I'm Rosemary Esperanza, a bilingual Afro-Puerto Rican Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering telehealth psychotherapy for women across New York State. A lot of the women I work with look completely capable from the outside. They're holding careers, families, relationships and quietly, inside, they're exhausted. They're carrying anxiety, depression, or the particular weight of always having to be "the strong one." Therapy with me is about slowing that down. Getting honest about what your body and your life have been asking for. We work on building real emotional steadiness so when things get intense, you can stay grounded instead of spiraling, shutting down, or pushing through. We look at the patterns that keep repeating in your relationships. The places where your boundaries get blurry. What it would actually mean to choose yourself without guilt. And we go deeper: the core beliefs you've carried for years, the old stories you inherited about your worth, and how your past experiences still shape how you show up today. I use evidence-based approaches alongside somatic and body-based tools because real change should be felt in your day-to-day life, not just understood in your head.
I offer therapy in English or Spanish/Spanglish for women across New York State.
Every session is guided by evidence-based practices that honor your story and support your healing at your own pace.
Your therapeutic journey is tailored specifically to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
Your privacy is paramount. All sessions and records comply with federal privacy standards.
Therapy that understands and honors your cultural identity, traditions, and the strength of your heritage.
My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, which means I draw from a range of evidence-based methods and adapt them to what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Modalities I draw from include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - identifying and shifting the thought patterns keeping you stuck; Schema Therapy - working with the deeply held beliefs formed in childhood that shape how you see yourself and others; Internal Family Systems / Parts Work - getting to know the different parts of yourself with curiosity instead of judgment; Somatic and body-based approaches - using the body as a pathway to healing, not just the mind; Motivational Interviewing - meeting you where you are and supporting your own clarity and readiness for change; NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) - focusing on the patterns of disconnection that form early in life and continue to shape your adult experiences; and Mindfulness-informed strategies - building present-moment awareness and nervous system regulation. All treatment is individualized to your specific goals, history, and the pace that's right for you.
