Amazing topic! Our approach is self actualization driven as an amalgam of student directed pedagogies, neurodevelopmental applications or care, attachment/belonging circuit work, polyvagal based, parts work based, intersectional/contextual based...It's an in-house recipe for how we arrive at this, the science is generally working from context/orientation> existential> attachment based>trauma work>situational and relational and adding integrative, functional or bio/neurofeedback care (sometimes administered by others) along the way. With a CPTSD focus, it's about building inner harmony with the parts or different layers of the psyche. We may also honor and work from eastern meditation principles, nature and support for the intuitive.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Low self-esteem in teens is easy to miss, partly because so much of it looks like something else. It can show up as perfectionism, as not trying at all, as apologizing constantly, as needing a lot of reassurance, or as a teen who won't put themselves forward for anything. Some of the most confident-seeming kids are the hardest on themselves in private.
Comparison makes it worse, and teens now live inside an unprecedented amount of it. The measuring stick is always there, always updating, and always someone else's highlight reel.
I work with teens on what's underneath the self-criticism, not just the surface of it. Where did they learn to talk to themselves that way, and who taught it to them? We look at those beliefs directly, and build something steadier in their place. Alongside that, we work on practical things: recognizing what they're actually good at, setting boundaries in friendships, tolerating being disliked, and speaking up for what they need.
The aim isn't to convince your teen they're great. It's to help them relate to themselves with less contempt, so that failing at something stops meaning something about who they are.
