Self Esteem
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Self-esteem is the opinion you have of yourself. When you have healthy self-esteem, you tend to think positively about yourself, and optimistically about life in general. People with healthy self-esteem know that they are valuable, and will be able to name at least some of their positive qualities, such as “I am a good friend”, “I am kind”, “I am honest”, or “I am a good father”.
When you have low self-esteem, you tend to see yourself, the world, and your future more negatively and critically. You might feel anxious, sad, low, or unmotivated. When you encounter challenges, you may doubt whether you will be able to rise to them. You might talk to yourself harshly in your mind, telling yourself things like “You’re stupid”, “You’ll never manage this”, or “I don’t amount to anything”.
Your self-esteem affects how you live your life, but it is fragile. If you have low self-esteem, you might be always trying to please other people, or go ‘above and beyond’ at work or with your friends and family. As long as you keep meeting these standards you may feel OK, but there will inevitably be times when it’s not possible to do so, and this can quickly leave you feeling low and anxious.
Self-esteem exists on a spectrum. Some people with low self-esteem find that it only affects them with certain people, or in certain situations. Other people find that their self-esteem colors everything they do.
Therapy can help rebuild your self worth and help you live a more meaningful and authentic life.

We all have stories that created in our lives that tell us who we are. These stories are started in childhood and continue into adulthood. I will work with you to uncover your bottom line self-defeating beliefs, the subsequent rules you live by to avoid being "found out," and strategies to re-write these rules so that you can live an empowered life.

Lauren Rance
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist (PsyD, LP)
Many of my clients who struggle with self-esteem feel inferior to other people. They may find themselves constantly comparing themselves to other people. They may struggle to manage eating habits and exercise and feel negatively about their bodies. I work with clients to understand the root of these struggles. We work together to create sustainable lifestyle habits and improved self-esteem.

Self-esteem, self-confidence, self-worth, these are all a little different. Let's talk about how you can use each one of these to build a more resilient you by catching how you talk to yourself and shift to self-talk that is far more accurate. We are going to learn tools and skills for being far kinder to yourself and begin talking to yourself like you'd expect a friend to speak to you.
