Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
If you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re never quite “enough,” you’re not alone. Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you show up in relationships, at work, and with yourself, often leaving you feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected from who you really are.
In therapy, we’ll explore the roots of your self-doubt and help you shift the inner narrative that’s been holding you back. Together, we’ll work on building confidence, setting healthier boundaries, and reconnecting with your strengths, not just who you think you're supposed to be, but who you already are beneath the layers of self-criticism.
You deserve to feel good about yourself, and we’re here to help you get there.

Nadia Malik
Registered Psychotherapist
Low self-esteem can affect many areas of your life including school, work, and relationships. When you lack self-worth, you feel low and down about yourself as if you’re not good enough. When you lack self-efficacy, you think you are incapable of doing things successfully. In our sessions together we will work on your negative beliefs about yourself to help you see all the great qualities you truly possess as well as build qualities that you desire. I believe in you, and together we can work on growing your self-love and confidence.

Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Many psychological issues including anxiety and depression are a result of low self-esteem. I use an Adlerian approach to help my clients understand how negative self thoughts can damage self-esteem and empower them to change their view of themselves to a more compassionate one. In particular, I help them find the "courage to be imperfect" and accept their mistakes as an unavoidable part of life. I use the Adlerian tool of "Lifestyle" to help clients understand their private logic better. This gives us a framework to understand how their ideas developed over their lifetime and the specific ideas that need to be adjusted for healthier self-esteem.

Rom Malik
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., R.P.
Self-esteem and self-worth are primarily derived from life experience. They can be negatively impacted by early life experiences, a bully at school, an abusive partner, demeaning employer, and so on. The work we would do would be to explore the nature of your self-esteem. You may have positive self-esteem in some areas of your life and low self-esteem in others. We will also see what sorts of internal dialogue keeps the self-esteem down. We will also work on increasing assertiveness as this goes with a lack of self-esteem.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Self-Esteem involves an individual's perception of their worth or personal value. When your self-esteem is too high or too low, that could be harmful. Excessively high self-esteem can be linked with narcism, but excessively low self-esteem can be linked with depression. Self-esteem is important for your motivation and success in life. Signs of low self-esteem are negative outlooks in life, lack of confidence, inability to express needs, focusing only on weaknesses, or excessive feelings of shame, depression, or anxiety. Therapy can help address the maladaptive thoughts linked to one's self-esteem and help develop new patterns of thought.

Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing Toronto suburb in York Region with a majority Chinese population in many of its newer residential developments, alongside significant South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, creating strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Farsi-speaking therapists who can work within East Asian and Iranian cultural frameworks. The city's affluent suburban character and proximity to Toronto's tech and finance economy create a population with both the means and motivation to seek therapy, though help-seeking stigma in some East Asian and Middle Eastern communities remains a consideration. Mackenzie Health provides institutional mental health resources, with many residents also accessing the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem. Richmond Hill's fast growth and relatively new development mean community ties can be shallow, and therapists frequently address social isolation and the challenge of belonging in a transient suburban environment.
