Art Therapy in 19406

I view clients as the experts in their own lives, and my goal is to create a warm, empathetic, and supportive partnership. I support people experiencing trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. As someone raised in Uganda, South Sudan, and Kenya, moving to the United States as a young adult, I am interested in supporting people processing cross-cultural transition and bicultural identity, as well as intergenerational, communal trauma and survivor’s guilt. As a queer therapist, I enjoy supporting LGBTQ+ clients as well.

If you're here, I probably don't need to tell you that the rate of depression in college students continues to rise and college counseling centers can't keep up. You're sad. You're empty. You're filled with doom about the plight of the world and you're not even sure if there's a point in trying anymore. I specialize in working with individuals who are depressed, self-harming or having thoughts of suicide. I'll help you balance your mood, increase your self-worth and improve your relationships so that you can actually enjoy life again rather than trying to escape it.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and their families, providing a range of services including individual and group therapy sessions.

In my practice, I strongly emphasize collaboration and work closely with school counselors, psychiatrists, and family physicians to ensure comprehensive and holistic care for my clients.

Espenshade Counseling provides creative and individualized treatment plans which typically incorporate therapy, coaching, case management, family support, and connections to outside providers such as psychiatrists, group programs, and nutritional support. As Director of Operations, I oversee our practice's intake/admissions process and play an important role in pairing new clients/families with the most appropriate team members. Once a new client/family engages in our services, I assist our Chief Clinical Officer in ensuring that the team is working effectively and collaboratively to achieve goals.

Are you an individual amidst a transition, soul-searching phase or seem to be stuck or uncertain in the next phase of their journey, I can help. While I can assist with a wide variety of challenges and difficulties, I specialize in trauma, as related to depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, ASD and special education. I utilize a variety of tools and techniques such as: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance-Commitment therapy (ACT). I am a lifelong teacher, learner and survivor, and I offer a toolbox full of coping skills and psychoeducation to help work through the healing process and the empowerment journey.

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I have always had a bit of a different approach to healing than traditional therapy. My studies have been both in counseling and in spiritual arts, including astrology, chakras and energy/sound healing. Each of us has certain patterns, ways we exist in this world. This brings us preferences and personality traits. I can help you to better understand yourself, your needs and to use your energies most effectively. Healing blockages frees you from past traumas and current emotional patterns. I can help you to shift your life to more ease, joy and peace through understanding and release.

Would you like to reach for your highest potential? I passionately love working with people who have an innate desire to better themselves and their lives. People who are looking for direction, possibly a little bit of hope, suggestions, encouragement and support on setting goals for their personal journey. My intention, utilizing a holistic approach, is to create and develop a relationship with each individual. Developing trust that can honor, guide and help transform each client. In providing a safe & supportive environment I consider it a privilege to hold space, validate, witness your experiences and encourage you.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges.

If you are tired of things as they are and need a change - it's time to take that step! Have you felt anxious, stressed, sad, lonely, misunderstood, disconnected, and overwhelmed? Have you come to find that your view of yourself and the way you experience relationships prevents you from finding happiness or meaning? Having a safe space - and taking the time to reflect is crucial. Reconsidering how you view yourself - and the way you relate to those around you - can shift your perspective. This can lead to personal enrichment and healthier boundaries in your life and relationships.
