Abby Esquivel...
...is a walker of thresholds, a dreamer, and a clinician who has built her
practice in the places where things transform. Rooted in a multicultural heritage and
shaped by a deep relationship with Land, she brings to her work a sensibility that is
ecologically grounded, ancestrally informed, and clinically rigorous.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor,
EMDRIA Approved Consultant, birth doula, and end-of-life doula in training. She
strives to become a practitioner who attempts to hold the full arc of human life with
intention and care. As the founder of a group practice in Colorado, her clinical work
centers women, children, and families navigating trauma, toxic stress, and attachment
injuries. She is particularly devoted to the Latinx community and to the layered work ofhealing at the intersection of identity, belonging, and relational becoming.
Abby's approach integrates Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), EMDR, and expressive therapies within an ecological and relational framework. She is a student of plant and fungal kin, the slow intelligence of mycelium, the knowing held in root systems, and believes the more-than-human world has much to teach us about regulation, resilience, and meaning-making. Hiking and time in nature are not separate from her clinical life; they are woven into it. An intergenerational lens runs through everything she does. She works in liminal spaces not despite their difficulty, but because of what becomes possible there — at thresholds of grief, growth, culture, and transformation.
As a dream worker, she attends to the symbolic and the imaginal as doorways into deeper healing. In her consultation, training, and mentorship, Abby guides practitioners to embody attachment-informed and nervous-system-aware approaches with warmth, cultural attunement, and clinical depth. She is especially passionate about supporting clinicians who work at the edges: of disciplines, communities, and ways of knowing.
