I have a background in science and psychology, which fits my education as a psychologist. I am also a very creative and collaborative person. I want to work with each client to find the best individual treatment for them. I know many techniques and exercises, but only you can tell me what what works best for you. I enjoy helping adults (age 18+) navigate the transitions they face and be able to look forward to the future with hope (even if that feels very far away currently).
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional
(CCTP) providing outpatient therapy for adults. For more than 22 years, I have been dedicated to
supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those facing complex life
challenges, trauma, ADHD, substance use, military-related challenges, women’s health issues,

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Illinois, I provide compassionate, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based mental health care to individuals, couples, and families. I bring genuine empathy, strong interpersonal skills, and a broad cross-cultural perspective to my practice.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and grief counseling. I also offer couples counseling to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection, as well as support for stress, burnout, and emotional regulation.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.
My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.
As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.
My name is A.J. Esguerra. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the mental health field since 2001. I have split my time primarily between working in residential treatment with abused and neglected children, and most recently in a private therapeutic day school for children and adolescents with special needs (which remains my full-time job). However, after COVID, I felt it was part of my purpose and mission to begin providing online therapy part time. My belief is that the world needs connection more than ever, and there are few things more protective or more resilient than a positive relationship with another person
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience, I provide culturally sensitive care to those navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fairfax
Finding the right therapist in Fairfax, VA starts with getting clear on what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD, or trauma, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a real difference. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and scope of practice. If you need medication management alongside talk therapy, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
With 3095 mental health providers across Northern Virginia — from Fairfax to Falls Church, Reston, and beyond — narrowing your options can take time.

Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're someone you'd feel comfortable working with.
