Self-Esteem Therapy in Bergen County

Don’t let low self-esteem hold you back. Our therapists will help you stop the negative self-talk.

Self Esteem

You doubt your decisions.
You avoid trying new things because you think you’ll fail.
You worry that people are mad at you, even if they don’t act like they are.
You can’t take a compliment.
You stay in toxic relationships because you don’t think you deserve better.

Do you identify with any of the above?

The voice in your head can be your worst critic

It’s normal to sometimes lack confidence or not feel great about yourself. But it’s not healthy to constantly berate yourself, question everything you say or do, compare yourself to others, or worry if people will like the real you. The voice in your head should not say things you would never say to a friend.

Constant self-negativity can take a toll on your life, causing a variety of issues, including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Lack of Joy
  • Anger
  • Sadness
  • Loneliness
  • Eating Issues
  • Self-Harm

You don’t have to continue to suffer from low self-esteem.

It’s time to show yourself compassion

Finding value in who you are is all about healing the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself. By recognizing and embracing your positive traits and no longer focusing on your mistakes or how others see you, you can start replacing the negative beliefs about yourself with new ones that allow for self-acceptance.

Through therapy, you’ll develop a sense of self-worth, increase self-confidence, and enhance decision-making. Our therapists will empower you to shift the inner narrative you’ve been telling yourself, overcome the self-doubt, stop the negative self-talk, and nurture a positive self-image.

How therapy can help you bolster your self-esteem

We’ll help you discover the root causes of your low self-esteem and provide the tools so you can put a stop to the negative thoughts, silence your inner critic, and find self-love.

In your therapy sessions, you’ll learn to:

  • Create a positive view of yourself by discovering your unique values and silencing your inner critic
  • Set and maintain healthy boundaries by acknowledging your needs, becoming aware of the people in your life that are not respecting them, and effectively addressing that disrespect
  • Stop people pleasing and become more assertive
  • Cultivate compassion for yourself

Your therapist will use a mix of therapy styles to create a plan customized to your unique circumstances. Through therapy, you’ll learn to love yourself and stop apologizing for the real you.
