I believe that we all have inner strengths which can be used to achieve personal goals. My focus as a therapist is to establish a trusting, empathic, connection with clients through which they feel listened to, respected and understood. Together we explore patterns, thoughts, feelings, behaviors which interfere with growth and change. Within a safe, confidential,interactive environment, inner capabilities are released and more effective options discovered.

Let's be honest, things have been stressful lately! And even though you know everyone is going through it, it doesn't bring you much comfort and you may even feel like you are alone with this. You may have already had a lot going on before things changed and now you have that and this compounded together. The weight of it all can get pretty heavy at times and you are trying to be the best you can with everyone around you. You put on your best straight-face and a smile but worry that you're one moment away from losing it. Imagine how great it will feel to let all that go and feel more in control and confident!

If you’re reading this, your child is likely facing significant challenges. Are they worrying, acting out, highly emotional, maybe hyperactive or inattentive? Their struggles are affecting their happiness, leaving you feeling anxious and unsure. Understanding and managing childhood behaviors can be tough. Navigating the teenage years adds another layer of complexity. Emotional outbursts can create conflict making you feel helpless. Teens retreat to their room, shut down; raising worries about their well-being. Their grades may be slipping, socially they seem lost, little self esteem; leaving you puzzled about these rapid changes.

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.
