Self Esteem
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.

Vanessa Ffrench
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (140713), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience working with clients who are suffering with self-esteem issues. I approach these issues with acceptance and self compassion, body-oriented practices and mindfulness, as well as identifying earlier childhood patterns and internalizations that created a poor sense of self and low self esteem. I encourage self-compassion first and foremost with these clients.

Self Esteem
Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if you saw yourself the way others saw you? Imagine if you could finally feel like you're good enough, doing enough, loved enough. What if you talked to others the way you talked to yourself? How come your inner critic is giving you such a hard time?
Improving the relationship you have with yourself is where therapy often starts.
Let's make sense of the recurring themes in your negative self-talk. You'll practice re-evaluating what your mind's telling you to make sure it's accurate, representative, and helpful for you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Where did these self-defeating messages come from? How can we reframe them to be more encouraging and reassuring so they stop holding you back?
You'll learn your preferences, your triggers, and how to assert boundaries through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). You'll identify your values and start noticing when people push you to act in ways that contradict what's most important to you through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
This is all figure-out-able.

Self Esteem
Brian McCloud, Nomad Healing Practices
Counselor/Therapist, APCC, LAC
Harsh self-criticism often roots from dysfunctional families and systems that measured your value by appearance, achievement, or approval. We’ll trace where those beliefs came from and challenge them directly. Your worth is intrinsic, rooted in who you are rather than what you produce or possess, and we’ll practice living from that.
