Self-esteem issues is a polite way of talking about shame. Underneath the mean things you say about yourself is shame and fear. I've struggled with this most of my life. The terrible things I used to say about myself always seemed to manifest around me, which kept me trapped. We will work to unwind the web of beliefs you have and find the beauty deep inside.

Low self-esteem in teens is easy to miss, partly because so much of it looks like something else. It can show up as perfectionism, as not trying at all, as apologizing constantly, as needing a lot of reassurance, or as a teen who won't put themselves forward for anything. Some of the most confident-seeming kids are the hardest on themselves in private.
Comparison makes it worse, and teens now live inside an unprecedented amount of it. The measuring stick is always there, always updating, and always someone else's highlight reel.
I work with teens on what's underneath the self-criticism, not just the surface of it. Where did they learn to talk to themselves that way, and who taught it to them? We look at those beliefs directly, and build something steadier in their place. Alongside that, we work on practical things: recognizing what they're actually good at, setting boundaries in friendships, tolerating being disliked, and speaking up for what they need.
The aim isn't to convince your teen they're great. It's to help them relate to themselves with less contempt, so that failing at something stops meaning something about who they are.

Thea Integrative Therapy: Celine R. Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT #155675
Self esteem work is essential to self actualization. If we not not believe we can, we will limit our potential in all things in life. Some individuals have used shame and harnessed low self esteem as a means of forcing action or productivity, however the ensuing blocks or achievements can feel hollow and meaningless.
Especially for LGBTQ creatives, self esteem challenges can hinder self expression, creative work, and ultimately joy in life.
Thea Integrative Therapy believes that true self actualization and joy in life is sourced from a grounded and positive sense of self. Together, we will work to identify your source of confidence challenges, and then develop a strategy to challenge this belief system to cultivate a secure relationship with your confident best self. You deserve to love yourself, you really do ! And we can show you how.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem often begins in environments where your needs, emotions, or identity were dismissed or criticized. Rather than simply boosting your confidence, we explore the roots of self-doubt and gently repair the internal narratives shaped by past experiences. The goal is not perfection, it is self-trust, self-compassion, and a grounded sense of worth.
