What’s your take? Therapist using ADHD teen for educational content

Reel above ^ Am I being overly woke/sensitive?
I feel this is a violation of her teen’s privacy and agency, EVEN if she said “yeah mom you can post that.” This therapist’s most recent reel is her filming the current state of her kitchen which shows a number of messes her teen girl left out, revealing the various unfinished (or untidied) tasks from her teen’s day, and then ends on a view of her girl napping on the couch.
Putting myself in the shoes of 13-17yo, I would not have wanted my mom showcasing the ADHD behaviors I do in the comfort of my own home. Let alone panning to my head while I’m napping after school. I just find it invasive in a world where teens need privacy and a stronger boundary between the internet and their personal lives more than ever.
You may say this helps de stigmatize ADHD, but I feel there are better ways to accomplish that without filming it and attributing it to a specific child on a public account.
