Self Esteem
Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Low self-esteem rarely looks like what people expect; for high-achievers, it often masks itself behind a flawless exterior, relentless drive, and chronic people-pleasing. On paper, you have built a life to be proud of. But privately, you are trapped in a exhausting cycle of self-doubt, constant comparison, and a lingering fear of being "found out." No matter how much you accomplish, your internal critic convinces you that you are falling short, leaving you feeling deeply alone, unseen, and disconnected from your true worth.I provide specialized, compassionate counselling for individuals ready to break free from the weight of insecurity and build genuine, lasting self-compassion. In our collaborative space, we don't just patch over your insecurities with positive thinking. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to actively untangle unhelpful mindsets, quiet your inner critic, and build everyday tools to help you stop over-functioning for validation.Because a lack of self-worth often lives in the nervous system as a chronic state of low-grade anxiety, tension, or a desire to hide, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. We integrate somatic tools, breathing techniques, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely locate, process, and release the hidden physical weight of old criticisms, unspoken patterns, or past experiences that left you feeling unsafe or guarded in your own skin. Together, we will help you slow down, reclaim your boundaries, and step into an authentic, intentional, and confident way of living.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Struggles with self‑esteem often come from long‑standing patterns—internalized messages, protective parts, and nervous system responses that once helped you cope but now hold you back. In therapy, I help you explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, using somatic awareness, mindfulness, parts work, CBT, and humanistic approaches to gently shift how you relate to yourself. Together, we strengthen self‑regulation, soften harsh inner narratives, and reconnect you with a more grounded, confident sense of identity. My aim is to help you feel more aligned with your strengths, more trusting of your inner voice, and more able to show up authentically in your life.

Many of us are conditioned in different ways that result in us not loving ourselves and having low self-esteem. Working through our conditionings leads us to more self confidence, self love and more fulfilling relationships.
