Self Esteem therapists in Douglas, Illinois IL
Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You find yourself ruminating about the same situations without making decisions or changes.You need 10 different opinions before you can make a decision. You don't trust your inner voice, or maybe, you don't even hear your inner voice. Seeking therapy can help.
Therapy is a time set aside just for you for 50 minutes weekly in which the focus is entirely on you, your needs and sometimes needing to sort out what those needs actually may be. As important as the significant people in our lives are, people have opinions that come from a personal place. It is difficult to always separate “advice” from the “advice giver’s” perspective and their own needs. Therapy is not about being given advice. It is not about the therapist being judge or jury. It is not about the need for the therapist to have you do something in a way that makes the therapist happy or feel good. It is about being helped to unfold what you already know, your truth, not mine, and to allow what you know, need, and want to begin to emerge from underneath all the outside noise and influences.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Self-esteem problems occur when someone feels like they're not good enough, lacks confidence, and struggles to see their own worth. To help someone dealing with these issues, I'd start by creating a safe and supportive space where they can open up about what's bothering them. Together, we'd figure out what might be causing these feelings – whether it's past experiences, negative thoughts, or unhealthy relationships. In therapy, I'd help them challenge those negative thoughts, learn to be kinder to themselves, and see themselves in a more positive light. We'd also work on building their resilience and coping skills so they can handle life's ups and downs with more confidence. Ultimately, the aim is to help them realize how awesome they are, boost their self-esteem, and live a happier, more fulfilling life.
