It feels hard to

yourself.

Do any of these sound familiar?

You have aspirations of applying to your dream school or putting your name in for a promotion, but you second guess yourself and whether you are truly qualified.

 

It feels easier to stay with the status quo than to go after an opportunity and potentially fail. 

You take a long time to get ready in the morning because you try on outfit after outfit, searching for something that makes you feel good so you don’t spend all day thinking about how you look.

 

It feels like you will never come close to the filtered posts on TikTok and Instagram.

You leave a meeting wishing you would have spoken up instead of staying silent, but in the moment it was too hard to voice your opinions and concerns.

 

It feels like others wouldn't have listened anyway, even if you could clearly articulate your point. 

You get stuck on every mistake you make and find many areas in which you fall short. It seems like there is an endless record playing in your head that points out your all of your flaws. ​

Focus on Collaboration and Connection

Feelings of  insecurity can be difficult to talk about, and we will work together to build a safe and trusting relationship to discuss your relationship with yourself. You know yourself best and what will work for you, I know about the change process and self-confidence. Together, we will help you foster  self-acceptance.

Use Our Time to Practice Skills
In-the-Moment

Building confidence is a skill and one that we will work on together in session. We may use mindfulness strategies, conversations based on our relationship, or self-compassion techniques to help you better understand yourself and gain tools for self-acceptance.

Consider and Incorporate Context, Culture, and Systems

There are many reasons why you may have low confidence. Maybe others in your family or community have told you that you aren’t good enough. Maybe the broader US culture gives you this message based on your identities. Together, we will examine how these factors are influencing your challenges.

Start With Your Existing Strengths and Identify New Ones

It may be hard to know what your strengths are right now, but we will work together to identify the things you are good at and the things to be proud of. From there, we will capitalize on your strengths to make changes that will ultimately increase your self-confidence.

There are some difficulties I have expertise in that are nested within self-confidence therapy.

Body Image

Many people feel insecure with how their body looks, especially with the barrage of filters used on social media. Therapy for self-confidence can help you have a better relationship with your body and be less focused on your appearance and perceived flaws.

Perfectionism

Low self-confidence often goes hand-in-hand with perfectionism because when your standards are too high, you often don't feel good enough. Self-confidence therapy can help you better understand your perfectionism, set more realistic expectations for yourself, and be kinder to yourself.
