Self-esteem has to do with a person’s confidence, feelings of adequacy, and the overall way they think of themselves. If someone is unsure of themselves, they may feel unworthy, nervous, or sad. Self-esteem issues can also stem from other mental health concerns, such as anxiety, trauma, or depression.
Available Treatment Options
The bulk of counseling interventions for improving self-esteem include challenging negative thought patterns. Understanding the root of these thoughts can also be helpful in therapy. Therapists and counselors can help people process and resolve harmful childhood messages, challenge negative thoughts, and set goals for self-empowerment and self-love.

“What if I miss up?” “If I don’t do well on this report/presentation I will get fired and then I will lose my home.” “If it’s not perfect then it’s not good enough, I’m not good enough.” Do these thoughts remind you of anything?

Finding a therapist is a bit like choosing a shade of white paint. We come in plenty, seem nice, and are hard to tell apart.

Only some of us take your insurance and some of us won’t have availability when you finally m...
