Hi there! I'm so glad that you are interested in beginning therapy! It can be a little bit scary but totally worth it. Here are a few things to know about me as a therapist: I've been practicing for 16 years and have my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy that I received from Texas Tech University. I specialize in working with couples, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, stress and women's issues. I'm also LGBTQ+ friendly.
Choosing to begin therapy is a meaningful step, and I'm honored to support clients as they navigate life's challenges. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, I bring more than 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, seniors, and families. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish, making it easier for clients to express themselves in the language in which they feel most comfortable. My background includes over two decades as a school counselor and the past five years in private practice, giving me a deep understanding of the emotional, relational, and life challenges people face across different stages of life.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with difficult emotions, or simply looking for a safe space to grow, I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard and understood.
Hello and welcome. I’m Ashley, a licensed clinical social worker, and I specialize in working with young adults (18+) and adults throughout adulthood who have experienced complex trauma and relational wounds. Many of the people I work with struggle with intense emotions, fear of abandonment, painful or unstable relationship patterns, a harsh inner critic, shame, or a sense of feeling lost or unsure of who they are.
These experiences can show up as complex trauma symptoms such as emotional overwhelm, mood shifts, dissociation, difficulty trusting others, people-pleasing, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.”
I believe trauma lives not only in the mind, but also in the body and in our relationships.
Together, we work to understand your emotional reactions and protective behaviors, not to judge them, but to help you feel safer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others.
If you recognize yourself in these experiences and are ready to work on trauma and relationship patterns, I would be honored to support you.
I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to feel heard and supported. I pride myself on being a proactive advocate for my clients, ensuring that every strategy we implement is tailored to their unique long-term goals.
My name is Dr. Elizabeth Marrufo-Esmele. I earned my Ph.D in psychology in January 2023. I specialize in the treatment of trauma. I have 8 years of clinical experience as a therapist.
