Does this sound like you?

• Struggling with constant self-doubt or comparison

• Feeling like you’re never doing “enough” — no matter how hard you try

• People-pleasing to avoid conflict or rejection

• Difficulty setting boundaries because you worry about disappointing others

• Holding back from opportunities out of fear of failure or judgment

​

If this feels familiar, therapy can help you build confidence and feel more secure in who you are.

Our Approach to Self-Esteem & Confidence Therapy

We’ll work together to:

• Explore the roots of your self-doubt and inner critic

• Rebuild self-worth through compassion and realistic self-talk

• Learn boundary-setting and people-pleasing recovery skills

• Practice confidence in daily life, relationships, and work

• Address co-occurring struggles like anxiety, trauma, or ADHD that affect confidence

What to Expect

In your first session, we’ll:

​

1. Explore how self-esteem struggles show up in your life

2. Identify your goals — whether that’s setting boundaries, building confidence, or quieting self-doubt

3. Begin creating practical tools you can start using right away

​

You’ll leave with a bit more hope, clarity, and a path toward feeling more secure in yourself.

Where Low Confidence Comes From

Self-esteem challenges don’t appear out of nowhere. They often come from:

​

• Childhood experiences, criticism, or lack of support

• Trauma, bullying, or toxic relationships that made you doubt your worth

• Perfectionism and people-pleasing patterns

• Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression that impacts confidence

​

At Fika, we understand self-esteem not as a “personality flaw,” but as the result of lived experiences that can be unlearned and healed.

Modalities We Use

EMDR, ACT, Polyvagal-informed therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, breathwork, attachment based, CBT, DBT skills, self-compassion approaches, and IFS and parts work (ego states).

Your therapist will let you know what they draw from.

You are worthy of feeling confident and secure.

Therapy can help you step out of shame and into your authentic self.
