Lauren Esquivel

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy in Texas with 3+ years of professional work experience. I received my bachelor’s degree in Art from Texas Lutheran University in 2010 then attended Abilene Christian University in Dallas, Texas where I received my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in May of 2021. I have experience in working with children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families as they work through issues of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and enhancing parental skills. I view therapy as an empowering process that provides people with opportunities to learn about themselves, make changes, and live the story they want to live. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I approach counseling as a journey towards something better. My goal is to create a safe, accepting, positive environment where people can explore their story as I walk beside them as a partner through their therapeutic experience. In my free time, you can find me hanging out with my precious family and my dogs, Dottie, Minnie, and Annie. I enjoy watching movies with my husband (especially Star Wars and Lord of the Rings), reading, singing and dancing in the car with her son, and telling corny jokes. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I can’t wait to get started on this journey with you!
