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'm warm, open, encouraging, and direct. My goal is to help you gain enough insight and coping skills to think, feel, and behave in ways that feel genuine and authentic to you.
Whether you realize it or not, you live by rules shaped by your past. These patterns influence how you interact with others, and sometimes you get in your own way — limiting your own growth, healing, and restoration.
When life feels overwhelming, you deserve a supportive space to talk with someone nonjudgmental and compassionate — someone who walks alongside you 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).
