Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship difficulties begin affecting how you feel about yourself and connect with others. You may find yourself overthinking, shutting down, feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling to communicate, or repeating patterns you wish you could change. You may also be worried about your child or teenager and unsure how best to help.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with more than 14 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I received my MSW from Hunter College School of Social Work. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship and family conflict, self-esteem concerns, everyday stress, and life transitions.

I also have a particular interest in helping women who struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, boundaries, or consistently putting others’ needs before their own. I provide therapy in English and Spanish.

Therapist

Deciding on a therapist can be a daunting experience; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy services via video and phone sessions. I have always known there was a need for high-quality mental health providers. Therefore, I focus my clinical practice on providing high-quality services and evidence-based interventions to my clients. I have treated many clients with a variety of diagnoses including: addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD and attention deficit disorder.


I have a strong passion to help people, and truly believe in each individual’s strengths and abilities. Some of the treatment modalities used are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach in an unbiased and non judgmental manner. Thus allowing me to create the holding space my clients need.


I have realized that when we understand our strengths and have developed them we are able to improve and or have a better quality of life. Sometimes we do not understand that a crisis can affect many different areas in our life and recognizing and acknowledging it is the first step in our journey to healing.

Amando Esguerra

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


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
