Self Esteem Therapy in Raleigh, NC
Reclaiming Self-Worth
Struggling with body image or low self-esteem can feel like carrying an invisible chain which is holding you back from living your life more fully.. You may constantly question your worth, compare yourself to others, or feel disconnected from your body and identity. These challenges can impact your relationships, career, and ability to live fully. At Carolina Therapy Solutions, we offer compassionate, expert therapy designed to help you break free from self-critical patterns and build a stronger, more authentic connection to yourself.
We work with individuals of all genders and backgrounds to explore the deeper roots of body image and self-worth issues so you can experience true, lasting change.
How Low Self-Esteem and Negative Body Image Show Up
Body image and self-esteem issues often go beyond how we look, they reflect how we feel about ourselves. These concerns can develop over time from early childhood experiences, family messages, social media, trauma, or perfectionism. You might be experiencing:
Constant self-criticism or negative self-talk
Feeling “not good enough” or unworthy of love
Obsessing over appearance, weight, or flaws
Avoiding mirrors, photos, or social situations
Seeking external validation or struggling with confidence
Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or comparison
Shame around eating, exercising, or expressing emotions
These patterns are painful but they are not permanent.
How Self Esteem Counseling Can Help
At Carolina Therapy Solutions, we go beyond surface-level affirmation. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches that explore the deeper emotional and relational roots of low self-esteem and body image distress. We match you with a clinician who aligns with your needs and values, creating a therapeutic relationship rooted in safety, trust, and respect.
We draw from several modalities to support healing and growth:
-
Learn to challenge distorted thoughts and shift the beliefs that fuel shame, self-criticism, or body dissatisfaction.
-
Understand how early experiences and relationships shaped your self-image and begin to form a healthier, more compassionate view of yourself.
-
Build awareness and acceptance of your body and emotions in the present moment, reducing self-judgment and promoting self-kindness.
-
Identify the underlying emotions—like sadness, fear, or loneliness—that often hide behind harsh self-talk, and learn how to meet them with care.
Our therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about helping you reconnect with your worth, values, and voice.
