Self-Esteem Building in Cary, NC
Healthy self-esteem is essential for living a fulfilling and confident life. At Prism Wellness in Cary, NC, we understand the challenges that come with low self-esteem and offer supportive, evidence-based therapy to help you build a more positive self-image. Our compassionate therapists work with you to uncover the roots of low self-esteem and develop strategies to improve how you see yourself.
What is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem refers to how you perceive and value yourself. Low self-esteem can affect every aspect of life, from personal relationships to career success and overall happiness. It can manifest as constant self-doubt, difficulty accepting compliments, or feeling unworthy.
Common Signs of Low Self-Esteem:
- Constant self-criticism and negative self-talk
- Difficulty accepting praise or compliments
- Fear of failure, rejection, or judgment
- Social withdrawal or avoiding new opportunities
- Feelings of unworthiness or inadequacy
If you find yourself struggling with any of these symptoms, self-esteem therapy can help you break free from negative thought patterns and build a healthier relationship with yourself.

How Therapy May Help Build Self-Esteem
Self-esteem therapy focuses on identifying and challenging the negative beliefs that contribute to feelings of unworthiness. At Prism Wellness, our therapists use proven approaches to help you change the way you think about yourself and empower you to embrace your strengths and potential.
Benefits of Self-Esteem Therapy:
- Helps you challenge and change negative self-perceptions
- Increases confidence and self-worth
- Teaches you how to set healthy boundaries and make decisions with confidence
- Encourages healthier relationships with yourself and others
- Promotes a more positive and empowered outlook on life
Through therapy, you’ll learn to replace self-criticism with self-compassion and gain the tools to nurture your self-esteem over time.

Types of Self-Esteem Therapy We Offer
At Prism Wellness, we offer several therapeutic approaches to help improve self-esteem:

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you recognize and challenge the negative thought patterns that fuel low self-esteem. By shifting these thoughts, clients can begin to see themselves in a more positive and balanced way.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy, teaching you how to stay present and manage negative self-judgment in a more compassionate and accepting manner.
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: For many individuals, low self-esteem is rooted in past trauma. Trauma-informed therapy addresses these emotional wounds, helping you heal and rebuild a positive sense of self.
- Positive Psychology:
Positive psychology focuses on building strengths and enhancing well-being, encouraging clients to focus on their successes and strengths, rather than their perceived shortcomings.
Is Self-Esteem Therapy Right for You?
If you’re unsure whether self-esteem therapy is the right path for you, consider the following:
- Do you frequently doubt your abilities or worth?
- Do you struggle to accept compliments or praise?
- Are you overly critical of yourself or afraid of failure?
- Do you avoid new opportunities due to fear or lack of confidence?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, therapy can help you build the self-esteem needed to lead a more confident and fulfilling life.
