About me

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Thriving Mariposa Online Counseling Services. My name is Esther Garcia MA LPC and I am excited to offer Online Counseling Services to women in every zip code in Michigan via virtual therapy, and I look forward to potentially working with you! I offer a supportive space including honest, solution focused approach to people like you struggling with transitional moments in life, balancing work/life, and finding the meaning and purpose of why growth is important. It is my belief that all of our stressors are related to childhood attachment/trauma and family of origin dynamics. Let’s look a little deeper into what might be happening for you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

You’ll be asked a few questions so that I can better understand your needs and understand your concerns about what brought you in for services. I’ll share how I can help you including a detailed plan and approximate time frame for services. My goal is to help you connect with the right care and understand your situation through your lens and focus on what is most important to you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I know telling your story and being vulnerable can be scary, I have a personal passion to help people heal their hearts and I am dedicated to focusing on your healing and to get you the help you need during the most challenging times. I utilize Intential Talk Therapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, and a supportive space for you to process your points of pain and work toward a better solution. I will work with you from a strength based perspective and together we will assess your current concerns and issues, learn more about what’s worked for you in the past and build on this, to create a detailed plan to successfully implement positive change to transform your life and increase your level of well-being and instill excitement about what lies ahead.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with women who are experiencing difficult transitions as these moments can be challenging but also offer opportunities for growth and new experiences. Each woman's journey is unique, and the impact of these transitions can vary widely based on individual circumstances.Life transitions for women can encompass various significant changes throughout different stages of life. Here are some common examples: Career Changes Transitioning to a new job or career field. Returning to work after a period of absence (e.g., maternity leave). Pursuing further education or training for career advancement. Family Dynamics Becoming a mother or a caregiver. Navigating divorce or separation. Adjusting to children leaving home (empty nest syndrome). Health and Wellness Managing a chronic illness or health condition. Adopting a new lifestyle or fitness routine. Experiencing menopause and its associated changes. Personal Development Engaging in self-discovery or personal growth activities. Moving to a new city or country for a fresh start. Reevaluating personal relationships and social circles. Retirement Planning Preparing for retirement and redefining identity post-career. Exploring new hobbies or volunteer opportunities after retirement. What makes my practice unique is my extensive experience helping clients boost self-esteem and embrace self-love—especially during life transitions or emotional struggles. I’m deeply passionate about empowering women to show up for themselves and live life with confidence, clarity, and purpose. If you're looking for a safe, supportive space to grow, heal, and reconnect with your inner strength, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
