Self Esteem therapists in Swansea, Illinois IL
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Self-esteem problems occur when someone feels like they're not good enough, lacks confidence, and struggles to see their own worth. To help someone dealing with these issues, I'd start by creating a safe and supportive space where they can open up about what's bothering them. Together, we'd figure out what might be causing these feelings – whether it's past experiences, negative thoughts, or unhealthy relationships. In therapy, I'd help them challenge those negative thoughts, learn to be kinder to themselves, and see themselves in a more positive light. We'd also work on building their resilience and coping skills so they can handle life's ups and downs with more confidence. Ultimately, the aim is to help them realize how awesome they are, boost their self-esteem, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Self-esteem issues can profoundly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For instance, low self-esteem can lead to substance abuse as a coping mechanism and hinder healthy relationship dynamics, exacerbating feelings of loneliness and depression. My role is to create a supportive space for individuals to address their self-esteem issues. Together, we identify negative thought patterns and develop strategies to challenge them. I also help build self-confidence through positive affirmations, goal-setting, and self-care activities.
