Hello, my name is Esther. Have you ever felt alone and misunderstood? Like you had no one to turn to for help? What if I told you that you didn't need to be alone? I specialize in helping people of all ages with various mental health issues, including but not limited to mood disorders and anxiety. I am extremely passionate about assisting others and aim to provide the utmost care. I like to take on a more individual and personal approach, developing a care plan that works best for you and your situation. The journey may not be easy, but together, we can do it. Choosing to consult someone for help is the first step in getting better. During our time together, we will form a treatment plan based on your needs that will continue to benefit you even after the session is over. I look forward to working with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I would like to let you know that I am here for you. I will listen to your concerns, talk about your symptoms, and analyze their effects on your day-to-day life. Any change in your overall physical or emotional health is vital and worth noting. I will make a diagnosis and together, we will build a care plan that is right for you. You will leave our sessions feeling revitalized and ready to take on whatever obstacle you may face.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Depending on your needs, psychotherapy, medications, and other forms of treatment can be used. Even though I've trained in pharmacotherapy, non-medication treatments can also be a part of your treatment plan as well. I also incorporate vital statistics to better understand what will work best for you: Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9), General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), Vanderbilt Questionnaire for parents and teachers, Adult ADHD Scale, PTSD Questionnaire, and much more.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths are my listening skills, empathy, and self-management methods, which I use to connect with you and create a therapeutic environment where you can feel safe and heard. I am a deeply compassionate person, and will treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve no matter what. Most of my expertise is in treating ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Each illness feels vastly intimidating to be diagnosed with, but with proper treatment, is manageable or able to be overcame.
