Self-Esteem Therapy in Grand Rapids, MI
Self-esteem plays a central role in how we see ourselves and interact with the world. When self-esteem is low, it can affect every aspect of life—from relationships and career success to mental and emotional well-being. At Second Story Counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based self-esteem therapy in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to help individuals build confidence, break negative thinking patterns, and create a healthier relationship with themselves.
Understanding Low Self-Esteem
Low self-esteem often develops over time through life experiences, criticism, comparison, or unmet expectations. It can manifest as persistent self-doubt, fear of failure, difficulty accepting compliments, or feeling “not good enough.” These beliefs may hold you back from pursuing goals, setting boundaries, or enjoying meaningful connections.
People with low self-esteem often struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or people-pleasing behaviors. You may constantly second-guess yourself or have a harsh inner critic that undermines your sense of worth.
How Self-Esteem Therapy Can Help
Therapy creates a safe and supportive space to explore the roots of low self-esteem and begin challenging unhelpful thought patterns. At Second Story Counseling, our therapists use approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths-based work, and mindfulness techniques to help you identify and reframe limiting beliefs.
Together, we work to:
- Develop a more balanced and compassionate inner voice
- Recognize your strengths and values
- Build healthier boundaries and self-acceptance
- Strengthen resilience and confidence in decision-making
