I employ Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help clients rapidly process and resolve underlying traumas or negative beliefs affecting their self-esteem. Additionally, I integrate Attachment-based techniques to explore early relational patterns and foster healthy attachment styles, promoting a sense of security and self-worth. By incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches, I assist clients in challenging self-critical thoughts, developing self-compassion, and cultivating a more positive self-concept.
I like to create a supportive and empathetic environment in sessions where clients feel accepted and understood without judgment. Through active listening and reflecting back the client's experiences and emotions, I help clients gain insight into their self-perceptions and challenges. By fostering a genuine and non-directive therapeutic relationship, clients are empowered to explore their self-concept, build self-awareness, and develop a more positive sense of self.
In my therapeutic approach to treating self-esteem issues, I integrate various modalities tailored to each individual's needs. Through art therapy and experiential techniques, I provide creative avenues for clients to explore their self-perceptions and express their emotions. Additionally, I incorporate elements of person-centered therapy, compassion focus therapy, and narrative therapy to foster self-acceptance, build inner strength, and challenge negative self-beliefs, empowering clients to cultivate a more positive self-image.
In my sessions focusing on improving self-esteem, I often employ elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive thoughts about themselves. Additionally, I integrate aspects of Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel valued and understood, fostering a sense of acceptance and self-worth. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist clients in cultivating mindfulness skills and accepting their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to take meaningful actions aligned with their values and build a more confident sense of self.
Self esteem issues are very common and something that can be addressed in therapy. Sometimes childhood trauma may be a root of a lot of core beliefs that diminish our self esteem. Through EMDR therapy, you can experience long term relief and it can change negative beliefs about yourself to positive ones that are true to you while also reprocessing past experiences that may have been the start to it all. I provide a safe, supportive, nonjudgemental space to process what you need and I am dedicated to your treatment.
If your self-esteem feels like it is too low or it yo-yos based on what people say or do, increasing self-compassion and self-love can be valuable in building self-esteem and confidence for the long-term in your life. Having a healthy self-esteem is important, a more fulfilling fun way to live, and helpful in drawing in the types of relationships that we long for.
With a focus on self-compassion, we will explore experiences that have impacted your self-esteem. I will also help you learn effective tools for fostering a healthier self-image, empowering you to cultivate genuine self-worth and confidence.
