Sometimes it can feel like you don't have the confidence to escape the situations or maybe you've thought to yourself, "If only I could speak up more" or "If only I had done these things, then..." These thoughts bring more shame, guilt, and doubt into yourself and can be tough to escape, but I am here to help you work through these things and to build up a new sense of self again.

Bonnie Nelson
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, MA(CP)(Distinct.), BA(Hons)
Psychotherapy can help clients to know themselves better and overcome punitive self-narratives and core beliefs. Since our ability to support others is a reflection of how well we care for ourselves, it's important to prioritize our own mental wellbeing to ensure we aren't 'pouring from an empty cup'.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
When your inner voice is your harshest critic, everything gets harder: relationships, work, even rest. Low self-worth often runs quietly underneath anxiety, people-pleasing, and burnout, shaping choices before you even notice. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to understand where those beliefs about yourself began, question whether they were ever true, and begin relating to yourself with the same compassion you offer everyone else. The goal isn't just to feel better temporarily, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace self-criticism with self-respect, and reconnect with what makes you feel capable and whole. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more confident in your own worth, and more equipped to take up space in your life.

Julie Christiansen (Spa for the Soul)
Counsellor/Therapist, RP
Self-esteem can be compromised after trauma, due to bullying or family dysfunction, and it is positively correlated with depression symptoms. As depression increases, self-esteem decreases. Talking with a therapist can help you reclaim your self-confidence and create a healthier positive self-image. All of our therapists are skilled in this competency.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel unsure of yourself, critical of your choices, or not “enough”? Many people grow up internalizing messages that their feelings, abilities, or worth are conditional, leaving them doubting themselves or comparing constantly to others.
These feelings are not a personal flaw—they are signals about areas where your sense of self has been shaped by experience. What matters is how you respond to them when they show up. Together, we can explore your experiences, strengthen your self-understanding, and build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself—so you can feel more confident, secure, and lighter over time. You feel this way for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Natalia Vyzhol
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Building a Strong Foundation of Self-Worth
Self-worth often gets buried beneath years of self-doubt, internalized criticism, and unmet emotional needs. It’s not something we lack—it’s something we lose sight of. I offer a space to gently uncover those layers and reconnect with your inherent value.
Together, we explore the emotional and subconscious roots of low self-esteem—where negative self-talk began, what protective patterns have formed, and how to shift the inner narrative toward compassion and strength. When appropriate, I also invite the possibility of inner child work, as early relational wounds and unrecognized needs often sit at the core of self-worth challenges. This process allows for deeper integration and healing of the parts that were silenced or shamed.
My approach blends evidence-based techniques with a warm, attuned presence, creating a safe space for reflection, growth, and real change.
In Our Work Together, You’ll Learn To:
• Recognize and challenge limiting beliefs and inner criticism
• Practice self-compassion in a way that feels authentic and sustainable
• Set boundaries that honor your needs and values
• Reconnect with your personal identity and inner voice
• Create self-care practices that nourish rather than distract
This work is about reclaiming your voice, honoring your worth, and learning to stand in your truth—without apology.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We often hold stuck concepts of ourselves as problematic or not good enough. Our minds may focus on thoughts, feelings, and stories, that seem to confirm we are not good enough, unloveable, or unworthy in some way. The danger is when we define ourselves by these beliefs. In psychotherapy we support you to shift your perspective and thought processes. We work to unburden the parts of you that hold these painful beliefs, in order to move towards self-confidence, self-compassion and a feeling of wholeness.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Low self-esteem can make it hard to trust yourself, set boundaries, take up space, or believe you are worthy of care and respect. Therapy can help you explore where these beliefs came from and how they continue to affect your life. Together, we can build self-compassion, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Low self esteem isn’t just “negative thinking” it’s often a learned survival strategy shaped by past experiences. Therapy can help you understand where your self doubt comes from, loosen the grip of harsh inner criticism, and build a more stable sense of worth. You can expect more confidence, clearer boundaries, and a stronger ability to choose what’s right for you.

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Poor self-esteem can make it challenging to live the life you want. It would be important to identify the reasons behind the low self-esteem and the mechanisms that have made it linger in you. The ultimate goal with me would be to reduce the negative self-talk that can occur on a daily basis. Challenging and fostering more positive opinions of self can increase self-compassion, which makes a tremendous difference in how one feels on a day-to-day basis. I would help you develop and practice techniques that increase your self-love and acceptance of self, ultimately working towards an increased self-esteem.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Coming from a personal place of having had very low self esteem I know how important it is to nurture healthy self esteem. Practising compassion and self acceptance as well as engaging in committed action towards one's values are so important for self esteem working with a therapist around these areas can be really helpful.

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Self-esteem is how we value and perceive ourselves. It's based on our opinions and beliefs about ourselves, which can feel challenging to change. We might also think of this as self-confidence. Your self-esteem can affect whether you: Like and value yourself. When your self-esteem and self-value are low, you may need some guidance and support to steer you back onto the right path where you can regain a sense of self-confidence and well being.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
There are many factors that can undermine our sense of worth and confidence in ourselves. Developing a healthy level of self-esteem is a process of self-discovery, where you learn much about compassion towards all the parts that make you who you are and where you learn that the authentic you is more than good enough. As a therapist, I welcome the opportunity to support you in this process. Within our work together, we can explore some of the things that have prevented you from feeling good about yourself and we can find ways for you to feel empowered and comfortable being you. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Low self-esteem can impact how you think, feel, and relate to others, often showing up as self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a sense of not being “good enough.”
In therapy, we take a collaborative approach to understand the underlying patterns shaping your self-esteem and work toward developing a more stable, confident, and compassionate sense of self using evidence-based approaches such as CBT.

Amber Skoczek
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Often times our self-esteem is impacted by our inability to feel connected with ourself and care for ourselves in a compassionate and caring manner. Learning how to do this can feel foreign and complicated. I hope to support you in building steps and strategies to create this sense of connection and ultimately build a high level of self-esteem.

Jose Luis Lopez Vargas
Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
I approach self-esteem through a Gestalt, humanistic, and body-oriented lens that helps you develop a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself. Together, we explore how self-judgment and self-support show up in your thoughts, emotions, and bodily experience. By increasing awareness and authentic self-contact, you can strengthen your sense of worth, clarify your needs, and act with greater confidence and congruence.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
