You weren’t born doubting yourself. Somewhere along the way, you learned to question your worth.
Maybe it shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or constantly second-guessing your choices. Maybe you feel stuck in your head—restless, irritable, or withdrawn—and you wonder “Why can’t I just feel confident like everyone else seems to?” Living with low self-esteem is more than just feeling insecure. It can shape the way you show up in relationships, at work, and in your body. It’s exhausting to keep performing, shrinking, or holding it all together while quietly battling self-doubt.
Therapy For Self Esteem
What Low Self Esteem Can Look Like
You might be struggling with low self-esteem if you notice yourself:
Always second-guessing how you came across or what others might be thinking about you
Feeling tense or restless, even when your body is begging for rest
Getting overwhelmed by everyday decisions, big or small
Having a hard time staying present—joy feels fleeting, or out of reach
Replaying conversations, emails, or texts in your head on a loop
Noticing physical signs of stress like stomach pain, muscle tightness, or a racing heart
Do you feel stuck in self-doubt, always questioning if you’re good enough?
You might look like you have it all together on the outside—but inside, you feel overwhelmed, depleted, and disconnected from who you really are.
Constantly overthinking, worrying if you said the right thing, or comparing yourself to everyone around you. Maybe the pressure to be perfect is so loud that rest feels impossible—and self-compassion feels out of reach.
Do you find yourself being your own harshest critic—never quite measuring up, no matter how hard you try?
If it feels like your self-worth is constantly under pressure, you’re not imagining it.
We live in a world that demands perfection, performance, and constant self-improvement—with very little space to feel safe, human, or enough just as you are.
Between comparison culture, unstable world events, and social messaging that tells you to do more and be better (but never rest), it’s no wonder your confidence feels fragile or hard to find.
Many are navigating:
A constant fear of failure—or being seen as a failure
The pressure to have it all together, all the time
A need to prove our worth through success, appearance, or productivity
Social media highlight reels that trigger comparison and self-doubt
Political and economic instability that makes the future feel unsteady
A deep lack of rest, connection, and space to simply be
Therapy offers you a space to unlearn those stories, reconnect with your inner voice, and build self-trust from the inside out.
You don’t need to become someone else to feel worthy. You just need room to become more fully yourself.

What To Expect In Therapy
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable—especially when anxiety is already making you second-guess everything. If you're wondering what it’s actually like, here’s what you can expect:
A Space That’s Just for You
Therapy is your time. You don’t have to perform, have the “right” words, or explain everything perfectly. You’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and zero judgment.
A Collaborative Approach
We’ll work together to explore what’s going on beneath the surface of your anxiety—where it comes from, how it’s affecting you, and what tools and strategies can help. You set the pace, and you’re always in control of your process.
Practical Tools You Can Actually Use
Yes, we’ll talk about your feelings—but we’ll also build skills. You’ll learn techniques to help calm your nervous system, challenge anxious thoughts, set boundaries, and respond more gently to yourself. You’re not “too self aware”. We incorporate both bottom up and top down therapy techniques to help get you out of your head and create real change.
Room for the Big Stuff and the Everyday Stuff
Some sessions may involve untangling long-held beliefs or past experiences. Others might focus on managing your week, preparing for a difficult conversation, or figuring out why you couldn’t sleep last night. It all matters.
Progress That’s Not Always Linear—but Always Possible
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, more empowered, and more like you. Growth may not happen in a straight line, but over time, you’ll notice shifts—more ease, more clarity, and more self-trust.
