I have been a therapist for over 20 years and I find psychotherapy an exciting field, particularly with motivated clients like yourself. I approach each new client with a clean slate as your experiences are unique and your deserve a individualized approach tailored to your needs. When you contact me, I will ask you a few questions to make sure the clinical relationship is the right one for you and of course you will have questions of your own. Making the decision to begin or continue is a sign of strength and a willingness to grow.

For my ideal patient, issues pertaining to depression, anxiety, hopelessness, low self esteem, negative/low mindset, lack of self confidence as well as unwillingness to learn/be teachable are some factors that militates against an individual's progress. These identified issues often result to certain needs such as undesired behavior, self pity expectation, avoidance, searching to fill an empty void within, need of wanting to belong and be accepted etc. Based on these presenting problems, I hope to see my clients begin to believe in "A reset in life "

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.
