Self Esteem Therapists in Mesquite, TX

People and their challenges come in all shapes and sizes, some of which you may not have ever planned on encountering! Regardless of how well prepared you may or may not feel, it always helps to have someone outside of your own head to lend perspective to your specific situation. I would love to assist in your efforts to find healing and empowerment in a safe, non-threatening environment. Christian counseling is available upon request.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who provides therapy to adults. I work with creative and thoughtful people looking to gain insight into their own behaviors and challenges, including persons struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, worry, intrusive or unwelcome thoughts, folks working on alcohol and drug abuse recovery, persons addressing identity development, adults who have difficult or absent relationships with their parents now or in childhood, and persons with psychotic disorders who are looking for supportive therapy in addition to their ongoing medication management provided by their psychiatrist.

Entrepreneurs, leaders, and creative individuals often struggle with self-esteem and career issues. The experience of depression, anxiety, trauma, or significant life transitions can interfere with your overall well-being. We go through life feeling there must be more; more to our potential, our relationships… just more. To address these concerns we have to look at our own investment in ourselves and our process of growth.

I may not know exactly how you feel, but I understand that you want to feel differently: about yourself, about your relationship, about your life. I welcome adolescents and adults, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges including stress, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, parenting, unresolved familial conflict, and the general "stuck" feeling. I believe that with my understanding of people and your understanding of you, we can work together to address these challenges.

Life is full of unique experiences and challenges, but you don't have to face them alone. I understand your need for positive change in your self-perception, relationships, and overall well-being. My services are tailored to adolescents, adults, and couples dealing with a wide range of issues, including stress, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, parenting, unresolved familial conflict, and persistent feelings of defeat.

I have a passion for helping people reach their full potential by breaking the chains of past/current hurts or fears and moving into freedom. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort that requires active participation from both client(s) and therapist. Honesty and cooperation are necessary tools that can help spark change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment. I have a general practice in which I treat a wide range of issues some of which include: relationship difficulties, low self esteem, post- trauma issues, depression, anxiety, stage 2 addiction recovery and others.

I believe in creating a safe and trusting relationship between the client and therapist. Therapy can be hard work and getting started can be scary, however making art and stimulating creativity can ease this process. As your therapist, I will encourage you to use your creative imagination as a vehicle to understanding your inner turmoil, psychic pain or stagnancy. Along the way we will be implementing these effective tools in cultivating a more fulfilling life experience. Main office line is 972-544-6633.

My ideal client is anyone dealing with the human condition. Need to talk? You would be perfect. Feel stuck? You would be perfect. Conflicted? You would also be perfect. My ideal client is interested in progress over perfection. The goal is to assist clients in creating a comprehensive plan for setting and achieving goals; helping to facilitate behavioral change; assisting in helping clients to establish and maintain relationships; and assisting in enhancing client's effectiveness and coping.

My name is Daisy Calderon, and I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. In my counseling practice, I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, behavioral and family issues. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and if requested, I can incorporate a Christian-based approach. My counseling style is warm, empathic, non-judgmental, and engaging.

I have served in the helping professions for several years and has had the opportunity to work with a multitude of populations. I completed my first degree in Industrial and organizational psychology and successfully guided many individual businesses to start existing in their purpose. After completing this Journey, I returned and received my second degree in Professional counseling and has since worked with teens, Adults and Seniors to address the needs they have related to esteem, goals and their identified purpose.

From the outside, it looks like you are killing it. You're ambitious, dependable, accomplished and often find yourself asked to take on more responsibility because of it. Yet your cruel inner voice keeps telling you that you're not good enough and you never will be. It's exhausting trying to maintain appearances and continue functioning at this level. You are tired of taking care of everyone else and having nothing left for yourself. You don't want to be a doormat but part of you is afraid to stand up for yourself because you worry it will lead to you losing everyone. You may even think you deserve how you've been treated.

Are you sad and confused? I will help you understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. You can get help through counseling. It is generally short-term and focused on helping you deal with a very specific problem; Virtual only (M,W,Thur 10 or 11 am), M-F (appointments after 5 pm CST), Saturdays (9-2p) "virtual appointments ONLY". I am experienced in treating a wide range of disorders including: phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety, couples issues, divorce issues and trauma.

Have you looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "How did I get here?" “Who can I trust?” “How did my life change so quickly that I can't even recognize myself anymore?" "Am I Crazy?" "I Want to be Happy?" Problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Real problems start and end with the mirror image we see daily. Often the mirror image is silent but dying to speak and live life again. Issues in life start with the inability to be heard, believed in, and understood. I believe the best way to find you again, is to find your voice.

Life can bring about so many challenges and changes, and sometimes the challenges of life can be difficult. Overcoming life challenges sometimes requires some expertise, encouragement, guidance, tools, feedback or just a safe place to process. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer empathy, compassion, hope, skills and experience. Together we'll work to accomplish goals that will bring you the desired impactful change needed for you to move through your life being your best self.

Congratulations on making the decision to seek help with life challenges. You have tried long enough to work things out on your own and seeking help will prove to be the best decision you have made. No longer will you have to resolve these issues alone. No matter how “big” or how “small” your struggles are, sometimes you just need some assistance to process your situation, develop goals, and achieve your desired outcome. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families find internal peace and learn new ways to reach their goals and aspirations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in providing therapy and counseling services to children, teens and adults. I strongly believe that therapy can make a positive impact by giving you the tools you need to have a healthy and successful life. It is my hope that together we can meet your therapy goals.

I am so excited to meet you! I have been working in mental health for over eight years in different capacities, most recently as a therapist and school social worker. I am passionate about helping clients gain control over their lives and develop a toolbox of resources and mindsets they need to succeed in the world. My goal is to make my clients feel empowered, capable, and strong. All of this is within you already; it just takes some fine tuning and practice to feel comfortable within one's own skin. I am here to support you and provide encouragement as we dive in and set out on a new positive path ahead.

Life. That's it just life. Life can be...well life and sometimes it sucks. Maybe you're feeling constantly on edge, worried, or alone. You may feel like this pain you are having is never going to end, and your thoughts won't stop no matter how hard you try. Maybe you beat yourself up way too much. Maybe all of these things are affecting your relationships with others and yourself. What if I told you that you can be happy? I help women and men that have experienced trauma from their childhood learn how to love themselves again and get rid of the constant feeling of guilt and blame so that they can feel better and be happy.
