Self Esteem
Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
For many of my clients, low self-esteem is tangled with years of masking, over-functioning, and questioning who they are beneath the coping — particularly for late-identified ADHD and neurodivergent adults. We use Internal Family Systems and self-compassion work to soften harsh inner voices and reconnect with the parts of you that have been working overtime to keep you safe. Over time, clients often feel less reactive, more self-aware, and more at home in themselves.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
Each client decides where he needs to go throughout the counselling process, as giving them this choice and control empowers them. I have provided support groups & workshops on topics such as mindfulness and stress management at the Childcare Information Speakers’ Bureau, Parents could address such workshop topics as ensuring and securing their child's self esteem, along with helping them to overcome the effects of bullying. Other tools which I make use of to assist clients in developing this stronger sense of self involves such tasks as learning to take care of themselves by putting themselves first, along with acquiring applicable strategies to stand up for themselves in such a way that it ensures the likelihood of their being taken seriously, and having their needs met. I encourage clients to find their voice in terms of the harrowing experiences that they have faced. Feeling better about themselves includes engaging with safe/positive people & activities that will give their life more meaning and fulfillment. Receiving support in coping with their new reality and navigating this day-to-day existence also helps to contribute to their sense of self . I encourage them to do some planning for their next phase of life and provide activities to help them become more aware of their life purpose. Overall, I have many activities to guide all individuals through developing a keen sense of self efficacy. The most essential goal for any client to reach is self-acceptance and self actualization in the process of self-actualizing we become more aware of our inner nature and act in accordance with it. Mahatma Gandhi outlines the most significant aspect of self actualization. "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony".

Feelings of self-worth are often one of the main things that can bring someone for counselling. I work to rebuild self-identity and self-esteem through looking at the interconnected ways in which self-image may have been damaged and working to rebuild these fractured structures through an integrative approach.

Rachelle Trudel - *psychothérapeute bilingue*
Registered Psychotherapist, RP/PA, CCC
Do you have low self-esteem, negatively comparing yourself to others and berating yourself for not having it all together like they do, always trying to do and be better? Do you set standards and goals for yourself which you can never seem to attain, without understanding why it's so difficult for you? Do you believe there's something wrong with you, so have tried self-help strategies to try to improve your deficits, but without having the success you've hoped for? You are not alone, and you don't have to keep feeling this way. It would be my pleasure to help you develop greater self-esteem and self-love so that the life you want can be within your reach!

Vous n'êtes pas seul(e), et vous n'êtes pas condamné(e) à vous sentir comme ceci indéfiniment.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Our self-esteem is essential for taking care of our mental health. working with low self-esteem through an emotionally focused perspective focuses on addressing the emotional experiences that contribute to feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. Low self-esteem often arises from early attachment injuries, such as experiences of rejection, criticism, or abandonment, which can leave individuals feeling insecure in their relationships and disconnected from their true selves. Emotionally focused work aims to help individuals explore and identify the emotional patterns that maintain low self-esteem such as self-criticism, fear of vulnerability, or emotional withdrawal. The goal of our work is to rebuild emotional safety and connection, which over time will contribute to developing a deeper sense of self-worth and confidence, which increases self-esteem and improves our overall emotional well-being.

Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Self-esteem shapes the way you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world. When self-doubt, self-criticism, perfectionism, or people pleasing become persistent, it can be difficult to feel confident, worthy, or connected to your authentic self. I offer a compassionate space to explore the experiences and patterns that have influenced your sense of self. Together, we'll work to develop greater self-understanding, strengthen self-compassion, and build a more confident and authentic relationship with yourself.
Therapy offers an opportunity to better understand these patterns, develop greater self-compassion, and build a more authentic and confident relationship with yourself. Together, we can explore the experiences that have shaped your self-worth and create space for lasting growth and change.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We often hold stuck concepts of ourselves as problematic or not good enough. Our minds may focus on thoughts, feelings, and stories, that seem to confirm we are not good enough, unloveable, or unworthy in some way. The danger is when we define ourselves by these beliefs. In psychotherapy we support you to shift your perspective and thought processes. We work to unburden the parts of you that hold these painful beliefs, in order to move towards self-confidence, self-compassion and a feeling of wholeness.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
A compromised self-esteem, that is, the way one sees themselves and the beliefs one holds about themselves, can have an extreme impact on one's quality of life; it shapes how they see the world, others, and the potential for what happens in the future. No one is born with poor self-esteem, it is learned; being able to unlearn these negative, maladaptive, and dysfunctional beliefs, and how to build one's self-esteem up so that an individual can believe, care about, and take care of, themselves, is imperative to a positive quality of life.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
We live in a fast paced world with many demands upon us. It can feel impossible to keep up, and comparison with others, with our ideal images of ourselves, and our hopes can often steal our sense of being "enough" or "too much." Work with me to learn about what values you hold, which of those you want to keep and invest in, and how you can show up in a way that makes you feel an internal sense of pride. In time this inner compass becomes stronger and stronger, allowing self assuredness and confidence to take over.

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.
