Getting to know Essy Knopf

I'm Essy, a licensed therapist passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals in their journeys toward self-discovery, healing, and personal empowerment. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and a Bachelor's degree from UNSW Sydney. With a unique blend of lived experience and professional training, I specialize in helping clients confront and navigate complex challenges related to identity, trauma, and mental health in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes them. My goal is to create a therapeutic space that fosters genuine self-acceptance and growth, allowing clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered to thrive authentically.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
