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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
