IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL SESSIONS IN ILLINOIS

Where Inner Strength Meets Lasting Self-Belief

Build confidence from the inside out

At Lily Counseling, we understand how a lack of self-esteem can silently shape every part of your life—from the way you show up at work to how you navigate relationships. For high-functioning women, this often looks like overperforming, people-pleasing, or doubting your value behind closed doors. Our self-esteem counseling is designed to help you quiet the inner critic, reclaim your voice, and develop the kind of confidence that feels grounded—not forced. And if you’re looking for faith-informed support, we’re here to integrate that into your journey.

A Tailored Approach for Optimal results

Through a personalized blend of therapy, coaching, and self-worth work, we help you move beyond surface-level confidence and into a more secure, empowered sense of self. Whether in-person or online, our sessions provide a safe space to unpack old narratives, heal perfectionism, and learn how to fully trust yourself again.

Counseling for Self Esteem

When self-doubt holds you back

Struggling with low self-esteem doesn’t always look obvious. Many of our clients are outwardly successful but quietly wrestling with feelings of inadequacy or not-enoughness. You’re not alone. Here are common reasons people seek self-esteem counseling at Lily Counseling:

-Constantly second-guessing yourself or needing external validation.
-Fear of being “found out” or not measuring up.
-Trouble accepting compliments or acknowledging your strengths.
-Feeling like you’re never doing enough, no matter how hard you try.
-Putting others first at the expense of your own needs.
-Struggling to set boundaries or speak up in relationships.
-Battling shame, self-criticism, or imposter syndrome.
