I specialize in using CBT and solution-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, & gender and identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic and self-limiting patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe & regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, & learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation & grounding.

Hi! My name is Jillian Hollmann and I’m a therapist based in New York. My areas of expertise include depression, social anxiety, self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. Rather than focus on problems, I point people in the direction of discovering and using their strengths to build the more satisfying life that they want. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck. You may be anxious about leaving a steady job to explore a creative passion, or whether to stay in a relationship. You might feel so depressed that you can’t motivate to do almost anything.

Do you want to change how you feel, your habits, or how you interact with others? You deserve a therapist who will listen with empathy and offer insight without judgment, someone who will help you figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it. This may require examining your perceptions, your interactions, and even your history. Evidence-based techniques and coping mechanisms may also be helpful.

Welcome! I'm Natalie, a psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults who are navigating relationships, dealing with self-esteem issues, and are searching for more meaning in their lives. I work well with young, creative professionals who are eager to learn about themselves, address undesired patterns, and who are looking for support in piecing things together. While anxiety, depression and relational conflicts are very common, it doesn't make them any easier to navigate. Understanding the root cause of these issues can help us find relief from symptoms and help us build a foundation of compassion and understanding.

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.
