Esme Counseling
GWENDOLYN WORLEY
LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR
IN PERSON AND TELEHEALTH
Reaching out to a therapist feels like the first time in a bathing suit after a long winter on the couch.
Yes, it is scary. But it can also be transformative.
Whatever your reason for looking into therapy, I’m glad you’re here.
Are you ready to uncover what’s been holding you back?
My approach is holistic, collaborative, and strength-based. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. My goal is for clients to use therapy as a tool to gain enough insight and coping skills to think, feel, and behave in such a way that feels genuine and authentic to you.
Whether we realize it or not, we all live by rules shaped by our past. These patterns influence how we interact with others. Sometimes we get in our own way, limiting our growth, healing, and restoration.
When life feels overwhelming, everyone deserves a supportive space to talk with someone nonjudgmental and compassionate. We all need someone who walks alongside us to support change, hope, and strength.

Few things in life offer the healing power of a trusting, intimate relationship with another person, and developing that with a professional counselor is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
To explore working together, consider scheduling a free 15-minute call. This simple step could be the beginning of a journey toward greater insight, healing, and personal growth.

Benefits of counseling?
Therapy doesn't require a huge time investment; duration depends on your needs. Most clients notice changes in just a few sessions.
Increased self-awareness & better coping skills.
Emotions feel less intimidating, and I'm learning to be kinder to myself.
Acceptance that it's okay to not have it all together.
A confidential, supportive space to unpack everything (seriously, everything).
