Hello, I'm Melizza Esperanza, a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping adults on their journey toward healing and growth. Together, we'll explore maladaptive patterns, seeking not only to understand their roots but also to discover new, adaptive patterns and systems that lead to healing and empowerment.

I specialize in addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, complex family dynamics, and the stress that may accompany chronic illness or caregiving. You don't have to go through this journey alone; I'm here to provide compassionate, tailored support. My approach combines various modalities.
It's essential to clarify that my expertise is primarily focused on specific areas, and I may not be the best fit for individuals dealing with certain challenges, like: PTSD, severe anxiety, OCD, hoarding, agoraphobia, moderate depression with suicidal thoughts, severe depression, eating disorders, sex-related concerns, intimate partner violence or stalking.
