Esme has been such a breath of relief to have in my life! It’s always scary to open up and be able to let someone see a part of your world, but when you have someone who has the empathy and professionalism to be able to hold space for you in the way that you need, it feels like weights are being taken off. I have only had Esme as my therapist for a couple of sessions, and I felt comfortable talking about the things I have been struggling with more easily than I thought. She has a lot of great insight & and makes me feel seen and heard which is an important quality to me. Although it’s hard to confront personal issues and implementing self-care, I have comfort that there is someone in my corner who advocates for mental health and who has already helped me begin to process situations I’ve been struggling with. Thank you for being in this field Esme!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Esmeralda is the first therapist I’ve ever talked to and is helping me tremendously.
When we started our sessions, I was going through a hard time. However her insights and willingness to listen helped me get through the rough patch as well as establish a great flow of conversation for following sessions!
Only met twice, but so for Esmeralda has been very insightful. Highly recommend.
