Self Esteem Therapists in San Jose, CA

Charles’ passion is psychological healing and growth. He believes everyone has the innate potential to live full, satisfying and self-actualizing lives with hope, joy, and meaning. He wishes to facilitate change and growth in an open, safe, non-judgmental atmosphere wherein compassion and authenticity will provide the necessary impetus for growth and a sense of wholeness.

I am an Associate Marriage Family Therapist and am passionate about helping teens, young adults, and parents learn how to work through the inevitable difficulties that come with this unique stage of life. The majority of my practice focuses on individual work related to identification of key issues/concerns, development of trust and safety, increasing levels of self-awareness, and growth and healing through positive communication. My approach is warm, non-judgemental and client centered, with an emphasis on connection.

If you are struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, or invisible wounds, therapy can help. I specialize in addressing these areas with EMDR. Together we can work toward finding more peace in your inner world to increase your capacity to relax, connect, and enjoy yourself and your life. If you are seeking therapy for your child or teen struggling with their emotions or self esteem, I can work with them to navigate their feelings in a healthy way and collaborate with you on how you can support your child with their unique needs.

Having difficulty managing life stressors such as work, relationships, self-esteem, or just life in general? It would be more shocking if we were handling all the stressors and triggers of our current world without the need for the support of others. I find it a privilege to work with adolescents and adults during times in everyone's lives in we need a little more care and compassion. My approach to therapy is primarily humanistic, incorporating attachment theory, narrative therapy, solution-focused and family systems work in working through issues that ultimately lead will us toward growth and healthy transitions.

Relationship issues? Do you suffer from anxiety? Does low self-esteem get in the way for you of having the life you really want? Maybe you are seeking insight into why you can't let go of past events that have impacted you. I can help. I believe strongly in the idea that everyone has the ability to heal themselves and at times may need additional support or guidance along the way. At the core of my therapeutic style, is the belief that a foundation of mindfulness and cultivating a healthy relationship to self is where healing and wholeness begin.

I am here to listen to you. I work with children, teens, and adults to support exploration of difficult issues and life changes. Often what brings someone to seek counseling, either for themselves or for their child, is being faced with a challenge they need support navigating and resolving. This issue may result from an atypical experience or be more pervasive, and can bring about feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, or communication issues. Taking the risk to ask for help is the first step on the road toward healing and growth.

We all want to be happy, belong, and feel loved. Yet at some point in our lives we struggle, get bogged down, and feel stuck. Getting support can help you understand what is going on, and help you discover new ways of thinking about yourself and your relationships. My goal is to help bridge the gap of where you currently are and where you want to be. I see my role as empowering you to create meaningful changes in your life while honoring your unique healing journey.

Hello! Welcome to the private practice of Albert Pignataro, MFT. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (MFC 53486) practicing in Willow Glen, San Jose. I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy to adults, youth and families in individual therapy, couples counseling, and group therapy. Clinically, I focus on therapy for men and related issues, therapy for the LGBTQ+ community, and therapy for adult individuals and couples for anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Welcome- you have already taken the first step in wanting change. The next step is to schedule an initial call to see if it feels like a good fit. It all starts with us connecting, to have a chat. The therapeutic relationship is so important in feeling safe, supported and motivated in your work. We work as a team to help you feel better, about yourself and your life. With a calm, genuine, approachable nature, I offer an experience where individuals feel supported and encouraged in growth. I specialize in anxiety- panic, stress, perfectionism/high expectations, OCD, anxious-avoidance, depression, self-esteem, and work/life balance.

Looking for deeper healing and not just symptom relief (although that is also important)? Can't relax, are too irritable, or find yourself bursting into uncontrollable tears at times? Want to overcome traumatic or adverse experiences? To improve self-esteem and relationships? To feel lighter (not be weighed down by past experiences)? Learn to change your patterns & emotional triggers, and transform your responses to hindering situations. You'll gain skills to be more grounded, less reactive, and can start to improve your mood, well being, and relationships.

Congratulations on taking the courageous step to begin therapy. As we all know, life can be challenging and demanding at times. This may lead us to feeling sad, angry, hopeless or confused. We may feel stuck and not know how to move forward; which can be a very lonely and scary place to be as well. However, you are not alone and healing is possible! My role as a therapist is to provide a safe place and offer warmth and empathy throughout this collaborative process, in order to help you in exploring your thoughts and feelings, as well as guide you in developing insight and identifying skills to achieve the thriving life you deserve.

My name is Erika Prigo; I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (139621). I believe that all people deserve nothing but the best quality of life that is possible. They should be allowed to complete their tasks every day with full ease and satisfaction. It is quite easy to take all of these tasks for granted, not taking into consideration existential problems that present themselves regardless of age. I use a combination of treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, to find the best fit for you.

This space can help you find the life you want, discover your true strengths, and build up the resilience you deserve!

My focus is on easing your stress, worries, and challenges that you are facing. Together we will work on finding better ways to communicate at home and at work. I am offering tele-therapy through video and/or phone to all who want to be seen.I enjoy working with couples and individuals. When dealing with negative thoughts, I work on finding more coping thoughts, while using different approaches, such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), and family systems. With couples I often use EFT (emotional focus therapy). My therapy style is nurturing and empowering. Your happiness is my first priority!

I believe we’re all doing the best we can with the tools and experiences life has given us. I help clients find relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties (couples/relational work), traumas (emotional and/or physical) and low self-esteem. Providing a therapy experience that is free of judgment or shame and having client's feel heard and understood is my priority - this is especially important in my work with couples.
