Are you struggling with:
- A harsh inner critic or persistent negative self-talk
- Difficulty accepting compliments or recognizing your own strengths
- Basing your worth on achievements, appearance, or others' approval
- People-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries
- Comparing yourself to others and feeling like you fall short
- A pattern of relationships or situations that reinforce feeling not enough
Self-esteem is the overall sense of value and worth we place on ourselves. It is shaped by our upbringing, relationships, culture, and past experiences — including criticism, comparison, or difficult relationships.
Low self-esteem can show up in nearly every area of life — relationships, work, and everyday decision-making — and often contributes to anxiety, depression, and difficulty setting boundaries.
In therapy, we examine where these beliefs came from, gently challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking, and work toward a more grounded, compassionate sense of self-worth — one that isn't dependent on outside validation.
If a harsh inner critic is holding you back, please contact us today. You deserve to feel good about who you are.
