Kavita Hatten is Here to Address Low Self Esteem and Help You Thrive – Based in Phoenix, Serving Arizona
Your self-esteem is what directly shapes our view of ourselves and how we interact with the world. When our self-esteem is low, it can lead to persistent self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and difficulty asserting personal needs. These struggles can affect relationships, work performance, and overall mental well-being.
Therapy provides a supportive space to explore self-worth, challenge negative self-perceptions, and build confidence. As a licensed therapist that directly works with those that have self-esteem issues, I help individuals develop a healthier self-image and cultivate self-compassion.
If low self-esteem is preventing you from reaching your potential, I am here to help. Get started today by calling (480) 598-9540 or use our online form to start a conversation.
The Impact of Low Self-Esteem on Mental Health
Low self-esteem can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. It can make it difficult to accept compliments, take on new challenges, or engage in fulfilling relationships. Many individuals with low self-esteem struggle with negative self-talk, perfectionism, and fear of failure, which can reinforce feelings of unworthiness.
Low self-esteem can develop for various reasons, including:
- Early Childhood Experiences – Negative messages from caregivers, teachers, or peers can shape self-perception.
- Critical or Dismissive Environments – Growing up in an environment where achievements were minimized or mistakes were criticized can erode confidence.
- Negative Social Comparisons – Constantly comparing oneself to others, especially on social media, can lead to feelings of inadequacy.
- Past Trauma or Bullying – Emotional or psychological wounds from the past can impact self-worth and confidence.
- Perfectionism and Fear of Failure – Holding oneself to unrealistic standards can lead to feelings of never being good enough.
But no matter the cause, low-self-esteem is something that can be debilitating, and can cause problems with your long-term mental health. By addressing these patterns in therapy, individuals can learn to replace self-criticism with self-compassion and build a more positive and realistic sense of self.
Therapeutic Approaches for Building Self-Esteem
As a therapist specializing in self-esteem therapy in Arizona, I use evidence-based techniques to help individuals strengthen their confidence and sense of self-worth. Some of the therapeutic approaches I offer include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps identify and challenge negative self-beliefs and replace them with healthier perspectives.
- Self-Compassion and Mindfulness Practices – Encourages self-acceptance and reduces the inner critic that contributes to low self-esteem.
- Narrative Therapy – Assists in reshaping personal narratives to foster empowerment and self-growth.
- Assertiveness Training – Helps individuals build confidence in expressing their needs and setting healthy boundaries.
- Positive Psychology Techniques – Focuses on recognizing strengths, achievements, and areas of personal growth.
Through personalized therapy, I help individuals develop self-acceptance and confidence in their abilities, allowing them to navigate life with greater assurance. I help you see the person you really are and stop the “never good enough” cycle and learn to embrace yourself to the fullest.
About My Practice
I am a licensed therapist based in Phoenix, offering remote therapy services to individuals throughout Arizona. I used to operate my practice in person, but I have found that most of my clients preferred and benefitted from remote counseling. So I transitioned to virtual therapy to provide greater accessibility and convenience, ensuring clients receive support in a comfortable and familiar setting and reducing the amount of effort it takes to engage in therapy.
My approach to therapy is personal, extensive, and takes into account your specific experiences and circumstances. With in-depth, practical strategies, I’m here to help strengthen your self-esteem, build resilience, and help you embrace your strengths.
