Self Esteem
Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Would you ever tell a good friend who is going through a hard time that they are weak or unlovable? Most of us struggle with valuing ourselves and practicing self-compassion despite our ability to be empathic and supportive of others. We say things to ourselves that we would never say to someone else. Learning how to esteem ourselves can be a long journey. Life's challenges can lead us to lose hope or to believe that we are broken or damaged, but this is untrue! Our true nature and potential may seem absent or hidden but it is there and it cannot be destroyed. By uncovering and rediscovering our strengths and abilities, we can overcome challenges, find meaning and purpose, and live more fulfilling lives. Through the self-discovery process we can learn to find understanding and compassion for even the most feared and hated parts of ourselves.

Cedric Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC
Most self-esteem issues go back to early attachment problems. I have taught courses on the development of the 'healthy self'.
I'd happily work with you to identify and work through problems of self-esteem or the sense of defectiveness and shame.

What is Self-esteem?
Your self-esteem is how much you respect yourself, how desirable or worthy you feel, and how confident you are that you can face life’s challenges. When you have strong self-esteem, you feel that you can accomplish your goals, and you expect others to treat you with the dignity and respect that everyone deserves.
When you have weak or low self-esteem, rather than respecting yourself you talk down to yourself. Instead of feeling desirable, you feel ashamed; instead of believing you can accomplish your desires, you feel powerless. This feeling of worthlessness and lack of control grows into feelings of vulnerability, loneliness, and guilt.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Are you done living a life of comparison, constantly checking off external measures of success, or regularly seeking external validation?
Self-esteem is often a central component in therapy and is frequently correlated with other mental health symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we see the goal of building a sense of intrinsic value as a key component to contentment and wellness. The treatment for building (or rebuilding) self-esteem begins with a deep exploration of the key life events and experiences that hindered the development of a connected CORE self, or began to chip away or destroy our core sense of worth. Some frequent ways that our self-esteem is negatively impacted are the following: early experiences of inadequate parenting, bullying, negative cultural messages, experiences of rejection/abandonment, the impact of social media, trauma, abuse, neglect, or lacking the tools of self-compassion or self-soothing. Here at Denver Wellness Counseling, our therapist often address these experiences with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to decrease the power of these memories and install a more positive self-concept. Treatment gains are then integrated within the present and future context.

Rachel Fields
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Do you doubt yourself more than you would like? Do you feel like an imposter at work? Are you afraid to be yourself in relationships or wonder what that even means? Do you feel you need to do things for others to be loved or valued rather than simply being loved and accepted for who you are? It's time to look inward and begin to give yourself the love and attention you likely have not received enough of in your life. I've been through it and I can help you do it too.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem is often linked to past unhealthy attachments and a negative internal dialogue. Evidenced based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help us see how the power of attachments and thoughts impact our internal voice and how we talk to ourselves.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of helping people in my practice is restoring a positive self image, self worth, and discovering inherent strengths. I like to use cognitive restructuring but also mindfulness visualization to build up an ideal version of oneself.

Low self-esteem can exist for a variety of reasons, but is particularly prevalent among adolescents and young adults and can significantly impact quality of life, interpersonal relationships, decision making, and mental health.
