Stress and Self-Esteem Therapy in Austin, TX 

In today’s world, there are plenty of opportunities for stress and low self-worth to manifest – the two often walk hand-in-hand. As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate stress, build self-esteem, and cultivate confidence. I understand that what triggers these feelings is uniquely personal, and my guidance is specifically tailored to your needs. 

My approach focuses on helping you understand the root causes of your feelings and develop a new relationship with yourself based on acceptance, love, and compassion. Changing how you relate to yourself creates powerful shifts in all domains of life, including relationships. The need to redirect attention to create distance for your low self-image is let go. You can receive feedback without becoming defensive or spiraling, take accountability, build self-trust, and feel empowered to pursue your passions. Perhaps most importantly, you are confident with yourself regardless of whether someone approves of you or not.

Therapy for Stress Management

Stress can feel overwhelming, whether related to work/imposter syndrome, relationships and break-ups, or life changes. It may be a natural part of everyday life, but it shouldn’t be constant. Left unchecked, it can significantly impact your physical, mental, and emotional health. In our counseling sessions, I’ll provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can better understand your stress and help equip you with powerful coping strategies. 

Recognizing When You Need Support Dealing with Stress

It’s not just in your head. Chronic stress can manifest in a number of ways, such as:

  • Insomnia
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Difficulty regulating your feelings 
  • Struggling to maintain or communicate in relationships
  • Excessive worrying, feelings of anxiety, or depression
  • Digestive complaints
  • Cardiovascular issues
  • Pelvic floor issues
  • Hair loss
  • Poor posture, misalignment, and bodily pain due to tight muscles

It can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. Let’s work together to reclaim ease and joy in your life. 

Therapy for Self-Esteem

Low self-worth is pervasive. It can impact every area of life, from personal relationships to career aspirations.  The negative inner voice overrides your every thought, but that cycle can be broken.

As your therapist, I will guide you in reclaiming your sense of value and empowering yourself to pursue your goals with confidence. Together, we’ll explore limiting beliefs, attachment wounds, and negative patterns that may be holding you back, and develop strategies to build a more positive, grounded sense of self. 

How Low Self-Esteem Presents Itself 

Everyone has moments of low confidence and self-doubt. Low self-esteem, however, impacts how you perceive yourself and your behaviors. If you struggle with the following, it may be time to consider therapy for self-esteem. 

  • Feelings of inadequacy 
  • Avoiding social situations or pursuing new activities
  • Persistent negative self-talk
  • Comparing yourself negatively against others
  • Negative body image
  • Feeling a lack of control in life
  • Fear of failure
  • Pelvic floor issues
  • Perfectionism
