Esther Carrera

Hi, I am Esther, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience in the mental health field and six years working directly as a therapist. I have worked across a wide range of settings, including high schools, an ABA center for children, the public sector, and private practice, which has given me a broad and grounded perspective on human behavior and change.

As a Trauma-Informed therapist, I understand how you can feel after experiencing hard situations that prevent you from being your authentic self. My role is to collaborate with you so that you can make sense of your world again, build confidence, and use evidence-based skills to effectively manage clinical symptoms, relationships and stressful situations.

My strength-based approach helps you to identify and leverage your natural talents to resolve personal barriers and navigate both unique challenges and everyday struggles.

While grief work is not for every therapist, it is an area in which I am deeply experienced in and comfortable with.

I am well equipped to treat anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders, including PTSD.

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing to come up with your personalized clinical goals.
