Rosemary Esperanza, LCSW

I founded Come Home to You after 13+ years on the frontlines of community mental health. I have provided psychotherapy to women of all ages, different cultures, and different phases in their lives. Women who seem to be managing things well on the outside, but struggling with depression, anxiety, relational ruptures, complex trauma and major life transitions. Understanding the dynamic of having to hold it all in while inwardly unraveling is exactly where my work lives. I'm a psychotherapist in New York State, a certified holistic practitioner, and a breakthrough coach for women who feel obligated to be in a relationship with a mother who hurt them, because they have a difficult time choosing themselves without guilt. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and the Spanglish that lives somewhere in between the two languages. As an Afro-Puerto Rican woman born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I bring my whole self into this work because I believe that the best healing happens when you feel genuinely met, not just clinically assessed. I thrive when I see you thriving! My career has been dedicated to helping women find their voices again. So many of us hide behind masks forced upon us by early experiences that have shaped our adult realities. Many of us walk around feeling empty, confused, unfulfilled, trapped, or hypervigilant, not understanding the why. Some of us never allow ourselves to fully feel joy out of fear that something awful might happen. Some of us find ourselves irritable, angry, unable to trust, all while wanting to feel safe, secure, and accepted. I’m going to be honest… Internal work is not easy. It is an emotional investment that will cost you. It will cost you everything that is not meant for you, but you will gain the internal peace that you seek when you go all in and invest in yourself. I know. I’ve been there. Whichever path you chose in your journey with me, it will be an honor to walk alongside you.
