Self Esteem Therapists in Ranchos de Taos, NM
Therapy is like tutoring, a little help to get through a stuck point, to polish up things, and then move on. We will look at what's not right and plan for something better, an updated plan. My clients appreciate that they aren't doomed & they aren't damaged, they just need an upgrade that matches where they are now.
I also I supervise newly graduated therapists in Texas (LPC & LMFT) and New Mexico (LMHC) and teach them these skills.

Everyone needs support from time to time!
I specialize in trauma focused therapies including EMDR which is an amazing tool that can be used to target a variety of issues including: trauma, stress, recurring nightmares, chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. Clients consistently report substantial reductions in symptoms. Clients also report that they are able to more effectively communicate, are better able to place appropriate boundaries, and are better able to engage in trusting and loving relationships. EMDR helps you to feel peaceful in your own body by reducing those fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses.

Are you navigating grief, stress, identity challenges, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, self-esteem doubts, or major life transitions while trying to hold everything together?
I help clients by creating a supportive, trauma-informed space where deeper emotional work can happen at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Using integrative approaches such as EMDR, parts-based work, creative arts and practical coping strategies to calm the nervous system, strengthen emotional regulation, and gently shift patterns that no longer serve.

In today's stressful times, anxiety and hopelessness have become the norm rather than the exception. Having a place to safely explore mixed emotions and complicated grief can be invaluable. At Heart Talk counseling, each person's unique story is honored. I use holistic and experientially oriented approaches to attend to mental physical and spiritual components of struggles. These techniques help patients uncover courage while maneuvering through difficult terrain.

I believe therapy is a place where you can show up just as you are — to be seen, heard, and understood. When you feel safe enough to explore even the darker or more difficult places within, real change can happen. Many people seek therapy during times of transition or when they feel a deeper calling for growth and healing. Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, breathe, and share your story without judgment. It’s a chance to uncover patterns that may no longer serve you and discover new ways to move forward with greater ease.

I focus on adults of all ages who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss as well as those trying to understand relationships and the events that have shaped them. I hope to provide a safe environment in which to develop and explore insights that will encourage and enable growth and well-being. I will endeavor to help identify motivations, desires and personal ethics and the facility to express them. My frame of reference is largely psychodynamic (meaning that the unconscious mind affects conscious feelings, thoughts and behavior) but may draw from other orientations when suitable.

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.
