Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Low self-esteem can affect how you see yourself, the relationships you choose, and your ability to recognize your own needs and strengths. I help clients explore the experiences and internalized beliefs that have shaped their sense of self, particularly those rooted in early relationships. Through somatic and relational psychotherapy, we work toward greater self-acceptance, confidence, and trust in your own experiences.

Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Feelings of self-worth are often one of the main things that can bring someone for counselling. I work to rebuild self-identity and self-esteem through looking at the interconnected ways in which self-image may have been damaged and working to rebuild these fractured structures through an integrative approach.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I'm Kate, an experienced Individual & Couples Therapist specialized in working with adults who have experienced interpersonal trauma. Interpersonal trauma is any unhealthy interaction between yourself and another person and it could occur at any time in your life, yet its impact is felt in the present. You may feel sad, anxious, lack a feeling of self-worth, scared of what’s coming next, struggling in your relationships. Interpersonal Trauma often creates invisible shackles which result in a feeling of being stuck and powerless. We will work together to navigate the impact on your self-esteem and feeling of self-worth to empower you to create an improved self-concept and the life experience you desire.

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.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Low self-esteem often stems from old emotional patterns and body-held messages about safety and worth. I help clients rewire these patterns by combining insight work with nervous-system grounding. Over time, you develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Self-esteem refers to the perception and evaluation of one’s own worth or value. It plays a crucial role in how we approach life, relationships, and challenges. A healthy self-esteem fosters confidence, resilience, and a positive mindset, enabling individuals to pursue their goals and face obstacles with determination. On the other hand, low self-esteem can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and negativity, impacting both personal and professional aspects of life. Building self-esteem involves self-reflection, setting realistic goals, celebrating achievements, and practicing self-compassion. Surrounding yourself with supportive people and engaging in activities that bring joy can also enhance self-worth. Remember, cultivating a positive self-image is a journey that takes time and effort, but it can lead to a more fulfilling and empowered life.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The way we feel about ourselves is the foundation to any achievement in life, whether personal or professional. The way we treat ourselves will set the tone for every relationship we have. This is why cultivating a strong self-esteem is crucial to fulfilling your life goals, and to living a happier life. I guide my clients to address the roots of their lack of self-love and feeling of worthlessness in a safe and compassionate space. Using practical tools, I help people become more accepting and loving of themselves, while challenging the negative core beliefs they have been living with for years. You, as much as anyone else in the world, deserve your love and compassion. I'm here to help you find it.

ThriveWell Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW / RP
Our minds are really good at telling us that we are not worthy. Often, this develops as a safeguard from rejection, failure, or "big" emotions. Self-esteem shapes how we see our place in the world, but the mind can lose sight of this, focusing on doubt, comparison, or past experiences. If you've felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or struggled to see your value, you're not alone. Self-esteem isn't fixed - it can be explored and rebuilt. At Thrivewell Counselling, we use approaches like CBT, IFS and trauma-informed care to support you in building a healthier relationship with yourself.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
You are not broken—you just have parts of you that forgot how worthy you are.
Low self-esteem often stems from early experiences that left parts of us believing we weren’t good enough, lovable, or deserving. These beliefs can quietly shape how we show up in relationships, work, and even how we talk to ourselves. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you connect with the parts of you that carry shame, self-doubt, or the need to constantly prove your worth. As someone who has walked this healing path myself, I know what it takes to rebuild that connection to your True Self—the part of you that knows you are enough just as you are.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Many struggles with self-esteem are rooted in a deeper belief of “not being good enough,” which often develops in early environments where one’s true self was not fully accepted. Instead of focusing on boosting confidence through achievement or approval, I help clients reconnect with a more stable sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. Together, we explore these underlying narratives, approach them with compassion rather than judgment, and support a shift toward greater authenticity and a more grounded sense of self.

What would life be like without the inner critic, without the belief that there is something wrong with you - that you're not enough or that you don't fit in?
What would it be like it you could just be yourself without the need of others' approval? If you spoke up for yourself with your partner or at meetings? What if you were not paralyzed by shame or guilt?
What if all of this were possible?
Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.

Kim David
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
Difficulties with self-esteem can shape how we see ourselves, what we expect from relationships and how confidently we move through the world. Therapy can help explore where these beliefs developed, how they continue to influence the present, and what a more grounded relationship with yourself might look like.
