Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
When I think of self-esteem issues, I think of the stories we tell ourselves or repeat from our childhood. People in our lives may have implanted these destructive thoughts in our mind, without meaning to. It could have been parents, relatives, family friends and even school bullies. It feels like the thoughts won't go away no matter what. I use Expressive Arts Therapy and talk therapy as a way to better understand the story with you. I have experienced, both alone and with clients, that the art making process quiets the negative chatter. I've witnessed client's gaining insight when using art. I've witnessed it move therapy alone faster. However, no client is forced to do art. It is always the client's choice. We move at your pace.

La Luz Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LPC-S, LCSW-S
Self-esteem and confidence is something we all wish we had- but many of us don't. When did this start? How long have I been feeling this way? Where does this low confidence come from? All the questions we can explore together so we can then figure out how to work with it. Before we can know how to increase it, we first have to figure out why it's low. I'm going to be honest, the first step to finding this out can be tough, but once we know that, it will be that much easier to spot if it start sneaking low again.
