Self Esteem
Maryanne Nicholls
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Stress and anxiety can end up making us feel less than, and that, in turn, can deepen our feelings of stress and anxiety. Always second-guessing ourselves, remaining quiet rather than speaking up, trying harder and staying longer just to make up for defects we see in ourselves. It's exhausting and never-ending.
It is possible to regain your self-esteem by looking at how you ended up doubting yourself so much. It could be from coping patterns you developed to deal with pain, or picked up from care-givers.
The therapies and skills I offer can help you recognize and change those patterns, replacing them with new ones that work so you can decrease your anxiety and live with more peace.

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.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

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.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
