Morgan Mackenzie
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In my practice, I support individuals the exploration and enhancement of self-esteem. Building and maintaining a healthy sense of self-worth is fundamental to overall well-being, influencing various aspects of one's life, from relationships to professional pursuits. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space for individuals to delve into the roots of low self-esteem, whether stemming from past experiences, societal pressures, or personal perceptions. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques and approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to challenge negative self-talk, set realistic goals, and foster a more positive self-image. My aim is to empower individuals to embrace their strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and develop the resilience needed to navigate life's challenges with confidence. Together, we embark on a journey toward greater self-awareness and a heightened sense of self-worth, paving the way for a more fulfilling and authentic life.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Exploring self-esteem is a path of self-discovery aiming to understand what you attribute to your personal sense of worth. Exploring a variety of areas in therapy can allow you to understand the emotions and experiences impacting your self-belief and establish the boundaries you require to be confident and comfortable being you.

Kathleen King
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Registered Social Worker
Self-esteem, self-confidence and sense of self are rooted in so much of our mental and emotional well-being. When we struggle with self-esteem, we tend to also struggle with boundaries, being assertive, and people pleasing. I will help you to re-connect with your most confident self; it's what I love to do the most. In my work with clients, I have noticed that when people express deep wounds in their self-esteem, it doesn't take much to help them realize who they are and what they want. Together, and with some humor, we will challenge the unhelpful thoughts that have you believing that you are not enough or that something is wrong with you, and have you feeling more confident, assertive and self-assured.

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.

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.

Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
We are often our own worst critic, holding ourselves to unrealistic standards and then beating ourselves up when we don’t meet them. When we are feeling low and disappointed, that’s when we would benefit from self-kindness the most. But feeling low is often a catalyst for even more criticism! It’s a bit of a vicious cycle. When we criticize ourselves, stress hormones are released and that, in combination with the increase in negative thoughts, can have a significant impact on our mood and functioning. Learning to speak to ourselves with kindness, and supporting ourselves when we are struggling, like we would with someone we care about, helps us to feel better in difficult times. It also helps us deal with life’s challenges in a healthier way.
Our therapists can help you explore past messages that have impacted your self-esteem, and current self-criticism that keeps you from feeling good enough. Your therapist will guide and support you as you make the changes you need to start feeling more confident and better about yourself overall.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Self-esteem can often be very difficult to build, especially when our first natural tendency is to focus on other's perception of us. I work on turning client's focus on the self through self-care practices, processing and exploring past difficulties and emotional injuries. This helps clients to heal and build self-esteem by developing their uncompromisable self and learning how to set boundaries with themselves and others.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
The outside world too often gets to dictate how we feel about ourselves. We learn to rely on this external validation and approval in order to feel good, and never learn how to give it to ourselves. We walk around thinking we are not doing enough, working hard enough, exercising enough, eating healthy enough- simply put we believe we are not enough. Working together we will deepen your understanding of how this belief system or other narratives show up in your own personal experience; as well as focus on related feelings and behaviours that keep you feeling stuck. We will also explore tools to engage and connect with your Self to build trust and confidence and positive self-esteem.
"The more we give our inner voice a platform to be our guide, the more we generate feelings of inner worth and trust that we are enough." ~ Leigh

Philippa Klein
Counsellor/Therapist, PSW, MSW
We all struggle with confidence and self esteem issues. In my opinion, a therapeutic space is the ideal space to grow a better and more grounded sense of self. Through judgement and a compassionate and validating environment , it is never too late to unpack our deeply held inner critic.
