Therapy for shame
Shame can feel like an invisible weight, shaping how you see yourself and limiting your ability to fully express who you are. It often stems from societal expectations, family beliefs, or internalized messages that make you feel like something about you is inherently “wrong.” Over time, shame can erode self-esteem, strain relationships, and create a sense of disconnection from yourself.

These feelings can become so deeply ingrained that they start to feel like the truth rather than learned beliefs. You might catch yourself avoiding certain conversations, shrinking in social situations, or feeling like you have to prove your worth to others. Shame thrives in secrecy, convincing you that if people really knew you, they wouldn’t accept you. But the truth is, shame isn’t a reflection of who you are—it’s a reflection of the messages you’ve received.
How therapy can help
Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore and untangle these feelings. Together, we’ll identify where this shame comes from and work toward replacing self-criticism with self-compassion. I will help you challenge harmful narratives, redefine your worth on your terms, and move toward a deeper sense of confidence and acceptance. This process isn’t about forcing positivity—it’s about allowing yourself to exist fully and authentically, free from the weight of shame.
If shame is holding you back, therapy can help you reclaim your sense of self. Reach out today to start your journey toward acceptance and freedom.
