Esbeide "Esby" Garcia-Mondragon, LCSW

Founder & Clinical Director

Esbeide, who many clients know as “Esby,” believes that true healing happens when people step into their own strength and take an active role in their lives.

Her approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, and solution-focused, helping clients build confidence, self-worth, and create meaningful, lasting change.

She works with teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges, including cycles of abuse, healthy relationships, and teen dating. She also supports new and expecting parents through maternal mental health and the emotional shifts that come with this stage of life.

Her work focuses on helping clients build independence, strengthen self-esteem, and break patterns of codependency to create healthier, more balanced relationships.

Esbeide has experience working in community and school-based settings, supporting foster youth, commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC), survivors of sexual abuse, and individuals with more complex needs.

She brings a calm, grounded, and direct presence, helping clients feel more in control, capable, and aligned in their lives.
