Self-Esteem Therapy

Marisol Achirica is an English-speaking psychotherapist in Mérida, Yucatán, with 25+ years of experience and 70 five-star Google reviews. She helps people rebuild their self-esteem and sense of self-worth, both in person in Mérida and online via Zoom.

Low self-esteem is learned, often early, in the way you were spoken to and the comparisons you absorbed. What was learned can be unlearned. In therapy you build a steadier, kinder relationship with yourself, so your worth stops depending on getting everything right.

How Low Self-Esteem Can Feel

Everyone experiences it differently. These are some of the common ways it shows up:

How We Work on Self-Esteem

My approach blends a humanistic and psychodynamic perspective with practical work you can use day to day. We trace where the harsh inner voice came from, and at the same time you practice concrete ways to speak to yourself with more fairness and respect.

I work especially well with sensitive, intelligent, emotionally deep people. Identity work matters a lot for expats too. When you move to a new country, the roles that used to tell you who you were fall away, and your sense of self has to be rebuilt from the inside. That rebuilding is some of the most meaningful work we do together.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about self-esteem

Start by noticing the inner voice that judges you, and questioning whether it tells the truth. Small daily steps help: set one boundary, accept one compliment without deflecting, do one thing you’re a little proud of. On your own this is hard, because the harsh voice feels like fact. In therapy we work on where it came from and replace it, over time, with a steadier and fairer sense of your own worth.
Yes. Low self-esteem is learned, so it can be unlearned. We work on the beliefs you absorbed about yourself, often years ago, and rebuild a more accurate picture. It takes practice, not magic, and the change is real and lasting once it takes hold.
Usually from early experience. Criticism, comparison, conditional approval, or feeling that love had to be earned all teach a child that they aren’t quite enough. That belief settles in and runs quietly in the background for years. Understanding its origin is the first step to loosening its grip.
It depends on you and how long you’ve carried it. Many people feel a shift in the first weeks as the inner critic gets quieter. A deeper, steadier sense of self-worth usually takes a few months of consistent work.
Yes. I work in both English and Spanish, with in-person sessions in Mérida, Yucatán, and online sessions via Zoom anywhere in the world. Online therapy for self-esteem works with the same depth as meeting in person.
