Laura Esquivel Martinez, LMSW

Psychotherapist
541 Bay Ridge Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY
As a first-generation immigrant, bicultural individual, and psychotherapist, I intimately understand the complexities of balancing multiple identities while pursuing a fulfilling, meaningful life. My own journey has involved navigating cultural identities, building self-confidence, managing chronic illness, and working through the challenges of forming healthy relationships. Therapy became a transformative tool for me-a catalyst for growth and renewed faith in the power of positive change. These experiences taught me to embrace my identity and find strength within, inspiring me to help others do the same. I earned my Bachelor's degree from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Brownsville Campus and completed my Master's in Social Work at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, which have both enriched my understanding and approach to psychotherapy.

Getting to know Laura Esquivel Martinez

As a first-generation immigrant, bicultural individual, and psychotherapist, I intimately understand the complexities of balancing multiple identities while pursuing a fulfilling, meaningful life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a therapist, I specialize in working with immigrants facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I proudly offer services to English and Spanish-speaking clients, ensuring that therapy remains accessible and inclusive for those seeking culturally sensitive support. My clients often come to me seeking clarity, relief from overwhelming thoughts, and a way to honor both their mental and physical well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our work together, I blend evidence-based therapies—such as CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods—with a compassionate understanding of each person’s unique story. My approach is shaped by my hospital social work experience, where I developed a holistic perspective on health, empowering clients to build resilience and self-awareness. Over time, my clients report reduced stress, increased self-compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose, enabling them to live in alignment with their values and aspirations.
