When life becomes overwhelmingly difficult, we benefit from having someone to walk beside us, listening and supporting, as we journey through the pain. I have ten years of experience providing a broad range of one-on-one therapy, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction recovery counseling. Within these areas are often other emotional and behavioral issues--ADHD, self-esteem, spirituality, and sexuality. I’m gratified by working with clients from all walks of life and apply an Internal Family Systems approach that focuses on moving clients away from self-medicating and escapism into more productive lifestyles.

Obstacles, barriers, bumps, and other synonyms for negative events that occur in life can leave feelings of despair and emptiness which leads to negative thinking and low self-esteem or self-worth. As wonderful as life is, we experience pain and stress. Amazingly, in most instances, we are able to cope with adverse events and continue enjoying life; however, sometimes, the pain feels too much to bear. Too much to bear alone. Too much to “burden” our families and friends with, or at least that’s how it feels. Talk therapy can provide that safe space for healing and help regain hope.

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.
