My name is Tess with Therapy Central Dallas and I am accepting new clients online and in person. My office has big beautiful widows, soft lighting, and comfy couches. I love embarking on a mindful journey of self discovery with my clients. Maybe you have been through the ringer, and you’re ready to unpack all the chaos that has happened to you. Or perhaps you’ve reached a point where something’s gotta give, and you need a big change. Or, like most of us, you just need a safe space to let it all out. I enjoy providing long term therapy services to clients as they navigate their new path.

Are you suffering from Depression or Anxiety? Are you feeling the effects of a everyday stress? Have you been told that you have anger issues and need to speak to someone about it? Are you struggling with self-esteem and self-worth? Sometimes life can become very difficult and even discouraging, but you do not have to face these challenges alone. I believe that therapy is a place in which we can heal from our past and begin to build a brighter future.

There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."

Hello. In my 15 years of experience of treating clients, I have learned that change does not come over night. If we were to be honest with ourselves, most of us are at some degree, a little uncomfortable with change. I understand the challenges associated with change. Often, we must weigh the benefit to risk ratio when assessing our lives to determine what is best. Making the behavioral and emotional change in our lives that lead us to healthier versions of ourselves is easier said than done! I am dedicated to helping others to make the transitional changes that lead them to healthier versions of themselves.

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.
