Low Self-Esteem

At Sage Mental Health, , we understand how deeply low self-esteem can shape your experience of life, relationships, and well-being. When you struggle with feelings of self-doubt, overwhelm, or being “not enough,” it isn’t a character flaw — it’s a signal that support, empathy, and effective strategies can make all the difference. Our compassionate team is here to walk with you through healing, building resilience, and cultivating self-trust

What Is Low Self-Esteem?

Low self-esteem shows up in many ways: persistent self-criticism, fear of failure, difficulty trusting yourself or others, people-pleasing, or feeling unworthy of love and success. These experiences are common, but they don’t have to be permanent. With gentle exploration and evidence-informed care, you can begin to shift old messages about self-worth and step into greater confidence and emotional freedom.

Who We Help

Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of past trauma, managing daily stress, or simply wondering how to feel more grounded in yourself, our team supports adults across a wide range of experiences. We provide care for individuals, couples, and parents navigating challenging transitions — each with warmth, confidentiality, and respect.

Tailored Therapy Options at Sage

At Sage Mental Health, we offer a blend of therapeutic modalities that meet you where you are:

EMDR Therapy in Vancouver

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, research-backed approach that helps people resolve the emotional impact of distressing memories and beliefs — including those that fuel low self-esteem. Our practitioners trained in EMDR therapy in Vancouver guide you safely through processing painful experiences that may have shaped how you see yourself, so that old wounds lose their emotional charge and your sense of self-worth can grow.

Couples Counselling Vancouver

Low self-esteem doesn’t just affect individuals — it ripples into relationships. Patterns of withdrawal, fear of conflict, or over-accommodation can strain connection and intimacy. Our couples counselling services in Vancouver offer a safe space to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and better understand relational patterns. Whether you’re facing recurring disagreements or deep emotional disconnection, we help you learn new skills for closeness, respect, and mutual support.

Support for Mothers and Families

Parenting and transition to parenthood are deeply meaningful, but they can also stir strong emotional challenges — especially around identity, self-confidence, and self-worth.

Maternal Mental Health in Vancouver

Motherhood comes with unique pressures, and sometimes the weight of expectations can erode self-esteem — leaving you feeling isolated or unsure of yourself. We offer supportive, non-judgmental care focused on maternal mental health in Vancouver, helping you find balance, clarity, and compassion for yourself as a mother and a person.

Postpartum Counselling in Mission and Chilliwack

If you’re experiencing anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt after childbirth, you are not alone. Our experienced clinicians provide postpartum counselling in Mission and Chilliwack, tailored to help new parents navigate the realities of early parenthood and rebuild confidence and emotional well-being. From gentle emotional support to practical coping strategies, we are here for you.
