Supporting the process to find or reach your own personal goals. I use a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment to help determine the areas in your life you need or want support. My approach to therapy is client centered, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing when appropriate. Most of my practice has focused on issues with trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and addictions. I am aware of the technological transformation that has occurred in the way we live and communicate.

Thank you for considering Better Help to be a support for you! Change is easier when you feel heard, understood, validated and empowered. I believe that a trusting and honest relationship where your therapist helps you feel that you are the expert to your experience is extremely important to your belief that you can achieve the goals you set for yourself. My name is Charlene Esquilin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Hunter College in 2013. I identify as a Hispanic/Black Female and I believe my identity can be relatable for many. I grew up in a community where getting support through counseling was not very supported. As I've gotten older I began to understand the importance of feeling supported, validated and getting guidance from someone that looks like me and can relate to me . Having that connection was and is so vital to how I developed and are continuing to develop my identity and confidence. My desire is to be this support for others.

Having that connection was and is so vital to how I developed and are continuing to develop my identity and confidence. My desire is to be this support for others. I have found that using a client center approach in sessions is very beneficial to building a safe and supportive environment. My goal in therapy is to create a comfortable space where clients feel that they are seen as people, that they can share whatever they feel comfortable to share at their own pace and that they feel heard and that their feelings and and valid no matter how big or small. It is also a goal of mine to provide an environment where I come alongside clients in a collaborative way to support them to accomplish the goals that are important to them. During my time in this field I have learned that providing a respectful, nonjudgmental environment is what contributes to a healthy therapist-client relationship where the client can thrive and feel most empowered. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families which include working with children and adults with disabilities, working with individuals who have open ACS cases, as well as adults, children, teenagers and families experiencing challenges connected to emotions likes anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, addictions and adjusting to different life situations.

I have been called a “Soul Whisperer” by clients due to being highly intuitive, however it is more about teaching others to listen to their own intuition which knows what is in their most highest and greatest good for a full satisfying life. I love to inspire others to change the story that they tell themselves about the events that have happened in their lives, as this story was based on stress responses, emotional trauma, perceived fear, and outdated messages from the conditioning and programming received in childhood, leading to psychological, emotional and physical pain. Life is like a mirror that reflects back all the hurt, disappointment, anger, betrayal, rejection, abandonment, unmet needs, unrealistic expectations, guilt, shame, and disillusionment that a person holds onto as a victim of their circumstances. On the other side of depression and anger, anxiety and panic attacks, trauma and PTSD, borderline personality and addiction is self-understanding, self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, self-respect, resiliency, serenity, peace, and joy. I remember asking one of the counselors that I worked with twenty years ago, “Has there ever been anyone that you could not help as I think I might be that person because I am beyond repair, broken, damaged and there is no hope for me.” This counselor laughed and said “Never. I have a partnership with the Creator and no one has ever walked away without experiencing incredible personal growth and you won’t be my first.” She was right! I am 100% committed and dedicated to helping others discover meaning and purpose in their lives by supporting them on their own healing journey to stop the cycle of pain, addiction, violence, abuse, discrimination, abandonment, bullying, neglect, suicide, and trauma, all of which I have personally experienced myself. I am confident that I can help anyone who is truly looking to heal. It is not only about managing symptoms, but finding the source of suffering to promote clarity, healing, honesty, growth, compassion, forgiveness, accountability, self-care, and empowerment. It is about changing the self-talk, inner dialogue, and belief systems that no longer serve them and interferes with a healthy mind, body, and spirit connection. I am very passionate about helping others understand the negative thinking, victim mentality, shame cycle, codependency and emotional issues underlying mental health struggles and/or substance abuse patterns that keep them stuck, stagnant and enslaved to repeating behaviors that lead to self-sabotage and self-destruction. I am a caring, engaging, empathetic, and compassionate professional mental health and substance abuse counselor, with a very strong theoretical foundation in evidenced-based modalities, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Reality Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodrama, Breath Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Inner Child Work. I also encourage clients to discover the blocks that hold them back from moving ahead in the areas of career, finances, relationships, personal growth, recreation, health, romance and spirituality. I motivate others to let go of enabling and co-dependency, set and maintain healthy boundaries, practice reflective listening and conscious communication, process grief and loss, and discover the meaning and purpose of living. I look forward to helping anyone that is ready to embark on healing the past, embracing the present, creating a new future, and living an authentic and truthful life.

I would like to start with this quote as an encouragement to you. "Motivation is not something you wait to get, motivation is something that you do," by Sharon L. Johnson. This quote is to encourage you to increase your motivation. I encourage you to be a go-getter, a self-starter, be ambitious, be self-driven, and go after your heart desires and your dreams, set goals and seek to achieve them. I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York with over 10 years of professional work experience. I am also Haitian, having migrated to the U.S. in my early teens, and thus I speak fluently French and Haitian Creole, as well as English. I use Cognitive-Behavioral therapy and Humanistic therapy when working with individuals with all sorts of emotional distress and mental health problems to help treat those problems and enhance a better well-being emotionally, mentally, physically, and holistically. Relaxation exercises and mindfulness meditation, conjoined with restructuring the individual's thinking, applying problem-solving skills, and showing great empathy, will help the individual solve problems in their lives, resolving conflicts, gaining better self-awareness, and have an increased happiness and overall improved well-being. I am also specialized in motivational interviewing counseling, a collaborative approach to helping individuals make positive changes around substance use behaviors and other behaviors that are maladaptive for better appropriate, new learned, positive behaviors. I have experience in helping treating many clinical disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, adjustment difficulties, schizophrenia, substance abuse problems, and so forth. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. As a last encouraging expression: 'Be tenacious, hold on in doing what you know works for you. Practice in doing what works. Skill building requires practice.'
