Austin Therapists Specializing in Self-Esteem Therapy

Building Healthy Self-Esteem at Every Stage of Life

Self-esteem is the way we perceive ourselves and how we navigate the world. Healthy self-esteem is crucial for children, teens, and adults alike, as it helps us build strong relationships, set and achieve goals, and approach life with confidence. When we feel good about ourselves, we are more resilient, better able to handle challenges, and more likely to reach our full potential.

However, life events and struggles can lead to lower self-esteem, whether you’re a child, teen, or adult. Children may experience bullying or struggles at school that impact their sense of worth. Teenagers might face social pressures, academic challenges, or struggles with body image. Adults can experience low self-esteem due to work stress, relationship issues, or past trauma. These experiences can lead to feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, or isolation, making it harder to form meaningful relationships or pursue new opportunities.
