I believe counseling can facilitate learning how to deeply heal from what has wounded us, and what may still be hurting us. Dr. Steven C. Hayes suggests “we hurt where we care and care where we hurt”. Paradoxically, pain is often deeply connected to the values of the heart. Therapy is often re-connecting or discovering our own values – qualities of being and doing – is an ongoing process of implementing larger and larger values-based patterns through trial and error.

You’re exhausted. There’s no end to your “to-do” list, and anxiety begins creeping in. You’re completely paralyzed by procrastination while the smallest decisions immobilize you. You feel like you’re failing in all areas of your life. You try to keep a smile on your face that says, “I’ve got it this,” but it’s fading. You can’t wait to get home where you don’t need to pretend. The depression takes over, and all you want to do is hide from the world. It’s a cycle from which you can’t escape. You’re stuck, but your mind is racing. Nothing is enjoyable anymore. Stop the cycle of isolation. It’s time for some help.

The worry, anxiety, and fear of the future is always there, gnawing at you. You are not sure where to turn or how to make it stop. You long for the days when life was more simple and you were lighter on your feet, even excited, curious, and adventurous. You are ready to make changes and breath in new life and have hope again.

When a person sits on my couch and says, "I'm ready to change," I often respond with, "I'm ready to help." Change is difficult. It takes work. But it happens. Giving time and space to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can give you a toolkit to adapt memories of the past and craft the future you've always wanted. Sometimes I think the job of a psychologist is to reduce suffering from mental illness, but more and more it's helping people thrive amidst adversity; to flourish in their life. If you want to reduce the anxiety and stress of the people closest to you, you need to thrive. You need to succeed. And I'm here to help.

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.
