Self-Esteem

Support for quieting self-criticism and building confidence, self-worth, and healthy boundaries.

Overview

Low self-esteem can show up as harsh self-criticism, constant comparison, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Over time, it can contribute to anxiety, depression, and strained relationships.

Building self-esteem is not about pretending to feel confident. It is about understanding where your beliefs about yourself came from and learning new, kinder ways of relating to yourself.

Does this sound familiar?

  • A harsh inner critic or constant self-doubt
  • Difficulty saying no or setting boundaries
  • Comparing yourself unfavorably with others
  • Fear of failure, rejection, or judgment
  • Discounting compliments or accomplishments

How we can help

  • Supportive psychotherapy drawing on CBT and self-compassion approaches
  • Identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs
  • Practicing assertive communication and healthy boundaries
  • Treatment of related anxiety or depression when present
