About Me
Esti Schonbrun LCSW-C
I work with adults who are healing from complex trauma, relationship wounds, betrayal, and the kind of disconnection that often shows up as anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt. My approach blends neurobiological insight with deep compassion; creating a space where you can slow down, tune in, and come back into relationship with yourself.
In our work together, we’ll go beyond surface-level insight and into the lived experience of your body. We’ll slow down. Get curious. Listen for what’s been waiting to be felt, named, and released.
This is a space for reclaiming your story, building grounded confidence, and living with more clarity, presence, and self-trust.
- Trauma and PTSD
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Relationship challenges and betrayal trauma
- Religion recovery
- Highly sensitive people
- Self-worth and identity
- Grief and life transitions
I believe healing happens when we honor both the story and the sensations; when we bring gentle attention to what’s been held in the body, not just what’s been said out loud.
In our work together, we’ll focus on restoring a felt sense of safety, exploring the patterns shaped by past experiences, and move toward authenticity with care and curiosity. This isn’t therapy that just helps you cope. It’s therapy that helps you come home to yourself.
My style is integrative, relational, and deeply attuned to the body’s wisdom. I offer trauma-informed, somatic therapy that meets you where you are, and helps you reconnect with your internal clarity and aliveness.
I draw from a range of body-based and attachment-oriented modalities, including:
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Somatic Experiencing (SE)
- Polyvagal Theory
- Attachment-based therapy
- NARM® (NeuroAffective Relational Model)
- Compassionate Inquiry
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll follow what feels true in the moment, trusting your body’s cues, your inner knowing, and the deep capacity within you to heal.
