Accepting new clients! Many of the people I work with come to therapy because they’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or their values. They want to start a new chapter feeling more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives. My clients are often teens, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, or the weight of current life transitions. They want to slow things down, make sense of what’s really going on beneath the surface, and build tools that match who they are.

I work with grief, identity, and self-worth, and I invite clients to bring their spirituality into therapy when it feels meaningful to them.

At Desta Therapy, LLC, I provide compassionate support for individuals navigating grief, anxiety, depression, questions of identity or spirituality, or adjusting to significant life transitions.

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.
