What is Self-esteem?

Self-esteem is a common reason people seek therapy. The experience can look different from one person to another: symptoms may be mostly emotional, physical, cognitive (thought-based), or relational.

On this page you’ll find an overview of Self-esteem, typical signs, and what support options can look like.

Therapy for Self-esteem is typically collaborative: you set goals, explore patterns, and build practical tools for change.
