Everyday, you wake up to a world of new obstacles, stressors, and even disasters, and sometimes it feels like too much to face. A seemingly growing wave of hatred and regression can make any sense of progress or hope feel fleeting and insignificant. The people you love hold on to beliefs that you might see as aligning with this regression. You want to cling to community but the more you learn and develop, the harder these relationships become. You need a safe, therapeutic relationship that accepts you for who you are, where you are, and where you can express your thoughts and feelings without fear of backlash or judgement.

If you've been waiting until you have everything figured out before starting therapy, this is a reminder that most people don't have it all figured out. Life can be complicated, overwhelming, and sometimes downright exhausting. Anxiety shows up uninvited, self-doubt gets loud, relationships become complicated, and life rarely follows the plan we imagined. At some point, many of us find ourselves wondering, "How did I get here?" or "When did things become this hard?" You don't have to do this alone. Together, we'll take the next step forward. Because despite our best efforts, Google doesn't have all the answers.

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.
