Older adulthood can include meaningful freedom and connection as well as loss, uncertainty, changing roles, relationship concerns, or questions about what comes next. Counseling should respond to the person's actual priorities rather than treating age itself as the problem.
Learn moreSelf Esteem Counseling in Oak Brook
Low self-esteem can sound like an internal voice that dismisses strengths, magnifies mistakes, or makes another person's approval feel necessary before taking action.
