Esma Verma, LCSW
Hi, my name is Esma. 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 level 5 Brainspotting Clincian.
Clients come to my practice looking for a therapist who can get to the root of their problem and facilitate change at a deep nervous system level.
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 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.
Sometimes all you need is a guide. A professional who has expertise not only through years of knowledge and clinical experience but also through personal experience.
I've experienced attachment trauma myself and have developed a unique toolbox that I have used in my own healing journey.
“My therapeutic approach is one of wholeness. Rather than finding temporary relief of symptoms, I help clients find lasting growth and healing.”
Do You Struggle With Any of These?
Easily overwhelmed and irritated.
Intellectualize your feelings (understanding why you feel a certain way but still can't get rid of the symptoms).
Don’t go for things you want due to fear of rejection.
Wish you were more self-confident.
Often feel fatigued, sad, apathetic, or burnt out.
Constantly feel like you’re not good enough.
Have a hard time saying “no” to others.
Feel like you’re always stressed out.
Get flooded with anxiety during social situations.
Having a hard time sleeping.
Scared about having another panic attack.
Think you need to “keep everything together” for other people.
Have a hard time relaxing.
Relationship probelms.
Feeling lonely even when you're around other people.
Wish that you could be more present in your own life.
I might be the right therapist for you
“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.”
