Many people struggle with feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, or a lack of confidence. At Brentwood Therapy Collective, our clinicians provide self-esteem therapy designed to help you reconnect with your strengths, develop a more positive self-concept, and create lasting change.

Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, at work, or within yourself, psychotherapy for self esteem can help you feel more grounded, resilient, and confident.

Understanding Self-Esteem

Low self esteem can show up in many ways:

  • Constant self-criticism or a negative self-image

  • Feeling inadequate or asking yourself, “Why do I feel inadequate?”

  • Doubting your value in relationships and struggling with self worth in relationships

  • A persistent sense of low self worth or loss of confidence at work

  • Wondering, “Why do I have low self esteem?” or “Where does low self esteem come from?”

These are not uncommon experiences, but they can impact daily life in profound ways. Signs of low self esteem in a man or in a woman might look different, yet both can lead to isolation, anxiety, or even depression.

Research shows that low self esteem can cause depression, and depression can also lower self esteem in return, creating a difficult cycle.
