Our sense of self-worth is often shaped by the responses we receive from others. This can be especially challenging in a world where we are constantly bombarded with messages from the media, our peers, and even family members about what we should look like, act like, and achieve. Unfortunately, these messages can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and a negative self-image. That’s why our Vancouver therapist at Wellspring Counselling Inc. is here to help. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident, valued, and worthy of love and respect, and we use a variety of approaches to help individuals improve their self-esteem. One of these approaches is Motivational Interviewing, which is a client-centered approach that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about changing their behavior. Our therapists use Motivational Interviewing to help individuals identify their strengths and values, set achievable goals, and develop a plan to reach those goals.
