Self Esteem Therapists in Calgary, AB
I am passionate about working with adult individuals who struggle with PTSD and trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, co-dependency, stress management, and relationship issues. Generally, my clients are functioning quite well in their day-to-day lives, but negative thought patterns and behaviours (which may have served them in the past, but no longer are) tend to get in the way of their ability to cope with work, relationships, etc.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to navigate a world that wasn’t designed for your unique way of thinking. Maybe you’re discovering the complexities and strengths of neurodivergence, or you’re in the midst of a major life shift that’s challenging your sense of self. Anxiety, burnout, and self-doubt might be making it difficult to connect authentically with yourself and the people you care about. Deep down, you crave clarity, emotional ease, and the freedom to build relationships and a life that genuinely align with who you are.

You want to understand yourself, act in ways that bring you closer to your goals, and live a meaningful life.

Are you open to new possibilities? In order to understand who you want to be, you have to know who you are first. Gain insight and awareness into your situation, and learn to extract the lessons from your past struggles to develop new ways of coping and managing the challenges in your life. From early on, people learn behaviors to protect themselves for survival — but what worked in the past may no longer be helpful today. When basic human needs aren’t met, the outcome is often depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, or even addiction.

People who have experienced traumatic events in their lives commonly share that they feel like they are stuck in their symptoms and are fearful this will never change. Many have done therapy before and learned helpful tools and skills, but deep down don't feel the ease they seek. I want to share that it is possible to move through trauma and the symptoms that tend to result from it, such as anxiety and panic, depression, attachment issues (which often look like problematic patterns in relationships), self-esteem difficulties, and many more.

I acknowledge that the path to healing can be, at the best of times, uncomfortable and commend your courage in taking the first step. I believe that by getting to know our inner conflict through the willingness and permission to let it bubble to the surface, the emotions that once hindered us may become the same emotions that set us free.

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.
