Getting to know Esther Carrera

Hi, I'm Esther, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade in mental health and six years working directly as a therapist. I've supported people in schools, ABA centers, public programs, and private practice, giving me a broad perspective on human growth and change. As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how overwhelming experiences-like loss, abuse, or chronic stress-can affect your sense of self, relationships, and ability to trust. In a safe, non-judgmental space, I work with you to explore these impacts and use evidence-based strategies to build emotional regulation, resilience, healthy boundaries, and self-trust. Together, we aim to restore your sense of safety, empowerment, and connection with yourself and others.

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.
