Getting to know Esther Friedman

I am a clinical social worker with a master’s degree from Case Western Reserve University. I am licensed in both Arizona and Ohio. I have extensive experience in treating individuals facing adjustment challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, psychosis, obsessive compulsive disorder, and substance use disorders. With 12 years past military experience, I can relate to the challenges faced by vets. I am currently excepting new clients virtually in both Arizona and Ohio. I work with clients ages 14+. I work with individuals, couples, families, and the LGBTQ+ community. I utilize a range of evidence-based treatment modalities, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Faith-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) while also trusting the wisdom built on connection I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for lived experience. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where your story matters and your emotions are welcome. I look forward to helping you exceed your goals!

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.
