Therapy for Self-Esteem in New York
Feel Good. Look Great. Be You.
Do you find yourself constantly second-guessing your worth, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re just not “good enough”? If so, please know — you’re not alone. Struggles with self-esteem can quietly affect every area of life, from relationships and careers to the way you show up for yourself.
At Heart Mind Soul Practice, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and worthy—exactly as they are. Our warm, experienced therapists in NYC offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can gently explore the roots of low self-esteem and begin building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Through guided support and personalized therapy, you can start to quiet the inner critic and nurture a voice of self-compassion. With time, healing, and the right tools, you’ll learn to embrace your worth and live with greater confidence, clarity, and peace.
What Is Low Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is the lens through which you view yourself—your abilities, your value, and your place in the world. When this lens becomes clouded by criticism, doubt, or past experiences, it can lead to ongoing feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, or self-blame.
Signs of low self-esteem can include:
Constant self-criticism or negative self-talk
Difficulty accepting compliments or praise
Fear of failure or rejection
People-pleasing behaviors or avoiding conflict
Comparing yourself unfavorably to others
Feeling unworthy of love, success, or happiness
Struggling to make decisions or assert boundaries
These patterns often begin early in life—shaped by childhood experiences, relationships, or cultural messages—but they don’t have to define you. Therapy can help you untangle the past and step into a more empowered present.
What We Help You With: Common Self-Esteem Struggles
