What Is Low Self-Esteem?
Low self-esteem isn’t just a fleeting feeling of insecurity; it’s a pervasive sense of unworthiness that colors every aspect of your life. It’s the voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough, smart enough, or worthy of love. It’s the fear of failure that keeps you playing small and the constant need for external validation to fill the void within. But here’s the truth: your worth isn’t determined by your achievements, appearance, or the opinions of others. You are inherently valuable, just as you are.
What Causes Low Self-Esteem?
Low self-esteem can stem from various factors, each contributing to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Here are some common reasons behind low self-esteem:
- Whether it’s being overlooked for a promotion, facing hurtful comments, or enduring bullying, these experiences can leave lasting emotional scars.
- In today’s world of social media, constantly comparing yourself to others’ highlight reels, such as their vacations or career successes, can really amplify feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.
- Upbringing and familial relationships play a significant role, as parental attitudes, family dynamics, and childhood traumas can leave lasting imprints on one’s self-image.
Understanding the root causes of low self-esteem is the first step towards addressing and overcoming it. Through therapy, we can explore these influences in a safe, supportive space, helping you develop a more compassionate and confident self-image.
Some Symptoms of Low Self-Esteem Include:
- Persistent self-criticism
- Feelings of worthlessness or inadequacy
- Difficulty asserting yourself
- Negative body image
- Negative body image
- Avoidance behaviors
- Perfectionism
- Low confidence
How Can Therapy Help Improve Self-Esteem?
Therapy serves as a pathway to discovering your inherent strengths and resilience, fostering a journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. Here’s how our self-esteem therapy can help you cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself:
Tame Your Inner Critic
Imagine if the voice in your head was your biggest cheerleader instead of your harshest critic. Through therapy, you’ll learn to recognize and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing self-criticism with self-compassion and kindness.
Nurture Supportive Relationships
Your relationships should uplift and support you, not tear you down. In therapy, you’ll explore the dynamics of your relationships and learn to set boundaries that prioritize your well-being. You’ll learn how to surround yourself with people who celebrate your worth and encourage your growth.
Practice Self Care
Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential for nurturing your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Together, we’ll develop personalized self-care habits that nourish your mind, body, and spirit, fostering a greater sense of self-worth and resilience.

FAQs About Therapy For Self-Esteem
Is self-esteem therapy suitable for teens and adolescents?
Yes, self-esteem therapy can be immensely helpful for young children who may be grappling with feelings of low self-worth or insecurity. By intervening early, therapists can equip children with essential skills to build confidence, navigate challenges, and foster positive relationships. Through age-appropriate activities and techniques, therapy aims to empower children and teens to recognize their strengths, express their emotions effectively, and develop a healthy sense of self-esteem.
Our therapists work closely with both children and parents to provide support, guidance, and strategies for promoting positive self-esteem at home and in social settings. By addressing self-esteem issues during childhood, therapy sets the foundation for children to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically as they grow and develop.
Can low self-esteem cause anxiety and depression?
Low self-esteem can be a significant factor in the development of anxiety and depression. When someone doesn’t feel good about themselves, it can create a lot of stress and worry. This constant self-doubt and negative thinking can lead to feelings of anxiety, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming.
On top of that, low self-esteem can also make someone more susceptible to feelings of sadness and hopelessness, which are common symptoms of depression. By addressing low self-esteem, we can help you break free from these negative cycles and build a healthier mindset.
How long does therapy for self-esteem take?
The length of therapy will vary depending on individual needs and goals. Some people may find significant improvement in a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. It’s important to be patient and consistent with your sessions to see lasting change.
