Esma Verma, LCSW

Hi, my name is Esma. Clients come to my practice looking for a therapist who can get to the root of their problem. 

I specialize in helping you overcome feelings of anxiety, process unresolved trauma and build confidence so that you can live your best life.  I will support you through life transitions and help you feel less stuck and stressed out. 

My style is caring, interactive and dynamic, focusing on the mind-body connection.  I have a nurturing, caring personality which I combine with  practical therapeutic solutions and exercises  in order to help you reach your goals and achieve change. I understand that having a safe and caring connection with your therapist is  key in achieving healing, revealing hidden strengths and reaching your potential.

I am truly invested in my client's well-being. I listen attentively as you tell me about your views, emotions, experiences and I provide insightful and engaging responses. 

I'm able to gently guide and challenge my clients on their journey to healing and to create a life that allows for experiencing more love, abundance, aliveness and lasting change.  

I also specialize in complex ptsd (C-PTSD) and adults who experience relationship and attachment issues due to childhood trauma and emotional neglect. 

"I show up as my authentic self to each session because I know how important it is to be able to trust and relate to your therapist."

I'm a licensed therapist, practicing for 10 + years with a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. I'm also a certified clinical trauma professional and a level 2 Brainspotting Clincian. 

Throughout my therapy practice I have worked with many clients from diverse personal and professional backgrounds and I've helped them understand the root issues behind unwanted patterns and how to develop internal strategies for grounded confidence and a more fulfilling life. 

I combine tried and tested techniques and personalize them into a unique approach to help guide you into your healing journey, learn to uncover root issues and let go of old patterns that may be keeping you from reaching your goals. 

My goal is to help clients reach a happier and more balanced place, armed with a toolbox that they can use for the rest of their lives.

I work with clients who are feeling stuck and overwhelmed but have the desire to improve. Clients who are highly motivated to start working on themselves.

This is a safe and dedicated container for deep, intensive work that sets the foundation for transformation. 

I know that change is possible for you. I provide holistic and integrative therapy to support you on your journey to healing so you can live life on your own terms and create a life you love.
