Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Self-esteem struggles can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Many women find themselves measuring their worth by performance, approval, or how well they meet expectations. In our work together, we focus on understanding where these beliefs developed and strengthening a more stable internal sense of value that is not dependent on constant achievement or external validation.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Self-esteem shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how confidently we move through life. When self-esteem is low, people often struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear of judgment, or feeling “not enough,” even when they are capable and accomplished. These patterns are often learned over time and reinforced at a subconscious level.
My approach to working with self-esteem is personalized and respectful. Rather than focusing solely on positive thinking, hypnosis helps address the underlying beliefs and emotional responses that influence how individuals perceive themselves. Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals and life experience, supporting the development of healthier self-perception, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Clients often seek hypnosis for self-esteem when long-standing patterns persist despite insight or effort. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that allows clients to remain aware and in control while gently reinforcing more supportive beliefs and behaviors.
This work is offered as a supportive tool for personal growth and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and self-accepting.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem isn't a personality flaw — it's a learned response to an environment that taught you that you weren't enough. At Simple Empathy we don't just challenge negative self-talk, we go looking for where it came from. Whose voice is that? What did it protect you from? What would it mean to actually believe you were enough — and why does that feel so threatening? Using IFS and Narrative Therapy we do the deeper work that makes self-esteem actually stick instead of just performing confidence until something hard happens and it crumbles.
