Specialized Self-Esteem Therapy in Brockville, ON
Self-esteem isn't just about "feeling good"—it's a deep-seated belief in your own value, competence, and worthiness of love and respect. At St. Lawrence Psychotherapy & Wellness, we provide self-esteem therapy in Brockville to help individuals move past self-doubt and the "inner critic."
Many of us carry internalized messages from the past that tell us we aren't "enough." Our therapists work with you to deconstruct these negative beliefs and replace them with a compassionate, realistic, and empowering view of who you are.
Core Transformation
We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy to help you identify the root of self-critical thoughts and build a kinder internal dialogue.

Self-Esteem Therapy FAQs
Answering common questions about building self-worth.
Q. Is self-esteem different from confidence?
Yes. Confidence is often about your belief in your ability to perform a task or skill. Self-esteem is a deeper, more global sense of your value as a person, regardless of your performance or achievements.
Q. Can therapy really change how I think about myself?
Absolutely. Through consistent work in therapy, you can learn to recognize cognitive distortions (biased thoughts) and replace them with more balanced, evidence-based, and compassionate perspectives.
Q. How long does it take to build self-esteem?
Building self-worth is a journey of unlearning old patterns. While many clients feel a shift in perspective within a few months, deepening that sense of worth often involves ongoing practice and integration of new habits.
