Self-Esteem Therapy in Chicago & Online
You do not have to earn your worth.
Self-esteem therapy can help you understand the beliefs, experiences, and relationships that shaped how you see yourself. Together, we can make room for a steadier sense of self that is not built on perfection, approval, or performance.
A different relationship with yourself
Self-esteem is more than confidence.
Low self-esteem can show up quietly. You may accomplish a great deal and still feel inadequate, replay mistakes long after they happen, struggle to accept praise, or rely on other people to tell you that you are doing enough.
Therapy offers a place to understand where those patterns began and how they continue to shape your choices, relationships, boundaries, and inner voice. The goal is not to become endlessly positive. It is to become more honest, compassionate, and secure in who you are.
You can become someone you trust, rather than someone you constantly have to prove.

Practice something new
