Therapy for Self-Esteem
When You Don’t Feel Good About Yourself, Everything Feels Harder.
Maybe you constantly second, guess yourself. Maybe no matter how hard you try, it never feels like you’re good enough. You compare yourself to others, you replay mistakes in your head, and sometimes you wonder if you’ll ever feel confident or comfortable in your own skin.
If any of this sounds familiar, I want you to hear this: it’s not your fault. Low self-esteem doesn’t just happen—it comes from experiences where you didn’t feel seen, valued, or supported. But the story you’ve been telling yourself about who you are… can be rewritten.
At For The Love of You Therapy, we help teens, young adults, and adults rebuild self-worth from the inside out. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to pretend, where you can be honest about how you really feel, and start learning to see yourself with more compassion, confidence, and respect.
Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back, challenge negative self-talk, and build practical tools to strengthen your self-esteem. We’ll work on setting healthy boundaries, recognizing your strengths, and showing up in life without constant self-doubt weighing you down.
You deserve to feel good about who you are. You deserve to like yourself.
Let’s talk about how therapy can help you build the confidence to live your life fully.
Reach out today for a free consultation and take the first step toward a healthier relationship with yourself.

FAQ
What exactly is self-esteem, and why does it matter?
Self-esteem is the way you see and value yourself. It’s about how much confidence you have in your abilities, your worth, and your place in the world. When your self-esteem is healthy, you’re better able to handle challenges, set boundaries, and build strong relationships. When it’s low, everyday situations can feel overwhelming, and you may doubt yourself more often than you’d like. In therapy, we work together to strengthen your self-worth so you can feel more secure and empowered in your daily life.
How do I know if I have low self-esteem?
Some signs of low self-esteem include:
-
Frequently doubting yourself or your decisions
-
Struggling to accept compliments
-
Comparing yourself to others and feeling “less than”
-
Avoiding challenges out of fear of failure
-
Feeling like you’re “not good enough,” even when others see your strengths.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people experience these feelings, and therapy can help you shift those patterns and build a healthier relationship with yourself.
What causes low self-esteem in the first place?
Low self-esteem can develop for many reasons. It might come from early childhood experiences, such as criticism, neglect, or a lack of emotional support. It can also be shaped by social comparison, perfectionism, negative self-talk, or past trauma. Sometimes, we carry old beliefs about ourselves without realizing how much they still affect us today. In therapy, we’ll explore where these patterns come from and create practical ways to replace them with more supportive and empowering beliefs.
How does low self-esteem affect my daily life and relationships?
Low self-esteem can impact more than just how you feel about yourself. It can make it harder to set boundaries, speak up for your needs, or trust others. Some people find themselves seeking constant reassurance or struggling in relationships because they fear rejection or judgment. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to work through these challenges and build a stronger, more confident sense of self.
Can therapy help me improve my self-esteem?
Yes, absolutely. Therapy can be incredibly helpful if you’ve been feeling stuck in patterns of self-doubt or self-criticism. Together, we’ll identify the beliefs and habits that hold you back and replace them with healthier, more compassionate ways of thinking. You’ll learn tools to handle challenges, practice self-compassion, and rebuild trust in yourself. Over time, this creates lasting changes in the way you feel, think, and interact with the world.
