My "ideal" client is between 14 and 99 years old, motivated, able to engage in honest dialogue, and willing to step back and re-evaluate themselves and their lives with fresh eyes, through psychotherapy.

When our personal power is taken—or slowly given away—it creates a void. Many people try to fill that space by losing themselves in relationships, surrendering to others, or turning to habits that no longer serve them. What’s often missing is the ability to feel and honor our emotions fully. Unprocessed experiences tend to repeat until they are understood and integrated. Many men and women have been shamed away from their feelings through family dynamics, culture, or trauma. Reclaiming emotional truth is essential for healing and growth.

Does it seem as though your thoughts have been filled with unstoppable worry and maybe they've even begun to tell you lies that you’re beginning to believe.

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.
