Children, teens and young adults that have experienced trauma, anxiety and depression often have difficulty coping with everyday stressors. School, work and everyday life can be overwhelming whether you are in kindergarten, high school or beyond. By developing healthy interpersonal boundaries, self-esteem and appropriate coping skills they can experience the world around them with confidence and resilience. I will create a genuine therapeutic relationship that will allow me to meet them where they are and provide the additional support, they need to lead successful lives.

Does your child seem sad or withdrawn, become defiant or aggressive at home? Are they having a hard time making friends at school? Have they ever come to you and said they have nothing to live for? What about you, are you struggling as a parent due to your child’s emotional needs or is it causing conflicts within your family or marriage? Children and families face so many stressors.

Self Esteem Therapists
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.
What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.
What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.
How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
