Therapy for self esteem
How do you feel about yourself?
If you struggle to see your own value, you’re not alone. Many people grew up hearing harsh words, flaws, or feeling judged by others. Those people, thoughts, or views don’t define you.
You can learn to separate your own thoughts from the hurtful ones you’ve heard before. And over time, you can start seeing yourself in a kinder, truer light. The way you think and feel about yourself can change.
Knowing your worth
Knowing your value – You deserve respect, love, and happiness.
Low self-esteem can make you question your worth and accept less than you deserve. In therapy, you learn to challenge these limiting beliefs and reconnect with your strengths. With support, you begin to see yourself as capable, deserving, and worthy of healthy relationships and happiness.
Setting boundaries – It’s okay to say no despite the guilt.
Struggling with self-esteem often leads to people-pleasing and difficulty saying “no.” Therapy helps you understand why boundaries feel uncomfortable and teaches you how to express your needs with confidence. As you grow, saying “no” becomes a powerful act of self-respect, not something to feel guilty about.
Putting yourself first – Your needs matter just as much as anyone else’s.
Many people with low self-esteem put others first while ignoring their own needs. In therapy, you learn to identify what you truly need and prioritize your well-being without shame. This leads to healthier choices, stronger confidence, and relationships that feel more balanced.
Being kind to yourself – Treat yourself with the same compassion you’d give a friend.
Negative self-talk and perfectionism can make it hard to feel good about yourself. Therapy helps you develop a more compassionate inner voice and replace self-criticism with understanding. Over time, you learn to treat yourself with patience, care, and genuine kindness—key ingredients for lasting self-esteem.
