You are not the challenges that you are experiencing, nor are you defined by them.
Welcome! My name is Jennifer Esquivel-Parker and I am a Senior Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #122253). I am supervised by Mona Klausing, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA #101243).
I acknowledge that finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. Thanks for taking this first step and reading about my therapeutic approach and a little about me. I provide a culturally-sensitive, non-judgmental space that honors your experiences, knowledge and strengths to work on what you might currently be encountering in life. Using Narrative Therapy practices and Solution-Focused foundations, I work in a collaborative and compassionate way that puts you at the center in order to support you and your goals.
I identify as a Latinx, cis gender woman, feminist, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ ally and spiritual. Before focusing on Marriage and Family Therapy, I earned a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies and worked for almost twenty years with students at a public university. All these aspects make me aware of the dominant societal structures, narratives, expectations and pressures that can impact your story and how you live it.Â
It would be a privilege to partner with you and build a relationship based on understanding, trust and respect. You are not the challenges that you are experiencing, nor are you defined by them. I look forward to supporting you as you write your story and build your preferred way of life.Â
My fees are $80-125 per 45-minute session (based on household income). I can also accept Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare insurance under my supervisor’s license.
It would be a privilege to partner with you and build a relationship based on understanding, trust and respect.Â
