ABOUT ESTEBAN

"I believe we grow through relationships with ourselves, with others, or with the cultural and social worlds we live in."

Esteban’s practice is rooted in honesty, courage, and humility. He creates a space where people feel safe to speak openly, supported as they navigate challenges, and encouraged to explore new perspectives at a pace that feels right for them.

In addition to his professional training, Esteban brings over a decade of personal experience as a client himself. Having worked through trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and life transitions, he understands both the vulnerability and the potential for growth that therapy can offer. This lived experience informs his work and helps him meet clients with empathy, understanding, and respect.

Esteban also has years of experience facilitating group learning and supporting people through professional and personal transitions, from navigating new careers to rebuilding after major life changes. He works with individuals facing complex trauma, identity exploration, or the challenges of connecting with themselves during times of uncertainty.

Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Person-Centered Therapy, Esteban tailors his approach to each person’s needs while staying attuned to how therapy impacts not just thoughts and emotions, but also relationships, behaviours, and overall well-being.

He holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) and is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), practicing under supervision.

 If you’re looking for a therapist who combines professional insight with lived understanding, and who approaches therapy with compassion and courage, Esteban would be honoured to support you on your journey
