Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
I am a licensed mental health practitioner with years of experience supporting clients with a variety of mental health concerns. If you are struggling with self esteem I can support you with a variety of highly effective therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Considered the gold standard in mental health therapy, CBT is an evidence based therapy with a long and positive history for its high degree of effectiveness in treating a broad range of mental health concerns; Although you do not need to have a mental health condition to benefit from CBT. With principles that are richly grounded in research, CBT guides you through a structured process in reframing the thoughts that underly emotional distress in favour of those that will help you achieve the results you want in all areas of life. This form of therapy has a proven record of achieving long term results through consistent practice. Working in partnership with me as your therapist, CBT will teach you how to become your own therapist — through the development of self awareness and a commitment to truth seeking. The coping skills you develop will help you gain greater control of your emotions, improve your self beliefs and relationships, and allow you to achieve your goals in tangible ways.

Deon Ambersley
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RSW
I deeply enjoy, working with clients to enhance their self-esteem and self-compassion. It's an area of focus that despite what clients show up with, we tend to have a conversation around. I work with clients to not simply convince themselves into having a greater sense of self-esteem and self-worth, but to truly understand where their beliefs come from, and identify ways in which to rewrite this.

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.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Many people have an inherent negativity bias, that is, they are much more drawn by the negative and much likelier to notice and thus remember negative life occurrences. I believe that this is a large contributing factor to low self-esteem, as it is oftentimes much easier to notice our own faults and wrong doings, while taking for granted our accomplishments and positive qualities that make us a unique inhabitant of this earth. In my work with clients, I aim to shed light on the positives in an effort to help client’s re-story their lives from a narrative of lack to one of abundance.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Self esteem refers to our sense of self; being aware of what our values are, and living accordingly. It includes acting with integrity and authenticity and taking responsibility for our lives despite what may have happened to us; if we have had difficult experiences it means being aware of the self-critical mind and replacing it with self compassion; ie being kind to yourself. You can refer to Kristen Neff’s work on self compassion or Chris Germer’s; there is also 5 minutes self compassion breaks on you tube you can refer to when things get hard; be kind, cut yourself some slack and take some chances in life; that’s important.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Lack of self-esteem is probably the most common by-product of the modern society in which an individual is considered the sole architect of one’s life. To improve self-esteem, one has to understand the gap between the ideal and the real. In psychotherapy, one has to realize the degree to which these ideals can be converged and, sometimes, with the help of the therapist, the client understands that this ideal is not their ideal, but a projection caused by family, society, culture, etc. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
