Jim Mason
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, ICADC, CCAC
Self-esteem is the opinion you have of yourself. When you have healthy self-esteem, you tend to think positively about yourself, and optimistically about life in general. People with healthy self-esteem know that they are valuable, and will be able to name at least some of their positive qualities, such as “I am a good friend”, “I am kind”, “I am honest”, or “I am a good father”.
When you have low self-esteem, you tend to see yourself, the world, and your future more negatively and critically. You might feel anxious, sad, low, or unmotivated. When you encounter challenges, you may doubt whether you will be able to rise to them. You might talk to yourself harshly in your mind, telling yourself things like “You’re stupid”, “You’ll never manage this”, or “I don’t amount to anything”.
I emphasize a compassionate approach through various cognitive therapies, including CBT. CBT focuses on disrupting negative thought patterns and replacing them with more helpful ones. CBT aims to modify the unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns that impair one’s functioning. These changes can lead to healthier behaviours and improved emotion regulation. If you're ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
Children begin forming their sense of self early—and when that sense is shaped by criticism, comparison, or unmet emotional needs, it can lead to insecurity, anxiety, or people-pleasing. In therapy, I help children reconnect with their strengths, recognize their worth, and build a healthy, confident self-image. Using play therapy, art, and narrative techniques, I guide children in exploring who they are in a way that feels safe and empowering. Parents are also supported with strategies to affirm and nurture their child’s confidence at home. Self-esteem isn’t about perfection—it’s about helping your child feel capable, valued, and enough just as they are.

Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Self esteem is based on our circumstances: In some contexts I feel good about myself and in others I don't. Sometimes we can even hate ourselves. Self compassion, on the other hand, is something we can practice any time, under any circumstance: learning to love all our parts unconditionally, from our true essence, which is Love.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Low self-esteem can show up as harsh self-criticism, second-guessing yourself, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like your worth depends on being useful, successful, agreeable, or accepted. You may know intellectually that you deserve compassion and respect, while still finding it difficult to truly feel that way. I help clients explore where these beliefs and patterns came from, how they continue to shape relationships and choices, and what happens internally when self-doubt takes over. Through mindfulness, relational awareness, and compassionate curiosity, we can build a more grounded sense of self-worth that is less dependent on performance or other people’s approval.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Rewriting Your Inner Narrative: Reclaiming Self-Worth from the Inside Out
Low self-esteem rarely shows up as a simple lack of confidence—it manifests as an exhausting, continuous inner commentary telling you that you are not enough, no matter how hard you work or how much you achieve. It is the quiet voice that causes you to second-guess your decisions, apologize for occupying space, over-extend yourself to keep others happy, and brush off genuine praise as luck or politeness.
When your sense of worth depends on external approval, your nervous system remains trapped in high-alert. Every mistake feels like a catastrophe, every boundary feels like a risk, and everyday interactions become tests of whether you truly belong. Over time, carrying this heavy burden of self-doubt erodes your vitality and disconnects you from your authentic voice.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we provide a compassionate, heart-centered sanctuary where you can step down from the burden of self-judgment. Guided by our foundational values of empathy, integrity, tailored care, and authentic growth, we help you dismantle the harsh inner critic and uncover the root experiences that shaped your beliefs about your worth.
Through our integrative, trauma-informed approach, we support you to:
Unpack the Roots of Self-Doubt: Trace the origin of early conditioning, societal pressures, or past emotional wounds that taught you to diminish yourself to stay safe.
Soothe the Harsh Inner Critic: Shift out of physiological defensiveness, learning gentle somatic regulation techniques to quiet internal alarms when self-criticism or shame spikes.
Build Quiet, Unshakable Self-Trust: Cultivate authentic self-compassion, set firm boundaries without guilt, and step into a grounded confidence rooted in who you are—not just what you accomplish.
You do not have to keep earning your right to feel valuable, secure, and respected. Real self-esteem begins when you drop the exhausting performance, embrace your inherent worth, and step boldly into a life filled with genuine peace, resilience, and restored joy.
