Struggling with RSD? Anxiety? Overstimulation? Procrastination? Depression? Motivation? Hey, me too! Being an adult is tough and I still catch myself looking for the "adultiest" adult in the room, only to find it's me! Let's talk about it and figure out a plan together. Your therapist should respect your autonomy, ask questions instead of making assumptions, and challenge you to look deeper and make connections. Let's build up your self-esteem, help you feel better in social situations, minimize your anxiety, learn how to communicate and set boundaries, deal with past trauma, or just enjoy life!

As much as it stresses you out, you don't want to give up doing all that you do, because it gives you life and makes you feel proud of yourself. You know that people need you, because your hard work keeps everything running. Yet, it's not working anymore. You don't want to have to work so hard just to feel that you are enough.

When life seems uncertain and out of control, anxiety and depression may not seem like a choice. Anxiety, depression, and relational strife can lead to physical symptoms of low energy, agitation, headaches, stomach aches, dizziness, and racing thoughts that destroy our connections and concentration, keeping us focused on the worst case scenario, and not on what we have to accomplish in this moment and day.

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.
