Self Esteem
Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients struggling with self-esteem issues, I help them uncover the deeper beliefs and life experiences that have shaped how they see themselves. Together, we explore the origins of self-criticism and patterns of comparison, while fostering self-compassion and a more balanced inner dialogue. My approach blends insight-oriented therapy with practical tools to help clients challenge limiting narratives, recognize their strengths, and build a sense of worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. The goal is to help them develop a more grounded, authentic confidence — one rooted in self-understanding and acceptance.

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.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Self-esteem comes from being resilient from being in environments that support who we are as 95% of how we think-feel-act comes from the environment we grew up in (home-school-society). Self-esteem, knowing/liking who we are, & resiliency can grow when doing neurofeedback, hypnosis and counselling.

Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
Low self-esteem often stems from internalized messages and early experiences. Using a blend of parts work and somatic approaches, I help clients reconnect with their inherent worth and develop a more compassionate, empowered relationship with themselves.

Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Self-worth can become tangled in achievement, relationships, appearance, approval, caregiving, or the expectations we've absorbed throughout our lives. Eventually it can become difficult to know where those expectations end and you begin. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped how you see yourself while creating space for a more compassionate and authentic relationship with who you are. This work isn't about becoming someone better. It's about reconnecting with more of the person who is already there.

Self Esteem
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Struggles with self-worth often come from the messages we absorbed—not necessarily through words, but through experience. Maybe you learned you had to earn love by being helpful, quiet, perfect, or invisible. These emotional lessons get stored in deep, implicit memory and can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and what you believe you deserve. In therapy, we’ll work together to uncover and update those core beliefs—not by just talking through them, but by using experiential approaches that reach the parts of you still holding onto those old stories. Through memory reconsolidation and other non-pathologizing, emotionally engaged methods, we’ll gently reshape the way you relate to yourself, so your sense of worth becomes something you feel—not something you have to keep chasing.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed approach, issues with self-esteem and self-worth are manifestations of unresolved trauma that has resulted in becoming disconnected and feeling unworthy, broken, incomplete or not enough. The work we can do together will include helping you better understand yourself, developing self-love, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and self-acceptance, and processing the unresolved trauma so you can ultimately reconnect to yourself.

Pamela Mekuz
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Q)
The way we see ourselves can influence nearly every aspect of our lives, from our relationships and the choices we make to how we respond to challenges and setbacks. If you struggle with low self-esteem, you may find yourself caught in cycles of self-criticism, comparing yourself to others, or feeling that you're never quite good enough. I offer a compassionate space to explore where these beliefs come from, how they may have developed over time, and the ways they continue to shape your experiences. Together, we can work toward challenging unhelpful patterns, recognizing your strengths, and developing a more balanced, accepting, and compassionate relationship with yourself.
