Self Esteem
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Low or shaky self-esteem is rarely fixed by superficial positive thinking; it's often rooted in old relational injuries and pervasive cultural narratives that tell you that you don't belong or aren't enough. Through a gentle, somatic lens in my online therapy practice, I help you uncover and witness the protective stories that cloud your true value. As we slowly unpack these patterns, you will begin to build authentic self-worth and self-awareness from the inside out.

Transforming Emotions
Psychologist
Do you feel like an imposter? Do you secretly fear that you're not good enough? Do you worry that your true self is unlovable? Did you know that these feelings often stem from past attachment wounds and the self-protective strategies we often develop to avoid additional emotional pain? Sometimes, these strategies become resistant to change, and what was once helpful becomes harmful. Using integrative therapy techniques from a foundation of emotion focused therapy our therapists are trained to help you get to the root of your self-esteem issues so that you can grow into feeling and being your best self. Contact us today for a free consultation to help us match you to the right therapist for your unique needs.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
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.

Low self esteem can affect the way an individual views themselves in the context of their relationships,the world around them and their confidence in themselves. This may lead to avoidant behaviours, negative thoughts and self talk and low confidence to try new things. Therapeutic interventions can help identify and positively change core beliefs and increase confidence.

Shemina Jeraj
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Having a good self-esteem is important if you would like to achieve your goals in life. It all starts from self. Your self is your vehicle through which you navigate life. If the vehicle is weak then it won't reach far. Therapy can help strengthen the self so it can get most out of life.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We often hold stuck concepts of ourselves as problematic or not good enough. Our minds may focus on thoughts, feelings, and stories, that seem to confirm we are not good enough, unloveable, or unworthy in some way. The danger is when we define ourselves by these beliefs. In psychotherapy we support you to shift your perspective and thought processes. We work to unburden the parts of you that hold these painful beliefs, in order to move towards self-confidence, self-compassion and a feeling of wholeness.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
