Essie Shachar-Hill

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Accepting clients Last Updated 23 days ago

People often come to therapy to try to understand something: something about themselves, their relationships, or their past experiences. I enjoy joining my clients in these moments of exploration with warmth, attunement, and collaboration. I specialize in working with people of marginalized experiences and identities. If you have ever felt like an outsider because of your identities, past experiences, sensitivity, gifts, or because of how you live in this world, you deserve a space that is dedicated to your healing and growth.

I specialize in working with marginalized folks including queer, trans, kinky, polyamorous, and neurodivergent clients.
