ThriveWell Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW / RP
Our minds are really good at telling us that we are not worthy. Often, this develops as a safeguard from rejection, failure, or "big" emotions. Self-esteem shapes how we see our place in the world, but the mind can lose sight of this, focusing on doubt, comparison, or past experiences. If you've felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or struggled to see your value, you're not alone. Self-esteem isn't fixed - it can be explored and rebuilt. At Thrivewell Counselling, we use approaches like CBT, IFS and trauma-informed care to support you in building a healthier relationship with yourself.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Low self-esteem often stems from old emotional patterns and body-held messages about safety and worth. I help clients rewire these patterns by combining insight work with nervous-system grounding. Over time, you develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
Our relationship with ourselves can shape how we navigate nearly every area of life. When self-esteem is low, you may find yourself being overly critical of yourself, doubting your abilities, or looking to others for validation and reassurance.
In therapy, we can explore the experiences and patterns that have shaped how you see yourself, helping you develop greater self-compassion, confidence, and trust in your own worth.

Jose Luis Lopez Vargas
Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
I approach self-esteem through a Gestalt, humanistic, and body-oriented lens that helps you develop a more compassionate and grounded relationship with yourself. Together, we explore how self-judgment and self-support show up in your thoughts, emotions, and bodily experience. By increasing awareness and authentic self-contact, you can strengthen your sense of worth, clarify your needs, and act with greater confidence and congruence.

Lori Ralko
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., RSW
Recently, I was watching a video clip of Brene Brown, the renowned social worker and shame researcher. She talked about empathy as the antidote to shame. Whereas shame that is hidden is permitted to grow and thrive, shame that is shared with an understanding and empathic ear has the opportunity to transform. My hope is that if you're struggling with negative feelings about yourself, you'll be able to share your thoughts and feelings with me when you feel safe to do so.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
My approach, relational therapy, sees self-esteem as shaped by our experiences with others. How we're treated in relationships, past and present, deeply effects how we feel about ourselves. You don't need to have traumatic experiences to have impacted your self esteem; sometimes well-meaning and loving relationships still don't happen give us what we needed to be more positively connected to ourselves. How we're valued or not in society also matters: even if we know they're wrong, experiences of discrimination and prejudice can become internalized, leaving a mark on our self-image. I'll work with you to try to understand the unique relational world you carry, and what experiences of connection, love, validation, and acceptance you may need to support a better self esteem. My hope is that you leave therapy with new narratives, feeling more empowered and compassionate towards yourself.
Some of my clients want to revisit and reprocess past, impactful experiences that haunt their self-image. Others would rather focus on present experiences—how do self esteem issues come up in daily life now? How are they feeling in the session? Some want to explicitly discuss issues of internalized racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, homophobia, etc. Others may not think through an identity lens, and that's okay too! My approach is client-led, so I'm always flexible to whether or not, and how deeply, you want to discuss something. So much of therapy is about finding your authentic voice, and my process always seeks to honour that.

Chris Pankewich, Registered Psychotherapist – Toronto Therapy for Anxiety, Addiction, Relationships & Men’s Emotional Resilience
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Self-esteem is all about how we value and perceive ourselves. Connected to that are the standards and expectations we set for ourselves and others. At its core, self-esteem is based on the opinions, beliefs and narrative our minds hold about ourselves, which can feel difficult to change. How we define and measure our self-esteem can deeply affect whether we value ourselves, respect ourselves or even like ourselves. Therapy focused on self-esteem work challenges us to cultivate a deeply personal and meaningful definition of self-esteem, one that is holistic in nature. Once we have done that, we can then set up weekly experiences that ask us to live through that definition.
