Self Esteem Counseling Services

Having a healthy self-esteem does not make you conceited or egotistical; instead, it means you are able to recognize yourself as the entire, complex being you are.

Images and messages about beauty, gender roles, values, and overall “norms” are everywhere! The barrage of messages can make it difficult to feel confident.

Having a healthy self-esteem can have a dramatic, positive impact on your life.

When you have a healthy self-esteem, you are more resilient to stress and less likely to personalize difficulties or set-backs. Instead, you recognize that life is difficult, and things do not always go as planned. But that does not mean that you are the cause for the issue. Having a healthy self-esteem allows you to take a realistic appraisal of the situation and recognize yourself as a change agent.

Experiencing low self-esteem is something most people experience at some point in their lives.

Low self-esteem often manifests in a degrading way whereby you cannot realistically see all that you have to offer. Instead, your negativity toward yourself may make you feel unworthy, unlovable, useless. While we all have faults, this is not the sum of who you are! Prolonged or excessively negative thoughts can lead to mental health and physical conditions.

Imperfect = I’m Perfect

Using a strength-based approach, we will partner with you to form healthy, realistic self-esteem:

  • Restoring balance and setting intentions for personal growth.
  • Protecting your independence, resilience, and ability to make choices for your overall well being.
  • Exploring challenging or painful experiences so you can move forward with a sense of hopefulness.
  • Empowering you to develop your voice and explore social, educational, and career opportunities and goals.
  • Allowing space to explore what you are feeling while working toward a place of acceptance.
  • Developing a positive self-concept to contribute to resiliency.
What to expect from counseling for self esteem

We create a unique counseling process that is tailored to each person’s strengths and experiences.

Counseling is meant to be a time of self-exploration and growth. Your clinician will tailor treatment to your specific needs based on your goals and what you would like to achieve. Counseling has the potential to be short-term or long-term based on your individual needs.

Sustained progress can be made in as few as 8 weekly sessions, but most people find that they need treatment for a minimum of several months. We encourage you to attend weekly sessions, as this allows you to establish a close working relationship with your clinician and to make progress more quickly. Our hope is for you to reach your goals sooner rather than later so that you can live the life you desire.

It is time to embrace who you are!
