Therapist

Virtual • Upland, CA


We all carry emotional burdens—some deep and lasting—that shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Sometimes our pain feels unseen, our emotions misunderstood, or our hearts weary from carrying more than we were meant to bear. I believe healing begins with the courage to look within, understand our experiences, and, when desired, invite God into the healing process.

I am Dr. Sandry Z. Esquivel, Psy.D., LMFT, a bilingual, bicultural therapist and Mexican immigrant. My personal and professional experiences have deepened my appreciation for the ways culture, family, faith, identity, relationships, and life experiences shape our emotional well-being. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel welcomed, respected, understood, and free to be authentic.

I offer tele-health only sessions from the comfort of your home, making care accessible no matter where you are in California. I accept Anthem and Magellan insurance. My practice is intentionally small — I keep a limited caseload so every client receives my full attention and care. I am warm, experienced, and deeply committed to showing up for the people I work with.

I've been doing this work for 18 years, and the thing I hear most from new clients is some version of: "I wasn't sure therapy would work for me." I get it. Finding the right fit matters — and I think fit has a lot to do with feeling like your therapist actually understands where you're coming from. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, and I bring a genuinely culturally informed perspective to the work. I see adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, family conflict, ADHD, identity questions, and relationship stress — across communities that are often underrepresented in mental health care. I'm direct when that's useful, patient when it's needed, and warm throughout.

I am currently accepting clients. As a therapist and a woman of color, I know firsthand how heavy life’s obstacles can feel when you’re trying to move through the world and still chase your dreams. Maybe you feel disconnected from the people you love, stuck in self-doubt and second-guessing, or worn down by unexpected changes in your relationships. If any of that resonates, please know you don’t have to carry it all alone, and you’re in exactly the right place.

Therapist

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. I strive to create an environment that is supportive, honest, and free of judgment; a place where you feel truly seen and emotionally safe. My approach is collaborative and practical. I don’t just help you understand why you feel the way you do; I help you build real tools to navigate it.

I earned my degree from Cal State Fullerton and have extensive experience working in addiction treatment, eating disorder recovery, and women’s issues. Supporting women is especially meaningful to me. I am deeply passionate about helping women navigate challenges related to self-worth, body image, relationships, boundaries, life transitions, and identity. I understand how trauma, societal expectations, and relational dynamics can shape how women see themselves, and I approach this work with both compassion and clarity.

Together, we focus on strengthening mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills in ways that feel realistic and sustainable. I blend insight-oriented exploration with concrete strategies, because meaningful change happens when insight meets action. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, feel more confident managing your emotions, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience.
