Lack of self esteem is a common issue with people - even highly successful and accomplished people. There is no shame around this and it is beneficial to explore this aspect of our lives with a non-judgmental therapist.

Kai Smith - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Self-esteem is shaped by more than your thoughts about yourself. It's built through nervous system experiences, attachment history, and the social and cultural messages absorbed long before you had words for them. I work with clients on all of that together, not just the internal critic, but the conditions that created it and the body that still carries them.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
