How does low self-worth manifest?
Low self-worth can manifest in various ways, from constant self-criticism and people-pleasing to difficulty setting boundaries and feeling worthy of love and happiness.
Our therapists will work collaboratively with you to understand the underlying causes of your self-esteem struggles, which may stem from early childhood experiences, societal pressures, or past traumas.
We’ll help you recognize the patterns that keep you stuck and develop new ways of thinking and relating to yourself.

Techniques used in self-worth therapy
We utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches to help you build a stronger sense of self-worth. These may include:
Internal family systems (IFS)
IFS therapy views your mind as having different “parts,” some of which may hold negative beliefs impacting your self-worth. By understanding these parts, IFS helps you heal underlying wounds and cultivate self-compassion, leading to improved self-esteem.
EMDR For self-worth
EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation to help reprocess traumatic memories that contribute to low self-worth. This can reduce the intensity of those memories, allowing you to cultivate self-compassion.
mindful self-compassion
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) helps you relate to yourself with understanding, especially during difficult moments. This allows you to acknowledge your imperfections and challenges with greater acceptance, fostering a stronger sense of self-worth.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment and committing to actions that align with your values. This can help you break free from self-limiting beliefs and pursue a meaningful life.
