Help for tending and mending interpersonal relationships…
Esther I. Wei, a licensed marriage and family therapist, focuses on treating adult individuals and couples to facilitate trauma recovery and improve their relationships. Esther is skilled at helping to untangle blurry webs of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors in order to bring clarity to issues that may be the source of great pain and dissatisfaction. She provides a safe, empathetic environment so that clients feel heard and supported while they develop healthy relational and coping strategies.
