Insecure. Inadequate. Unworthy. Self-critical. Small. Exposed. Unlovable. Invisible. Flawed. Broken. Vulnerable.

Shame has a way of convincing you that you’re alone in it.

Shame isn’t just about feeling embarrassed—it can feel like it permeates the core of who your are. Shame can make you feel like “not enough,” constantly judging, or like you need to keep parts of yourself hidden. Maybe you hear someone’s critical voice replaying in your head, or maybe it seems like that voice originated inside of you.

Therapy for self-esteem and shame offers a place to explore these difficult thoughts and feelings, how they might have developed, and how you cope. Together, we can explore your experience, strengthen self-compassion, and begin to develop a sense of worth from the inside.
