Many of my clients come to therapy because they know life has more to offer. Perhaps they would like to have more self-confidence, improved relationships, a greater sense of purpose, or an overall state of contentment and joy. Sometimes these realities feel out of reach. They may lack the knowledge or tools to reach their goals or perhaps they are not sure where to begin. There may be habits or ways of coping that sabotage or derail their progress. As your therapist I will be your guide and companion on your journey to overcome these challenges.

You’re a people pleaser who wants to have healthy relationships and stop feeling so worn down and stretched thin all the time. Perhaps you’ve been striving to make sense of life in the midst of trauma, betrayal, relationship struggles, divorce, empty-nesting, or job changes and you feel like you’re drowning. Sometimes, you can’t shake the feeling you’re a failure. Your creativity is stifled, your energy is gone, you feel lost, you don't know who you are anymore, and your faith may be shaken. You just want to feel confident and capable and safe again, no matter what life brings you.

People come to counseling for many reasons. Maybe it's stress from a difficult job, or a tumultuous marriage. Maybe it's the adjustment to parenthood or the loss of a precious loved one. Maybe we have always felt a little empty inside and realize that we would like to feel a little better about ourselves or about the life that we have created. Sometimes, we are stuck and overwhelmed and we don't even know why. We just want more out of life and we don't know where to begin. In any case, counseling offers a unique opportunity to have a safe space to explore and talk about the things that mean the most to us.

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.
