I have been in and out of therapy for the majority of my life since I was about 5 years old and have a long history of depression, anxiety, and much more and honestly this is the first time I have hope of getting a handle on my issues with the help of a therapist. I feel like I can actually gain controll of everything that I need to working with Esther. I love her approach on things so they are less overwhelming and her knowledge in many areas makes me feel heard for the first time by a therapist. I highly recommend her!

Esther did a great job helping me out my work issues into perspective and make game plans about working with different types of people, setting up healthy boundaries, and making the most of my life outside of work. She’s respectful and makes sure that you’re feeling heard.
Thank you!!

Esther helps me feel heard and understood which is something that I've struggled with for more than 20 years. I enjoy our sessions. I'm able to discuss and work through my feelings.

Esther listens to me and gives me hope that I can make progress when I have felt hopeless for so long. She is there for me when I need her and is quick to respond to messages. She is easy to talk to and gives me things to think about between appointments.
