I work with individuals, couples and families using a warm, relational, curious and direct approach. I'm particularly passionate about working with individuals and couples who are also parents. As a parent, are you feeling overwhelmed? Isolated? Disconnected from your former identity? I'm a parent myself-I get it. I help folks reconnect to their internal wisdom, fill their cups, and break intergenerational cycles so they can raise children in alignment with their values with more gentleness toward themselves and their kids. I also work effectively with individuals looking to reparent themselves and heal from relational trauma

My name is Rochelle Frehling and I am a licensed Psychologist interested in working with people to learn how to more effectively manage their emotions and have healthier relationships with their selves and others. I am interested in blended family issues, divorce, and parenting using an eclectic approach tailored to your specific needs. Sometimes, because of things we have gone through in our past we learn protective strategies that end up keeping you stuck.

Why do therapy? Why embark on a relationship with someone you don't know, to talk about difficulties or challenges in your life? Sometimes, when we tell family or friends how we are feeling, they react personally or try to explain away our experiences rather than make room for them. I believe that a relationship with a therapist is one in which significant change can take place. The neutral environment of therapy provides space to explore our experiences without worrying about angering, hurting, or upsetting someone else.

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.
