Self Esteem Therapists in Boston, MA

Hello there! My name is Smarthine and I am a Haitian American female, passionate about providing mental health care to marginalized communities. My previous experience includes working with individuals across the life span including children, adolescents, and adults in both educational and outpatient settings. My interests include working with clients from diverse backgrounds, who are facing challenges with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, identity development, family conflict, and parenting issues.

Are you ready to make a change in your life but want the support to do so? As a therapist I offer a space for you to pinpoint your hopes and goals, expand your understanding of your values, and ultimately take your power back from the problems that try to control you. I believe that you are the expert on your life and would love to join you on your journey to self-trust and growth. I work with individuals and couples with an integrative, individualized, and strength-based approach. Together I hope to create a curious, collaborative, and non-judgmental space to help you feel valued and supported in your journey.

I help stressed out professional women who feel undervalued at work and unappreciated at home regain their enthusiasm for life. Despite having achieved "success", they are anxious and hopeless, and their accomplishments feel meaningless. When they first come to therapy, their self-esteem is at rock bottom and they feel misunderstood by friends and family. They have found themselves managing the emotional load of all household and family tasks on top of their highly responsible careers, and feel STUCK. Others tell them they should be grateful, which makes them feel worse. They barely recognize their former selves in the mirror.

Hello there! I'm Catherine, a Mental Health Therapist at The Community Clinic. I enjoy working with diverse communities, and specialize in helping those seeking to heal from anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, poor body image and disordered eating. I help my clients understand that therapy is a personal process, and emphasize the importance of honoring your own pace and boundaries. Pushing yourself too hard or rushing the healing process may be counterproductive. My work involves providing guidance and support, so you can learn to give yourself permission to take breaks, reinforce boundaries, and prioritize self-care.

Ideally, I would like to support my clients who seek help for managing stress and anxiety, building self-confidence, and improving interpersonal relationships. They want to regain control, find inner peace, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

My aim is to provide a supportive and safe environment for addressing issues, such as managing emotional symptoms, dealing with life stress, or experiencing inner struggles or relationship problems. With an empathetic and engaged approach, my goal is to help you feel better and more fulfilled. I work primarily with adults and adolescents. My approach is eclectic, which means sometimes helping people to make changes in behavior and ways of coping and sometimes helping people to better understand their feelings and resolve past experiences by exploring their personal meanings. Overall, I strive to meet each person's unique needs from therapy.

Joy. Self-Esteem. Confidence. Fulfillment. Do you ever feel as if something is missing in your Life––either as an individual or couple? If so, let’s join together and find the missing pieces. As a Team, we’ll take an objective look at your Life and your desires. Then we’ll put together a personal Action Plan that will show the way to a more complete and happier You! The possibilities are endless once you take the first step!

My goal is to offer a healing place for adult clients to gain the confidence and tools that they need to feel empowered, transform suffering, reduce problematic symptoms and develop self-awareness and mindfulness.

In working together, I strive to move you towards a valued, meaningful life while decreasing suffering. I use a flexible blend of evidence-based treatments tailored to your personal needs, incorporating aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and exposure therapy. I bring an open, curious, and nonjudgmental stance to sessions, and am both compassionate and direct in my approach. I am a clinical psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, where I am the Clinical Director of Brain Health Services at Home Base, and an Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Talk with me – about feeling weighted down and “heavy” – about struggling with feeling out of sorts all the time, about difficulties in relationships, and becoming quick to anger. Inner conflict, confusion, and uncertainty are some of the hardest spaces to live in as they create fear. We all need support guidance, and encouragement to help navigate what feels hopeless. Let's work together toward establishing a sense of safety and security within yourself. Exploring destress tolerance techniques and creating a balance that allows you to be exactly where you are in this moment – I am a “real person” and a great listener.

Under the pressures of today’s world, achieving life satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing can feel more difficult than ever. My goal is to help clients flourish in the face of life’s challenges. I am skilled in helping clients work through stress, anxiety, life adjustment issues, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I am especially interested in helping with issues related to sexual orientation, identity exploration, sex and sexual functioning, and coping with stigma (e.g., racism, heterosexism, sexism, classism). Working with LGBTQ+ clients, college students, and young professionals is especially rewarding to me.

I provide a warm, judgment-free healing atmosphere for clients that focuses on support and growth. In addition to my training in evidence-based therapies, I also utilize an intuitive counseling approach. I work with clients that are seeking to resolve issues related to childhood trauma, self esteem, depression, anxiety, and bullying. Untreated stress and trauma can manifest in the body as depression and anxiety, but also chronic health issues like back pain, autoimmune disease, headaches, acid reflux, etc... I am an experienced counselor licensed in the states of Massachusetts and Virginia.

I practice psychotherapy remotely via video sessions with clients located anywhere in Massachusetts. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of individuals experiencing a broad range of mental health and interpersonal challenges. My specialties include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, adjusting to life changes, and difficulty with decision-making around choices, large and small. Note: I do not accept insurance, and am considered an out-of-network provider.

I find that most people who come to my office are in distress, and they want to feel better. First we try to ease the distress; then we try to understand more about what is causing it. Few things help more in this process than a relationship with a trusted and helpful advisor. Problems such as anxiety, loss, depression, poor self esteem, and difficulty in complex relationships can be solved given the right mix of time, talk, and support. Most people I see are grateful for the relief and valuable insight they gain into their own situations.

Have you ever felt consumed by worry, anxiousness or a need to have it all figured out? Hoping for more balance while dealing with life's challenges? Or maybe you just need someone to vent to? I utilize a collaborative approach, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to be able to openly express themselves and work through challenges that may be interfering with them reaching their goals. Therapy gives us the opportunity to be curious about who we are and empowers us to choose our future. If you curios about what therapy has to offer, I encourage you to reach out!

Hi there! Are you seeking genuine, straightforward guidance and effective coping strategies enriched by personal experience and practical application? You’ve come to the right place! I specialize in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy). In addition to trauma, EMDR is effective in treatment of phobias, low self esteem, pain management, eating disorders, and performance anxiety. I love supporting my fellow ADHDers and those with chronic illness. Sessions are focused on reducing self-judgment and internalized stigma while finding ways for your environment to work for you.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I work to create an environment where you can explore and relate to yourself and your experiences in new ways, process your past and present, build new tools, and enable a reimagined and empowered life. I am an LGBTQIA-affirming, anti-oppressive, inclusive, and social justice-oriented therapist who recognizes the diversity and uniqueness of all people. I am clinically licensed in both NY and MA!
