Confidence & Self-Worth Therapy
Las Vegas, NV
If you're quick to assume the worst about yourself or slow to accept a compliment, there's probably a reason. Maybe you're exhausted from constantly measuring up to a standard that keeps moving. These patterns are often learned over time, which means they can also be understood and changed.
This might be a good fit if you notice:
- A running inner critic that's harsher to you than you'd ever be to anyone else
- Trouble accepting compliments, credit, or good things without deflecting
- Constantly comparing yourself to other people and coming up short
- Saying yes to things you don't want, because saying no feels too risky
- Imposter syndrome at work, even when your results say otherwise
- A pattern of shrinking yourself in relationships to avoid conflict or rejection
- Feeling like you have to accomplish something, be useful, or be needed to feel good about yourself
Where this usually comes from
Struggling with your self-worth is rarely random. It's often shaped by early family dynamics, a critical or inconsistent relationship, a culture that rewarded performance over authenticity, or past experiences that taught you it wasn't safe to take up space. Understanding where the pattern started isn't about blame. It's what makes it possible to actually change it, rather than just white-knuckling your way through another pep talk.
What this work looks like with Tina
This isn't affirmations-in-the-mirror therapy. Sessions focus on identifying the beliefs driving your self-doubt, understanding where they came from, and noticing the patterns that show up across different areas of your life. Together, we'll explore how past experiences may be shaping the way you relate to yourself, your relationships, your work, and the choices you make today.
The goal is to build a more accurate, steadier sense of self that isn't dependent on being perfect, productive, or liked by everyone. That might mean practicing self-compassion, examining where perfectionism or people-pleasing is doing the heavy lifting, and, when it's relevant, learning the boundary-setting skills that real confidence tends to require.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Confidence often has to do with how much you trust yourself to handle something. Self-worth runs deeper. It's the underlying belief that you are valuable and deserving of respect, care, and acceptance even when you're not achieving, succeeding, or getting everything right. The two often overlap, and we may work on both.
They can overlap, but they're not the same. Anxiety is often about managing worry and fear; self-worth work is about changing the underlying beliefs you hold about your own worth. Many clients are working on both at once.
Yes, imposter syndrome is often a self-worth issue wearing a work costume. The same underlying beliefs about not being good "enough" can show up even when your actual performance says otherwise.
You can repeat positive things about yourself all day and still not believe them. This work goes underneath the surface message to understand the beliefs that make it difficult to see yourself differently in the first place.
