Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Building Self-Esteem: From Surviving to Thriving
Self-esteem is the foundation of mental health. It influences how we handle stress, how we interact in relationships, and how we pursue our dreams. Our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists specialize in helping both adults and youth (ages 10+) dismantle the "inner critic" and build a resilient sense of self.
How We Help You Rebuild Worth
We use evidence-based tools to help you or your child move past shame and self-doubt:
Identifying the Root: Through a full clinical assessment, we look at where self-esteem was wounded—whether through trauma, high-conflict family systems, or societal pressure.
Specialized Modalities: We utilize CBT to challenge negative thought patterns, IFS (Internal Family Systems) to understand the "parts" of you that feel "not enough," and Brainspotting to process the deep-seated emotions tied to your identity.
Youth-Focused Engagement: For clients ages 10+, we use specialized interactive software that helps young people explore their identity and strengths in a medium that feels comfortable and engaging.
Our Collaborative Process
Rebuilding self-esteem is a partnership. We don’t just tell you that you are worthy; we help you feel it.
Current Needs Assessment: We determine how low self-esteem is currently impacting your life (e.g., social anxiety, codependency, or lack of motivation).
Goal Setting: We define what "confidence" looks like for you specifically—is it setting a boundary at work? Making a new friend? Trying a new hobby?
Treatment Planning: Together, we discuss the clinical plan to reach those goals, ensuring the pace feels safe and supportive.
The Role of Support & Accessibility
We believe that seeking help for self-worth shouldn't be a source of stress.
The Right Fit: Use our free consultation to meet your therapist and ensure you feel safe and understood.
Convenience: With online therapy and 7-day-a-week scheduling, you can prioritize your growth on your own terms.
Insurance: We accept all Minnesota insurance groups, making high-level clinical care accessible to all.
