Self Esteem
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
True self-esteem isn't about constant confidence; it’s about having a grounded, compassionate relationship with all parts of yourself. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, I help you move beyond the 'inner critic' to understand the roots of the shame or self-doubt that holds you back.
We explore how your sense of worth may have been shaped by early life experiences and survival strategies that no longer serve you. By using a Parts Work lens, we work to unburden the parts of you that feel 'not enough,' replacing old patterns of self-criticism with a resilient sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you cultivate an internal security that allows you to show up authentically in your life and relationships.

Self Esteem
Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Self-esteem concerns can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a feeling of not being “enough,” no matter how much you achieve or how hard you try. You might find yourself second-guessing decisions, comparing yourself to others, or feeling disconnected from your innate worth. Often, these patterns develop over time through our early experiences, relationships, and internalized messages about your value.
In our work together, we’ll explore the roots of these beliefs and how they continue to shape the way you see yourself today. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll pay attention to both the emotional and nervous system patterns that maintain self-criticism and low self-worth. We’ll focus on developing a compassionate, more embodied sense of self-acceptance and internal safety.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work on reducing self-criticism, strengthening self-compassion, and building a stronger sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Our identities are socially constructed so it is our relationship and understanding our selves. Creating spaces to highlight our preferred narratives is a wonderful opportunity to grow, heal and re-think our selves.

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.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You are not broken—you just have parts of you that forgot how worthy you are.
Low self-esteem often stems from early experiences that left parts of us believing we weren’t good enough, lovable, or deserving. These beliefs can quietly shape how we show up in relationships, work, and even how we talk to ourselves. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you connect with the parts of you that carry shame, self-doubt, or the need to constantly prove your worth. As someone who has walked this healing path myself, I know what it takes to rebuild that connection to your True Self—the part of you that knows you are enough just as you are.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Low self esteem often develops after years of childhood emotional neglect (CEN), unhealthy relationships, or constantly putting others' needs before your own. Together, we'll explore the experiences that shaped how you see yourself, challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling "not good enough," and build genuine self worth, confidence, and self acceptance. My goal is to help you develop a healthier relationship with yourself so you can set boundaries, trust your instincts, and live with greater confidence and authenticity.

Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, RCC, CCC
The way we see ourselves impacts our entire lives. Being a person of colour growing up in Canada - I never realized how much western society dictated my perception of myself. And growing up as Pakistani Muslim in Canadian society was a whole other added layer. I support BIPOC and culturally diverse individuals in discovering and connecting with their perception of who they are and ultimately feeling confident in their sense of self. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
