Low self-esteem can profoundly affect one's life and choices.

Madeleine Krupl

Self-worth isn’t built by “thinking positive”; it’s built by practice. We’ll quiet the inner critic, strengthen self-respect, and align choices with your values using CBT/DBT, parts-informed work, and boundary skills. Virtual care via JaneApp, mornings–evenings daily.

Thamina Ahmadzai
Registered Psychotherapist
Through a compassionate and client-centered approach, I work collaboratively with individuals to explore the root causes of their self-esteem challenges, whether they stem from childhood experiences, negative self-talk, or external pressures.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to openly express their thoughts and feelings, and I actively listen to understand their unique struggles. Ultimately, my goal is to empower clients to embrace their worth, recognize their strengths, and build a foundation of self-love and self-acceptance.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Low self-esteem often isn’t a personality trait—it’s a learned survival strategy shaped by criticism, neglect, trauma, or chronic comparison. Therapy helps you shift the inner narrative, build self-trust, and practice boundaries and self-respect in real relationships. You can become someone who believes yourself, not just someone who “gets by.”

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Poor self-esteem can make it challenging to live the life you want. It would be important to identify the reasons behind the low self-esteem and the mechanisms that have made it linger in you. The ultimate goal with me would be to reduce the negative self-talk that can occur on a daily basis. Challenging and fostering more positive opinions of self can increase self-compassion, which makes a tremendous difference in how one feels on a day-to-day basis. I would help you develop and practice techniques that increase your self-love and acceptance of self, ultimately working towards an increased self-esteem.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Low self esteem isn’t just “negative thinking” it’s often a learned survival strategy shaped by past experiences. Therapy can help you understand where your self doubt comes from, loosen the grip of harsh inner criticism, and build a more stable sense of worth. You can expect more confidence, clearer boundaries, and a stronger ability to choose what’s right for you.

Moeez Munshi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying, Clinical Intern
Self Esteem grows when behaviour aligns with values and when inner talk becomes more accurate and kind. We’ll target perfectionism and shame with CBT and compassion-focused strategies, build small wins, and strengthen boundaries that protect your energy. The aim is a sturdier, quieter confidence you can trust. In person in Durham; virtual across Ontario.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
If your inner critic is loud and relentless, it can impact every area of your life. We’ll explore where those critical messages began, challenge them gently but firmly, and build a more grounded sense of self-worth that isn’t based solely on performance or other people’s approval.

Kalyna Scherbluk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Low self-esteem can affect how we view ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. I help clients explore the origins of self-critical beliefs and replace them with more compassionate, empowering narratives. Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your strengths and learn to feel at home in yourself again.
