Build a healthier relationship with yourself
Self-esteem is how you see and value yourself. When self-esteem is low, you might constantly criticize yourself, doubt your worth, or feel like you're never good enough. These patterns often develop early in life and can be reinforced by difficult experiences over time.
The good news is that self-esteem can change. Therapy helps you understand where your negative self-beliefs came from, challenge unhelpful patterns, and gradually build a more compassionate and realistic view of yourself.
Low self-esteem shows up in many ways. You might benefit from therapy if you're experiencing:
A harsh inner critic that constantly points out your flaws
Comparing yourself unfavorably to others
Difficulty accepting compliments or dismissing your achievements
Avoiding challenges or opportunities for fear of failure
Putting others' needs first while neglecting your own
Believing you're fundamentally flawed or unworthy
Challenge and reframe negative beliefs about yourself
Learn to treat yourself with kindness
Build identity based on what truly matters to you
You deserve to see yourself clearly and treat yourself with compassion. Schedule a free consultation to learn how therapy can help.
