It’s a strange thing indeed that we are more conscious about how we speak to others but pay less attention to how we talk to ourselves. Pause for a second and really think about that:

What words do you use when you talk to yourself? Are you your own worst enemy? How often do you put yourself down?

Now you can speak to a therapist who specializes in self-esteem development counseling. Liz Davis, M.S., LMFT of Liz Davis Therapy offers individual therapy for self-esteem and self-exploration.

Recent research suggests that 85% of all Americans suffer from low self-esteem. In fact, a report by Psychology Today has stated that low self-esteem is positively correlated with low academic achievement, teenage pregnancy, and violent behavior. Further, having a poor self-image may increase the likelihood for adults to engage in risky behaviors, including substance addiction.

The truth is, the way we talk to ourselves says a lot about how we go through life!

Addressing this head-on, Liz Davis says that the goal of her self-esteem counseling is to get to the root cause of the issue. Typically, poor self-esteem is identified by the following symptoms: inability to accept criticism, feeling social avoidance, having consistent negative thoughts, and finding it difficult to challenge and assert yourself, even when you’re among groups of friends.

Liz works with you to raise your self-concept gradually and holistically. She guides you to process and understand your past, develop your sense of self in the present, and manifest your ideal future of who you want to be in the world moving forward.

The best part? Liz understands exactly what you are going through. If you feel you want to cry or scream or just release all your frustration, Liz is there to help. You don’t have to go through this alone anymore.

Liz explains that her therapeutic approach is eclectic, as she believes that there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment for self-esteem. She focuses on processing family issues, attachment theory, values exploration, and self-compassion work. The goal is not to cure poor self-esteem but to provide you with the tools you need to live life with more authenticity.

Liz also offers individual therapy for anxiety, depression, and trauma, and couples therapy. Before any session, you are invited to schedule a discovery call with Liz first. This allows you to determine if Liz is someone you want to work with. It is important that you feel comfortable with her for any sort of healing to happen.

Liz writes, "I assist clients in developing a stronger understanding of who they are and why they think and feel the way they do. I do this by collaborating with clients to deepen their understanding and awareness of themselves and their inner world (thoughts and feelings) through collaborative dialogue."
