Join Us This April to Learn How
We live in a culture that praises perfection. Social media highlights reels, pressure to constantly “level up,” and the voice in your head that says, “You should be doing more.” It’s no wonder so many of us struggle with self-esteem. But here’s the truth: Self-esteem isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real. And more importantly—it’s about how you treat yourself when things don’t go as planned.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in cycles of self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, procrastination, or people-pleasing, you’re not alone. These patterns are more common than you think. The good news? You can break them. And our 11 Weeks to Self Esteem Program can help you do just that.
💡 Why Most Self-Esteem Advice Falls Short
So many self-help messages say, “Just think positive!” or “Be more confident!”—but they don’t show you how. Real, lasting self-esteem comes from learning how to work with your thoughts, not ignore them. That’s where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) comes in.
CBT is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By uncovering hidden thinking errors, challenging negative beliefs, and building healthier thought patterns, you can create powerful, lasting changes in how you feel about yourself—and how you show up in your life.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in the 11 Weeks to Self Esteem Program
Led by experienced therapist Dawn A. O’Meally, MSW, LCSW-C, this program combines compassionate group support with powerful CBT tools and the classic workbook “10 Days to Self-Esteem” by Dr. David Burns. Over the course of 11 weeks, you’ll explore topics such as:
-
Understanding Self-Esteem: Learn what it really is, and how to build it from the inside out
-
Overcoming Perfectionism: Discover the difference between healthy striving and perfectionist pressure
-

-

Each session is 90 minutes long and held on Zoom, creating a safe and confidential space to learn, grow, and connect with others on a similar journey.

❤️ A Personal Note from Dawn
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside so many people as they reconnect with their self-worth. The transformation that happens during these 11 weeks is always inspiring—watching someone go from self-doubt to self-respect, from anxiety to calm, from hiding to showing up fully.
This group isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about giving you the tools, support, and insight to make real, lasting changes. And I’d be honored to have you with us.
