Quiet the inner-critic.
Therapy for reclaiming your confidence.
Online self-esteem therapy for women across Illinois and in-person sessions in Chicago, designed to help you overcome self-doubt and build lasting confidence—whether it's at work, at home, or in your relationships.
Self-doubt can feel like a shadow you can’t escape—creeping into your career, relationships, and even how you parent.
Maybe you’re noticing…
A relentless inner critic that makes you question your worth and feel undeserving of happiness or success.
Struggling to set boundaries, saying "yes" when you desperately want to say "no," and feeling drained by constant people-pleasing.
Constant self-doubt that leaves you second-guessing decisions and questioning your instincts.
A lost sense of self—feeling disconnected from who you are and what you truly want
The exhausting chase for perfection and acceptance—seeking approval, measuring yourself against others, and never feeling like you’re enough.
You’re ready to reclaim your confidence and step into your authentic self.
Therapy can help build a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself.
Together, we’ll work on…
Challenging that loud inner critic that tells you you’re falling short, and replacing it with a voice that’s more kind, compassionate, and supportive.
Letting go of the pressure to be perfect and allowing yourself to show up as you are—flaws, imperfections, and all.
Rediscovering your values and passions, so you can reconnect with what feels meaningful and true to you.
Building confidence in your decisions and learning to trust yourself again.
Setting boundaries that reflect your needs, not just the expectations of others.
What you can expect when you work with us:
At Revive, we believe that growth starts with feeling seen, heard, and valued for who you truly are.
We know how overwhelming it can feel to carry the weight of self-doubt, uncertainty, or trying to meet everyone else’s expectations. That’s why we’re here—to help you feel grounded, empowered, and connected to your authentic self. Our approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. We see therapy as a partnership, where you lead the way and we walk alongside you, providing tools and insights tailored to your needs. Rather than focusing solely on “fixing” what feels broken, we help you uncover the strengths, resilience, and wisdom you already hold.
Together, we’ll work to untangle the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck, creating space for new perspectives, healthier boundaries, and deeper self-compassion. We believe that meaningful change doesn’t happen by forcing yourself into someone else’s version of success. It comes from connecting with what truly matters to you. Whether it’s quieting that inner critic, rediscovering your confidence, or finding clarity in your identity, we’ll guide you through the process at a pace that feels right. You don’t have to face this journey alone—we’re here to help you create a life that feels fully yours.
