Hello and thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor - I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - II (CCTP-II) I have 17 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse field. I have my Master's from Southern Nazarene University in Marriage and Family and counseling (MA).
I have had extensive experience with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma counseling, and adults. I also have experience with family counseling. My approach to counseling is eclectic. My goal is to match the right approach to the right person. some of the counseling approaches I use are Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and experiential therapy. I help people realize their purpose as well as challenge them to be the best that they can be. Counseling is hard work at times and my goal is to guide you as gently as possible through the process.
If you are ready to start the process of healing I would be honored to accompany you in the process. Looking forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Wonderful experience with my therapist. Her various psychological tools and personable expertise has aided me greatly in my pursuit of mindfulness and self love.
Esther is a FANTASTIC listener. She offers me great tools and never rushes me. She has great ideas and is easy to communicate with. I feel valued by her.
Esther is very kind and engaging and easy to talk to.
Esther is fantastic. I explained to her that I did not always follow through on my previous therapists because I did not enjoy the face to face at first because I tend to hold things in, and although she did not typically use the chat option, she worked with me and so far it has been an amazing experience!
My first better help session was an enjoyable experience and I'd recommend the service to a friend. I'm looking forward to my next session!
Esther is easy to talk to and provides a variety of stress management tools. Our time has been very helpful for me.
Esther seems genuinely invested in my mental health. She is extremely easy to talk to and has a great feedback. She reaches out in between appointments, and I think that is very reassuring.
In the time that I've been seeing Esther, she has been incredibly easy to talk to. She listens to what I have to say and has continued to provide useful tools and "homework" that have allowed me to change and adapt to different behavioral habits.
Ester is a terrific therapist. She help get out a dark space. She will listen and give you advice on how to cope in a healthy way.
Esther Bold helps me navigate through the process of recovering from my depression and is a great therapist who listens to and understands my situation.
I'm currently working with Esther and she is such a delight to work with. She's very professional, caring, and empathetic. She provides helpful strategies and exercises to practice in between counseling sessions, and she also checks in on me by messaging and asking how my week went. I really enjoy working with her and feel that she does a great job balancing listening to what I'm going through, and also investing in helping me get better.
Esther is helpful and knowledgeable in her training. I look forward to my meetings with her.
Therapy with Esther has been surprisingly easy, considering this is my first go at it. I feel lucky to have been paired with her.
