Therapy for Self-Esteem in Ottawa & Across Ontario
Build a kinder, steadier relationship with yourself, and loosen the grip of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome.
Low self-esteem can sound like a constant inner critic, a feeling of never being enough, or a habit of putting everyone else first. It can hold you back at work, in relationships, and in going after what you want.
For many BIPOC adults, self-worth is also shaped by messages from school, work, media, and community about who belongs and who has to work twice as hard. Dilys Chuinkam uses a strengths-based approach to help you understand where these beliefs came from and build a more grounded sense of who you are.
What We Can Work On
- Harsh self-criticism and negative self-talk
- Imposter syndrome and fear of being "found out"
- People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
- Comparing yourself to others
- Body image and identity concerns
- Internalized messages about race, culture, or worth
