Low self esteem in kids

Has anyone sought professional help to address low self esteem in children? My daughter is 9 and she is tall at about 5’3 she towers over all her friends and is one of only a few POC in her school. She seems to be happy she plays sports, joined school band, orchestra and choir. She is smart and independent but there is just something no matter how much I encourage her she believes she is dumb and wants to change herself or changes her personality to whatever friend she is with. I can tell whenever she is doing something at a game or school that I know she can clearly do instead of exceling she messes up on purpose or pretends she doesn’t know what she is doing in front of others.

All kids do that. Want to match their friends behavior
