Therapy for Self Esteem, Perfectionism, & People-Pleasing

 You may appear capable and successful while privately feeling that you are never doing enough. Low self-esteem, perfectionism and people-pleasing can make it difficult to rest, make decisions, set boundaries or feel secure in relationships.     

You may be looking for support if you experience:

•    Persistent self-criticism

•    Fear of disappointing other people

•    Difficulty saying no or setting boundaries

•    Needing approval or reassurance

•    Comparing yourself constantly with others

•    Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions

•    Avoiding opportunities because of fear of failure

•    Overworking or becoming distressed by mistakes

•    Feeling guilty when prioritizing yourself     •    Difficulty identifying your own wants and needs

•    Staying in unhealthy situations to avoid conflict

•    Feeling that your worth depends on productivity or achievement 

Our therapists can help you understand where these patterns began and how they continue to affect your choices. Therapy may focus on boundaries, assertive communication, self-compassion, identity, emotional regulation and developing a more balanced relationship with expectations.  

Treatment may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy-informed strategies and trauma-informed care.
