Monarch Psychology
Psychologist, R Psych, RSW
Free matching calls available to help match you with the best therapist for your unique needs. Poor self-esteem is linked to a fear of not being good enough. This fear can trap you in a cycle of constantly trying to please and be perfect, but no matter what you do, it never feels like enough. Perfection is impossible, and pleasing everyone is equally unattainable, leaving you feeling stuck and resentful when your efforts do not work. Many of these behaviours are rooted in early socialization or challenges within caregiving relationships, including emotional and narcissistic abuse.
Counselling can help you uncover the factors contributing to these behaviours and address them so you can live with more freedom and self-acceptance. By exploring and understanding the underlying issues, you can break free from this cycle and find a healthier, more balanced approach to life.

I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for individuals struggling with self-esteem and self-worth challenges. I understand how negative self-beliefs can affect relationships, career, and overall well-being, and believe that building confidence and self-compassion is a key step toward personal growth.
Using an integrative approach I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, recognize personal strengths, and develop practical strategies to nurture self-confidence and resilience. My approach emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and celebrating progress—no matter how small.
I strive to support clients in building a stronger sense of self, embracing their unique strengths, and moving toward a more fulfilling and balanced life—one empowering step at a time.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Did you know that self esteem is directly connected to self acceptance? Did you know that issues like confidence, identity and your value can be diminished by things like past trauma and anxiety disorders? Sometimes it's valuable to look at your life to find out why your self esteem is low before you try to improve it. It seems to be more successful that way.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If you see yourself as less-than, unworthy, or insignificant—if the voice in your head is relentlessly critical and every comparison confirms your inadequacy—you're not weak or broken. You learned these beliefs, usually from trauma that taught you your value depended on performance, approval, or being small. In our work together, you'll experience genuine acceptance and compassion as we challenge the lies you've internalized. We'll explore where these beliefs originated, build empowering inner narratives to replace the criticism, and develop resilience through consistent validation and encouragement. Your worth isn't something you earn—it's something you reclaim. You deserve to see yourself truthfully: enough, valuable, worthy.

Shelley Westergard
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, MACP, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, BA, Addictions Certificate
Working with a client's self esteem comes with unpacking the background around what has happened for them. I will want to hear your story, I will ask questions to go deeper, I will pause you to rest on underlying hidden emotions, I will ask more questions to evoke more of all of this. It can take deep work to unpack what has hurt our sense of self, and beautiful work to recover it.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
