Self-Worth

What Is Self-Worth?

Self-worth is the belief that you are inherently valuable, deserving of love, and capable of achieving your goals. It’s not about perfection or comparing yourself to others—it’s about recognizing your unique qualities and treating yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend.

Struggling with Low Self-Worth

Do you find yourself feeling “not good enough,” doubting your abilities, or struggling to believe in your own value? Low self-worth can be a silent struggle that impacts every area of your life, from relationships and career to your overall sense of happiness and fulfillment. At Mark Zaegel Counseling, I specialize in helping clients reconnect with their inner strengths and develop a healthier, more confident sense of self.

When self-worth is low, you may experience:

  • Frequent self-criticism or negative self-talk
  • Difficulty setting boundaries or saying “no”
  • Over-reliance on external validation or approval
  • Fear of failure or reluctance to take risks
  • A sense of shame, guilt, or inadequacy

It’s normal to face challenges with self-worth at times, but with support, you can learn to see yourself in a new light.

How I Can Help

Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, I provide tools and techniques to help you:

  • Identify and reframe negative beliefs about yourself
  • Develop self-compassion and a kinder inner dialogue
  • Recognize and celebrate your strengths and accomplishments
  • Set healthy boundaries and prioritize your needs
  • Build confidence to pursue your goals and navigate challenges

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll work together to break the cycle of self-doubt and create lasting change.

Why Focus on Self-Worth?

Your sense of self-worth influences how you show up in the world. When you value yourself, you’re more likely to build healthy relationships, make empowering choices, and live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Therapy can help you uncover your inner worth and strengthen your belief in yourself.
