It’s time to quiet that inner critic.
Therapy for self-esteem in Denver, Colorado.
Do you say things to yourself that you would NEVER say to a friend? A family member? Even a stranger??
Are you worried people will find out who the “real you” is, so you limit social interactions?
You can’t remember the last time you felt “good enough". You may be able to pin point exactly when this switch of confidence happened, or could be a result of many instances over time. Some days its a quiet whisper, yet most days this inner critic is screaming at you. When people compliment you, big or small, that voice is right there telling you they are “just being nice” or they don’t know the “REAL you.”
Comparisons to others is constant and everyone seems to have something you don’t…. confidence, happiness, success. You think “Why can’t I be like that?” or “What’s wrong with me that I don’t have that?” You can’t see the successes you have had, without downplaying them or feeling like they aren’t yours.
You overthink every conversation, every social interaction and worry if you are “annoying” or said something dumb. You try to hide it all and seem to be “put together” to family and friends. Inside you feel like a fraud.

Stop fighting yourself and being your own worst enemy .
Reduce criticism and replace it with self-compassion.
Learn skills to build self confidence and experience lasting change.
You’re ready to shift being your own worst critic to your strongest ally.
How therapy works
You can learn to embrace who you are and pursue the life you deserve.
Therapy for self-esteem works by helping you understand and address the underlying causes of your low self-worth, while equipping you with tools to build a healthier and more confident sense of self. The process often begins with exploring past experiences, such as criticism, rejection, or unmet emotional needs, that may have shaped negative beliefs about oneself. These negative narratives about ourselves that aren’t true are devastating. We can use EMDR to process these past experiences and develop and integrate narratives about yourself that are true and empowering.
We will also focus on identifying and challenging distorted thought patterns, such as self-criticism or perfectionism, and replacing them with more compassionate and realistic perspectives. Through techniques like cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and self-compassion exercises, you learn to break the cycle of negative self-talk and embrace your inherent value. Additionally, therapy supports confidence-building by encouraging small, achievable goals and celebrating successes, helping you recognize your strengths and capabilities. Over time, self-esteem therapy fosters resilience, emotional well-being, and the ability to approach life with a greater sense of self-worth and empowerment.
