I'm Essy, a licensed therapist passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals in their journeys toward self-discovery, healing, and personal empowerment. With a unique blend of lived experience and professional training, I specialize in helping clients confront and navigate complex challenges related to identity, trauma, and mental health in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes them. My goal is to create a therapeutic space that fosters genuine self-acceptance and growth, allowing clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered to thrive authentically.

At Socratic Wellness, I provide integrative therapy grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and practical growth. I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and individuals looking to improve communication skills, manage trauma, or navigate life transitions. My approach is client-centered and adaptable, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet you where you are. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions. EMDR is available for processing trauma and building nervous system resilience. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to explore patterns, support behavior change, and strengthen internal motivation. My style is warm, respectful, and engaged. I often use Socratic questioning to encourage insight and deeper self-understanding, and I draw from existential perspectives to explore identity, purpose, and meaning — especially during times of uncertainty or change. I take an eclectic approach, customizing therapy based on your goals, needs, and strengths. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can be a place to sort through what’s getting in the way and reconnect with what matters most. You don’t need to show up with answers — just a willingness to explore. Together, we’ll build a space that supports reflection, healing, and forward movement at your own pace.

Biography: Greetings! Thank you for stopping by my profile! Even if “just passing through", you're on a journey, and I'm glad to be even a tiny part of it! You may be confused about where to begin...there are lots of counselors with all different styles. Maybe you see so much on TikTok about therapy, but you aren't sure if you need shadow work, CBT, EMDR or DBT. I have good news! You don't need to know! Its great to have an understanding of modern therapy tools and terms, but it is NOT necessary. You only need open your mind to new things (maybe more than a few times!) and learn to listen to your instincts. That's all! It might take a few tries, but it will be worth it- and so are you! A little about me- I became a licensed professional counselor in 2002. Since then I've worked with many different types of folks in many settings. I particularly enjoy working with young adults through middle age. I specialize in treating ADHD, Anxiety & Addiction (which includes overspending, gambling & overeating!) I also work with non-clinical issues such as Career changes, Perfectionism, Generational Trauma, Estrangement and Grief. Whether you have a specific problem or you're stuck navigating ‘life on life's terms’ , I will help you harness the power of human resilience. My approach with all problems is help ignite your individual, lifelong process of discovery and recovery . Age & experience has taught me that all my clients share something in common - the need for unconditional connection and the desire to explore. Does that sound like you? Then let's begin!

I hold a deep respect for each person's unique story. I am passionate about supporting people in finding greater connections with themselves and those around them, and in being more present in their daily lives. Together we can craft an approach to counseling that works for you. I am a bilingual/bi-cultural therapist; able to do therapy in both English/Spanish. I am sensitive to inter-generational conflicts that arise due to acculturation issues. Therapy provides an opportunity to wonder about experiences, emotions, and desires that we may not otherwise have space to explore. This process can deepen our insight into the impact of personal history on our current behavioral and emotional patterns, allowing us a greater sense of self and choice in our lives and relationships. In the course of psychotherapy, we will create a space of non-judgmental curiosity, including space for creativity, playfulness, and humor. I help my patients develop and strengthen their ability to manage anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges so that they can live a more meaningful, mindful, and enjoyable life. I encourage my patients to work hard to grow and change, achieving the life they desire. I seek to develop a caring and supportive relationship with all my patients. You are a unique human being. There is no "one size fits all" therapy. Let's talk and see if I am the right fit to help you reach the goals you want for yourself. Together we will work to deepen self-awareness, presence, and sense of possibility. I use she/her pronouns. *** Please note that I am only able to schedule appointments on the hour (i.e. 3:00), and cannot accommodate appointments on the half hour (i.e. 3:30). Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the scheduling platform. ***

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Hampshire rather than a city like Manchester?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Hampshire from Nashua to Concord! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Hampshire.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Trauma and PTSD?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in New Hampshire that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
