“Esther has the natural ability to bring warmth and welcome to any room she is in or person she is with.

I am honored to know her professionally and personally and strongly feel that the field of trauma recovery would be lacking without her ability to connect the community, educate, and help hurting people heal through her leadership and expertise as a trauma therapist, trainer, and speaker. It is clear that her core values as a human being are aligned with her work and her highly skilled team of therapists at Integrative Psychotherapy.

A lifelong learner, she is the person other therapists turn to for answers, guidance, and mentoring. I highly trust any training or educational offering Esther provides and am honored to be in her circle. Esther is profoundly thoughtful, paced, wise, and grounded which allows any client or audience she is connected with to also feel the same.

She has dedicated her career to learning from the best of the best, which means if you are taking one of her trainings, listening to an interview, working with her as a client, or consulting with her that you are certain to feel inspired, seen, and lead.

She is a leading expert in EMDR, Somatics, and Ego-state/parts work and humbly infuses this in all that she says and does. You are in good hands with Esther and I highly recommend her!

Founder Harper Therapy & Author Soul Sabbatical

“As a trauma therapist for over 13 years, I know first-hand that becoming a skilled, effective clinician in your trauma-focused practice requires more than only attending the latest trauma training or reading the current book that's all of the rage in the therapist communities.

Frankly, all of that goes out the window when you're sitting in front of that client who has the most intense trauma. You know, the one they make movies about. But for you, that's a Tuesday.

Effective trauma treatment is a combination of science and art. Wisdom and practice.

That's where Esther comes in.

Esther is a colleague who uses the most effective, evidence-based approaches to healing trauma in a way that is compassionate and wise. She brings together the most powerful components of several trauma modalities to teach clinicians about healing trauma interventions, and she brings her years of experience to support clinicians in how to handle sessions that are difficult.

And because trauma work can be dark work to carry, I also appreciate the humor she brings into the room, which is also very healing. I can’t recommend her trainings, consultation, and support enough!”

Esther offers clients direction and thorough understanding of the their treatment process by clearly explaining assessments, and therapy methods. In addition, Esther brings her unique dynamism and authentic passion to all areas of her work. I'd highly recommend her as a therapist of choice when seeking therapy or consultation.”

“Esther is just amazing at taking complex concepts and breaking them down into a no-psychobabble kind of way that I know is so appreciated and useful for individuals seeking therapy. I have no doubt that her clients feel quickly at ease and safe in her presence.

Esther's passion towards healing, her inspiring vision, and more than anything, her expertise is going really make this treatment center FLY. I'm so excited to witness this development. And very happy for those who will surely benefit.

Most individuals don't know this or appreciate it yet, but psychotherapy has come a long way. Traditional "talk therapy" is quickly fading while modalities that include the body, felt-sense, and concepts such as orienting, grounding, and centering have moved to the forefront -- because they work. Esther's got her finger on the pulse working confidently and passionately using these powerful interventions”
