Hi there! I'm Dr Esmie, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and PhD, Research Psychologist with more than three decades of professional and lived experience. I've lived much of my life in England and California and now currently reside in the DMV state of Virginia. I bring a broad multicultural perspective to my work.serving individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural, social, and spiritual backgrounds.

My clinical practice integrates evidence-based approaches, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions. I have worked extensively with clients navigating trauma, life transitions, relational conflict, stress, and emotional challenges, helping them move toward healing and personal growth.

I believe meaningful change occurs when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. I strive to create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. Through collaboration, practical tools, and compassionate guidance, I help clients develop insight, strengthen resilience, and build healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior.

Above all, I value human dignity and authentic connection. I believe credentials may open doors, but character, empathy, and genuine care sustain lasting transformation.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richmond

Finding the right OCD therapist in Richmond starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and a qualified provider can help determine whether it may be appropriate for your needs. Some providers also use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a combination of both. When reviewing a provider's profile, look for experience with the type of OCD symptoms you're dealing with — whether that's intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination concerns, or something else.

Richmond has a range of mental health providers, but not all therapists have specialized OCD training. A licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or psychologist with OCD experience can provide therapy, while a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help with medication management if needed. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

OCD therapy in Richmond can be expensive without insurance — but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. This makes it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
