Having a poor self-image and thinking negatively about yourself can tear you down. But knowing your worth in Christ and tackling negative messages can lift you up and give you a renewed sense of self-worth. Dealing with past issue and messages that led to the self-esteem can prove beneficial to the client.
In my sessions focusing on improving self-esteem, I often employ elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive thoughts about themselves. Additionally, I integrate aspects of Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel valued and understood, fostering a sense of acceptance and self-worth. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist clients in cultivating mindfulness skills and accepting their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to take meaningful actions aligned with their values and build a more confident sense of self.
Self Esteem is a very common issue that clients deal with. I offer regular free Zoom seminars, which can help individuals deal with issues of anxiety and stress and can explore the origins of low self
esteem..Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000
Life Coach, Trauma-informed; PCC (Professional Certified Coach); Mindful Self-Compassion trainer
I use Mindful Self-compassion, neuroplasticity training and traditional coaching to address feelings of unworthiness, inner critic and impostor syndrome. The combination has proven effective in many instances.
In my therapeutic approach to treating self-esteem issues, I integrate various modalities tailored to each individual's needs. Through art therapy and experiential techniques, I provide creative avenues for clients to explore their self-perceptions and express their emotions. Additionally, I incorporate elements of person-centered therapy, compassion focus therapy, and narrative therapy to foster self-acceptance, build inner strength, and challenge negative self-beliefs, empowering clients to cultivate a more positive self-image.
If your self-esteem feels like it is chronically too low or it yo-yos based on what people say or don't say to you, increasing self-compassion and self-love can be valuable in building self-esteem and confidence for the long-term. Having a healthy self-esteem is important, a more fulfilling way to live, and essential in drawing in the types of relationships that we so often long for.
I like to create a supportive and empathetic environment in sessions where clients feel accepted and understood without judgment. Through active listening and reflecting back the client's experiences and emotions, I help clients gain insight into their self-perceptions and challenges. By fostering a genuine and non-directive therapeutic relationship, clients are empowered to explore their self-concept, build self-awareness, and develop a more positive sense of self.
I employ Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help clients rapidly process and resolve underlying traumas or negative beliefs affecting their self-esteem. Additionally, I integrate Attachment-based techniques to explore early relational patterns and foster healthy attachment styles, promoting a sense of security and self-worth. By incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches, I assist clients in challenging self-critical thoughts, developing self-compassion, and cultivating a more positive self-concept.
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
I use a paradigm developed by Steve Andreas, that strengthens the QUALITIES (loveable, intelligent, kind, etc.) you KNOW you have and LIKE; then enables you to transform your "ambiguous" qualities - ones that you maybe have and maybe don't, or have SOME but not ALL of the time - into things you KNOW you have. Even qualities that you DON'T like about yourself can be transformed into their opposites.
These qualities are the bulk of your SELF-CONCEPT, and be transforming them you end up having more and stronger qualities that you approve of and like - that is, self-esteem.
We will also use Wholeness and standard hypnosis to work with the unconscious emotional issues that keep you from truly liking yourself - feelings of unworthiness, undeserving, or even self-loathing.
