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.

KDW Counselling & Consulting
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RSW
Struggling with self-esteem can feel like an ongoing inner critic—always questioning your worth or leaving you feeling not quite good enough. In therapy, we take time to understand where those feelings come from and how they show up in your life today. From there, we work on building a steadier sense of self, so you can start to feel more confident, comfortable in your own skin, and able to recognize the strengths you already carry.

Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Low self-esteem often feels like a loud, relentless inner critic that narrates your every move, pointing out your flaws and questioning your value. It can show up as chronic self-doubt, a tendency to "shrink" in social spaces, or a feeling that you are fundamentally "not enough." In our work, we move beyond simple affirmations to unpack the profound impact your history and environment have had on your sense of self.
Using an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, we’ll get to know the parts of you that carry the weight of old labels and criticisms. By weaving in psychodynamic and relational insights, we explore the origins of these beliefs—often finding that they were once survival strategies designed to protect you. My goal is to help you shift from a place of self-judgment toward radical self-compassion, unburdening the "not enough" narrative so you can step into your life with a genuine, grounded sense of your own worth and agency.

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Low self-esteem can affect the way you see yourself, your relationships, your confidence, and the choices you make in everyday life. You may find yourself constantly second-guessing who you are, comparing yourself to others, struggling with self-criticism, or feeling like no matter how much you do, it never quite feels like enough.
I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore the experiences, pressures, and beliefs that may have shaped how you see yourself over time. Together, we can work toward building greater self-confidence, self-acceptance, and a healthier relationship with yourself that feels more grounded and genuine.

Mind Path Therapy
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Having low self-esteem can feel like a huge brake on our lives, and it often involves self-limiting beliefs, like: "if only I felt more confident, I would take more risks". Perhaps you've experienced feeling like you're caught in a pattern of negative self-appraisal and avoidance of the things you want to approach. Understanding what low self-esteem is and how it functions is crucial to getting compassionate and effective treatment. I offer an evidence-based approach using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you identify the thoughts and behaviours that may be maintaining low self-esteem, and, most importantly, help you make the shift from focusing on the unreliable feeling of confidence to grounding yourself in the parts of you and your life that you care about. Dealing with self-esteem is about transcending the need for confidence and artificially pumping ourselves up. It's about anchoring yourself in your experience and taking courageous steps, no matter how small, towards the things and relationships you care about.

Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
There are many ways to address and improve issues related to self esteem including :
• Practice sitting with difficult emotions and being alone without unhealthy distractions - stay busy with healthy distractions
• Spend more time with people who make you feel loved/appreciated
• Cut out anyone negative
• Goals and task achievement - recognize what you are good at and celebrate wins
• Lifestyle - reduce substance, sleep, diet, exercise
• Inner critic - notice, label, trash, distract - what would friend say?
• Assertive, say no, set boundaries
• Each day - write down something you are proud of
• Be yourself – be your true self around everyone, even if you fear being rejected. You will likely be surprised by how people respond, thereby validating that who you truly are is okay
• Stop comparing – if you notice yourself comparing yourself to others, make sure to compare your whole self to their whole self. Don’t just compare yourself to their best attribute, consider that they are a whole person, with good qualities and flaws, just like you and everyone else.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Self esteem is integral to how we view and conduct ourselves in the world. As we navigate through life, we may notice our self esteem fluctuating which often dictates our self worth. Sometimes when we struggle with self esteem and/or self worth, we are led to develop relationships with others and ourselves that feel counterproductive to our personal growth. If you find yourself struggling with self esteem and/or self worth, we can work to challenge these ideas, learn about where they come from, and deconstruct their meaning in order to help you reach a place of confidence and peace with who you are. Contact me to schedule a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit.
