Break the cycles of negative self-talk and self-judgment that are holding you back from feeling confident in your body, safe in your relationships, and secure in everything you have to offer this world.
“I never feel good enough.”
“I avoid taking risks because I don’t have the confidence.”
“It’s difficult for me to ask for what I need.”
“I constantly second-guess myself.”
“I feel guilty when I put myself first.”
Maybe something big has happened recently — a relationship has ended, a health issue has arisen — that has you doubting yourself and wondering how to move forward. Or maybe you just don’t feel like the life you have is the one you want, like everyone else is somehow one step ahead.
Self-esteem therapy for women is designed to help you explore these questions, assess what’s holding you back, and rebuild your self-esteem by learning to trust yourself and nurturing self-compassion.
What if you could stop comparing yourself to others and doubting that you + your needs actually matter?
You could stop feeling guilty for putting yourself first, stop feeling resentful and taken advantage of. That voice that tells you to be ashamed of your body (the one that keeps you from enjoying food, intimacy, and freedom) could be quieted. You could finally stop making excuses for what you need and feel.
Therapy can help you:
Set healthier boundaries
Increase confidence + assertiveness
Identify and celebrate your strengths
Manage feelings of resentment and frustration
Stop avoiding uncomfortable feelings or new situations
Break cycles of self-doubt and negative self-talk
Feel more confident in intimate relationships
Address body image and emotional eating concerns
Nurture and integrate self-compassion into everyday life
Empowerment & Education
Let’s face it: rebuilding your self-concept can be hard work. But with the right tools + support, it’s possible...and it results in deepening connection with yourself + others, building healthy coping skills, and experiencing more confidence.
If there are tapes playing in your mind, telling you you’re not good enough or keep coming up short, therapy can offer you a way to pause, rewind, and rewrite those scripts. Through our work together, you will not only gain insight, but develop a new language for your needs and experiences that can help you connect more authentically with those around you, too.
You are worth investing in.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Self-esteem is your perception of yourself: your strengths, worth, and abilities. It is shaped by the beliefs we have about ourselves formed by our early experiences, relationships, and internal dialogue.
-
Self-compassion is an ongoing practice of treating yourself with care, kindness, and understanding—just like you would someone you love. Rather than trying to be “perfect” or “fix” yourself, self-compassion encourages you to embrace yourself just the way you are, to know that others may also struggle in similar ways and therefore you are not alone in challenges around self-criticism, and accepting flaws or mistakes without harsh judgment.
-
Self-esteem impacts how we interact with and respond to ourselves, others, and the world around us. When caught in negative thought patterns of self-doubt or self-judgment, your confidence and relationships often suffer as well. This can lead to feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness, which increases the risk of things like depression or anxiety.
However, when you’re able to cultivate a positive self-concept, you show up to life differently. You’re more likely to maintain healthy boundaries, trust your intuition and inherent worth, and embrace, rather than avoid, new or uncomfortable situations.
