Therapy for Self-Esteem & Identity in Orange County and Throughout California
You’re Not Broken—You’re Becoming.
Maybe you question your worth no matter how much you achieve. Maybe you’ve spent so long trying to be what others needed that you’ve lost touch with who you are. If you're struggling with low self-esteem, identity confusion, or inner criticism, therapy can help you reconnect with your true self—with compassion and clarity.
At Full Vida Therapy, we support teens and adults across California in navigating self-esteem challenges, identity exploration, and personal growth. Together, we’ll help you find confidence, self-trust, and a deeper sense of who you are.
What Self-Esteem Struggles Can Look Like
Constant self-doubt or fear of not being “enough”
Harsh inner critic or imposter syndrome
Difficulty setting boundaries or speaking up
People-pleasing or overachieving to gain approval
Shame around failure, appearance, or past choices
Feeling lost in your identity or disconnected from your values
Fear of being your authentic self
You don’t have to keep shrinking to fit into places you’ve outgrown.
Identity Issues We Support
We hold space for a wide range of identity exploration, including:
Identity formation in teens and young adults
Shifts in identity due to life transitions (e.g., motherhood, career changes, divorce)
Exploration of cultural, racial, faith-based, or spiritual identity
Support for neurodivergent identity development
Navigating internalized shame or social pressures

Our Approach to Self-Esteem & Identity Therapy
Our work together is centered on self-compassion, curiosity, and giving you the space to explore who you are—without judgment or pressure. Therapy may include:
Narrative work to help you reclaim your story
Inner child and parts work to explore past wounds and strengths
Cognitive reframing to challenge shame and negative self-beliefs
Values clarification to guide your decisions and identity
Mindfulness & somatic tools to reconnect with your body and intuition
We don’t rush your growth. We walk with you as you come home to yourself.
Self-Esteem & Identity Work in Teens
Adolescents are constantly asking, “Who am I?” We support teens through identity shifts, peer pressure, self-image struggles, and building confidence from the inside out—not just through achievement or approval.
You’re Allowed to Like Who You Are Becoming
You don’t need to be perfect to be worthy. Therapy is a space to explore your identity, rebuild your confidence, and step into a more authentic version of you.
