Empowered Girls: Self-Esteem Group for Middle School Girls
At Heritage Counseling & Consulting in Plano, Texas, we’re proud to offer Empowered Girls, a self-esteem group therapy program designed specifically for middle school-aged girls (grades 6–8). This supportive group helps participants build confidence, discover their unique strengths, and develop a positive self-image in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment.
Whether your child is struggling with peer pressure, negative self-talk, or simply adjusting to the challenges of adolescence, this group provides a nurturing space to grow emotionally, socially, and mentally.
Our Empowered Girls Group starts on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, and will be held every other Tuesday in our Plano office for 10 weeks.
Why Join a Self-Esteem Group for Middle School Girls?
Middle school can be a critical time in a girl’s development. As friendships shift and social pressures rise, girls often begin to question their self-worth. Group therapy focused on self-esteem offers a unique opportunity to:
Strengthen emotional resilience
Foster healthy peer relationships
Learn tools for self-awareness and self-acceptance
Build lifelong confidence and coping skills
Participating in a group setting helps young girls realize they are not alone and gives them space to share, reflect, and grow together.
What Your Child Will Learn:
Each session covers a key topic designed to boost self-esteem and social-emotional growth:
What is Self-Esteem? Understanding the foundation of self-worth
Strengths & Talents: Discovering what makes you you
Positive Affirmations & Self-Talk: Rewriting your inner dialogue
Identity & Self-Discovery: Exploring who you are becoming
Social Influences: How social groups and media shape self-image
Peer Pressure: Learning to stand strong in your values
Internal vs. External Validation: Where does your confidence come from?
Bullying & Boundaries: Speaking up and staying safe
Physical Appearance & Body Positivity: Embracing all of you
Values & Vision: Building a strong future based on what matters most
Sessions are interactive, creative, and age-appropriate—blending discussion, activities, and reflection in a small group format.
