Kim Alscher
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RCC
Low self-esteem often develops from long-standing patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, or early experiences that shaped how you understand your worth. It can show up as chronic doubt, shame, or feeling “not good enough,” and may contribute to anxiety, depression, or even addictive coping. Using Internal Family Systems and Compassion-Focused Therapy, I help clients explore these inner beliefs with curiosity and warmth—understanding the protective parts that formed over time and learning to relate to themselves with greater kindness.

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.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself clearly. More often it shows up as overworking, over-apologising, difficulty saying no, or a quiet sense that you have to earn your place in every room you enter. I work with people to understand where that belief came from and gently build something more honest in its place, not toxic positivity, but a real and grounded sense of who they actually are.

Victoria Jade Karra
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, CTP, CSTS
Difficulties with self-esteem are often connected to deeper experiences of shame, criticism, disconnection, or feeling unseen. Therapy can become a space to better understand the patterns shaping your sense of self, reconnect with your strengths and values, and begin building a more compassionate and authentic relationship with yourself. Together, we work toward developing healthier boundaries, more supportive relationships, and a stronger sense of confidence, belonging, and self-worth.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
One of the most important relationships you have is the one with yourself. How we feel about ourself is usually influenced by the people and environments around us, or that we grew up with. The way we think, talk, and feel toward ourself radiates inward and outward. If you're wanting to shift your relationship with yourself, build self-esteem, release the grip that shame often holds on us, and develop new beliefs, I'm here to support you. Building a healthier relationship with yourself is entirely possible and deeply liberating.

Online in Burnaby, BC British Columbia
Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada, Telus, and other major technology companies — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
