you feel more confident, grounded, and connected to yourself and others, creating change
Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected- either from yourself, your partner, or the life you want? You may be managing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or substance use concerns and wondering how to make real, lasting change. Even when things look "okay" on the outside, it can feel so confusing and discouraging to carry so much internally. You don't have to navigate this alone.

I'm a fierce supporter of anxious, exhausted helpers who hold space for others professionally or personally. Maybe you hustle in non-profit, the medical field, education, social services, or creative spaces. Or, you're the emotional shock-absorber in your family or friend group. If you're the "strong one" everyone leans on ... drowning in the loneliness of self-help ... in a chokehold of self-sacrifice while your peace shrinks by the day ... wanna flip a table when you hear “set boundaries" or “just say no” ... Then yeah. We should talk. Because — you're my people.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my profile.

In our work together, I prioritize collaboration, transparency, humor, and curiosity to help bring more awareness to the patterns in your life that may be blocking you from pursuing or accomplishing personal or professional goals.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
