Self-Esteem Boosting Counseling in Silver Spring, Maryland & DC

Our sense of self-worth shapes how we move through the world. When self-esteem is low, even small challenges can feel overwhelming. Many people struggling with self-esteem describe feeling “not good enough,” doubting their abilities, or carrying a deep sense of shame that colors every part of their lives. Over time, this inner critic can limit opportunities, weaken relationships, and take a toll on mental health.
Self esteem counseling provides a safe and supportive environment to work through these struggles. At Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy, our approach goes beyond surface-level fixes. We help you uncover the roots of self-doubt and gently guide you toward greater self-acceptance and confidence.
Our Approach to Self-Esteem Boosting Counseling
Our self-esteem counseling is inspired by the work of Brené Brown, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Tara Brach, teachers who remind us of the power of vulnerability, mindfulness, and compassion. We bring these insights into our sessions in a way that feels personal, practical, and deeply supportive. Together, we’ll explore gentle yet powerful practices of self-compassion, mindfulness, and radical acceptance. These are not abstract concepts. They are tools you can carry into your everyday life. In our work, you’ll begin to:
-
Notice and shift the unhelpful thought patterns that leave you feeling small
-
Understand how shame and self-criticism have shaped the way you see yourself
-
Recognize blind spots that may be quietly holding you back
-
Build inner resilience and confidence that feels steady and real
Most importantly, this work is about learning to embrace your authentic self. Instead of fighting against who you are, you’ll discover how to meet yourself with kindness and respect. Over time, many clients find that their inner voice grows gentler, their self-worth feels more solid, and life’s challenges become easier to face with courage and clarity.
