Therapy for Self-Esteem in Phoenix, Arizona
You’ve spent years being hard on yourself. The doubt, the inner critic, the constant feeling that you’re never quite enough… It’s exhausting.
And maybe, you’ve tried all the things: self-help books, affirmations, journaling. But something deeper still feels stuck.
At Evolve Therapy, I help millennial adults in Phoenix and throughout Arizona gently untangle the roots of low self-worth, so you can move from self-criticism to self-connection.
What If the Voice in Your Head Wasn’t Always Tearing You Down?
Low self-esteem isn’t just about “feeling bad about yourself.” It can show up in subtle ways:
Overthinking and second-guessing everything
Shrinking in relationships or work settings
People-pleasing, perfectionism, or burnout
Avoiding new things out of fear that you’ll fail
These patterns often trace back to early life experiences, especially if you grew up feeling unseen, judged, or like love had to be earned.
This isn’t just in your head. It lives in your brain stem and nervous system, too. That’s where the healing begins —and we can heal this!
A Nervous System-Informed Approach to Healing Shame + Low Self-Esteem
As a trauma therapist trained in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), EMDR, and somatic work, I offer a gentle, attuned process to help you reconnect with your inherent worth, not just intellectually, but deep in your body.
This isn’t about fixing you. You’re not broken. This is about remembering who you were before the world taught you to shrink.
Together, we’ll:
Uncover where shame took root
Process the deeper pain or attachment wounds beneath the inner critic
Rewire how your brain and body respond to triggers
Build a more compassionate, empowered inner voice
What Therapy for Self-Esteem Looks Like
Each session is tailored to you, but many clients start by building resources — things like self-compassion, boundary clarity, and nervous system regulation. From there, we may use:
DBR to process past experiences where your worth was diminished
Parts work to heal inner conflicts and self-sabotage
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift the thought patterns that keep you stuck in self-criticism
Somatic tools to anchor a felt sense of safety and self-worth
You Don’t Have to Stay Stuck in Self-Doubt
If you’re in Phoenix, Scottsdale, or anywhere in Arizona and struggling with low self-esteem, therapy can help you come home to yourself.
Whether you’ve known this is a pattern for years or it’s something you’re just starting to explore, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
