Elyse Wood, LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family TherapistElyse approaches therapy with warm and genuine care for others which allows her clients to grow in a meaningful and purposeful way.   She recognizes that a safe, trusting, and supportive environment is needed for change to occur, and she creates this environment with her compassion and understanding that her clients are doing the best they know how.  Her focus is on working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, children experiencing behavioral challenges, relational concerns, low self-esteem, family conflict, and emotional dysregulation.  Elyse actively collaborates with each client to overcome obstacles that feel too overwhelming and too difficult to manage on their own.  She has a fundamental belief that each person possesses unique qualities and strengths, that once identified, can produce significant change and growth.

What causes low self-esteem in adolescence?

Self-esteem, or how you feel about yourself, will be challenged during the teenage years. Despite the obstacles of this time period, there is great potential for healthy self-esteem development. Psychologist, Erik Erikson, theorized that there are developmental stages we all face throughout different periods of our life. He states that the teenage developmental period is marked by an evaluation of one’s identity and ultimately a decision will be made about who you are to become as a person. This is no easy task set forth for teenagers to accomplish!
