Self Esteem
Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Self-Esteem involves an individual's perception of their worth or personal value. When your self-esteem is too high or too low, that could be harmful. Excessively high self-esteem can be linked with narcism, but excessively low self-esteem can be linked with depression. Self-esteem is important for your motivation and success in life. Signs of low self-esteem are negative outlooks in life, lack of confidence, inability to express needs, focusing only on weaknesses, or excessive feelings of shame, depression, or anxiety. Therapy can help address the maladaptive thoughts linked to one's self-esteem and help develop new patterns of thought.

Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough,” you’re not alone. Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you show up in relationships, at work, and with yourself, often leaving you feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected from who you really are.
In therapy, we’ll explore the roots of your self-doubt and help you shift the inner narrative that’s been holding you back. Together, we’ll work on building confidence, setting healthier boundaries, and reconnecting with your strengths, not just who you think you're supposed to be, but who you already are beneath the layers of self-criticism.
You deserve to feel good about yourself, and we’re here to help you get there.

Self Esteem
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Lack of self-esteem is probably the most common by-product of the modern society in which an individual is considered the sole architect of one’s life. To improve self-esteem, one has to understand the gap between the ideal and the real. In psychotherapy, one has to realize the degree to which these ideals can be converged and, sometimes, with the help of the therapist, the client understands that this ideal is not their ideal, but a projection caused by family, society, culture, etc. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship can help you explore your self-esteem to be confident and comfortable with who you are. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Ty Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RP
Sometimes it can feel like you don't have the confidence to escape the situations or maybe you've thought to yourself, "If only I could speak up more" or "If only I had done these things, then..." These thoughts bring more shame, guilt, and doubt into yourself and can be tough to escape, but I am here to help you work through these things and to build up a new sense of self again.

Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Having a good self-esteem is important if you would like to achieve your goals in life. It all starts from self. Your self is your vehicle through which you navigate life. If the vehicle is weak then it won't reach far. Therapy can help strengthen the self so it can get most out of life.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
