November 8, 2023Kashawnna D.Verified patient
Dr. O, as I call her, is a perfect fit for me. She’s dry easy to talk to. She understands me from a female and African American perspective. She engaged me in my therapy by giving me homework. We are both lovers of the written word and of our faith. She offers scripture references and Christian encouragement.
I look forward to each session with Dr. O. She uses our time wisely and it’s obvious that she has a plan for me. Each week we go deeper and I open up more.
I highly recommend Dr. O.

She is such an amazing and caring person. I’ve tried to connect with many therapists over time, but no one has been as genuinely interested in me as she is. The session was great and insightful. Highly recommend!!

September 1, 2022Nioshah H.Verified patient
My experience was not good. Before even beginning the session, she took some of my session time to ask about my deductible. If I knew what it was so that she could decide on how often she would have me come back. She had not even heard my story yet. The whole first session was her asking questions and me Not able to let out why I asked for the session. After she continued to say I am doing good. Good???
And made sure to tell me to schedule to come back tomorrow. What??!!
My insurance was accepted and she still charged my card the amount!!
I would not recommend her for sessions nor will I be seeing her again.
August 18, 2022Elizabeth G.Verified patient
I felt as if I was being judged instead of being helped. I did not like that. And when I expressed that she tried to push harder for me to talk when I didn’t want to anymore. I don’t like to feel like I’m being judged.
July 30, 2022Efe O.Verified patient
Was very empathetic , understanding and informative! Made me feel comfortable sharing my concerns and helped me see what told I needed to move forward!
July 25, 2022Dania S.Verified patient
She's a very sweet empathetic therapist who really listens to me. I feel so much clearer after we talk about my issues and I've learned something new each time.
July 15, 2022Myra M.Verified patient
She was very helpful and listeners to everything i had to say. Definetly would recommend to anyone. She was right on time with my appointment and wasn’t rushing to end it like most of these others therapists. So overall the experience was great highly recommended!
July 12, 2022Carlos M.Verified patient
She was late and told me it was because she needed a snack. Then she smacked the entire time while eating. I was distracted by the the dogs barking and the people in the background talking loudly.
Her internet connection was really bad she could not see my face and told me that without seeing my face she could not properly evaluate me. she cut out a lot of the end of our session so I had no idea what she was talking about. Her phone rang two times and she had to ask me multiple times to repeat myself. then she also got text messages throughout our session.
there was a few times I felt like she was being judgmental and giving me her pure opinions on things which made me uncomfortable.
This was my first therapy session and I was very disappointed in how it went I really hope that she treats others with more respect and professionalism.

My appointment went well! The doctor listened to me and had great feedback. It can be hard to navigate finding a doctor digitally, but I was happy to have had my meeting today.

Esther is great for my daughter. She gives practical ideas to help with the anxiety / depression issues she is working through. My daughter looks forward to her weekly appointments.
June 3, 2022Shanon M.Verified patient
She is a great listener and makes you feel comfortable from the start. I really enjoyed my sessions with her and will book again.
May 16, 2022Erica S.Verified patient
I was very disappointed in my visit. I could not understand her and felt like she was not listening to me. Her dogs were barking in the background and she had to take them out. Her phone rang, was fumbling with papers. It was extremely distracting and frustrating trying to have an important conversation with that going on. She asked me a bunch of questions that could have been answered prior to the appointment instead of taking up almost 45 minutes of my time during the visit. She seemed very disorganized and unprofessional. Do not recommend.

This was my first visit, but I look forward to the next. I was nervous about what I would talk about or how I would dive into things, but she guided the conversation and made me feel very comfortable answering questions just to get to know me.

Esther is great for my daughter. She listens and provides actionable steps for my daughter to work on in between visits. Definitely recommend her for teens that are struggling in life.
