Your self esteem usually develops during childhood
That means, any feelings of low self-esteem have probably been with you for quite some time. Self esteem therapy and counseling can help you understand the root causes of your feelings and address them head-on.
When you have high self-esteem, you feel confident, consider yourself valuable and respect yourself. This leads to a more positive sense of well-being.
Low self-esteem is associated with self-doubt, self-criticism, social isolation, suppressed anger and shame. It can also be a symptom of other conditions, including anxiety and depression. Self esteem therapy can help.

How Does Self Esteem Therapy Work?
At Well Clinic, our compassionate counselors offer an integrated approach to self esteem therapy. In addition to traditional talk therapy, your treatment plan might involve incorporating mindfulness and meditation practices, acupuncture treatments and nutritional supplements into your life. It could also include one of these powerful methods:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will work with you to monitor negative self-beliefs, faulty thoughts and assumptions if you prefer to consider some of the negative thought processes you feel keep you trapped.
Psychodynamic Therapy for low self-esteem can help you find a new and objective view of your personal history … which allows you to more clearly see your present situation without feeling blamed. The process also can offer an opportunity to see if early patterns and habits are repeated in your current relationships, both at home and in the wider world.
