Its taken me almost 2 months to write this post; Im now being seen with 2 PhD level UCSD psychologists both of whom confirmed that the advice I received from Esmerelda Christenson was not only wrong but also very dangerous. I only had 2 sessions with her during which time she suggested I reconnect with a physically abusive person, which left me having anxiety attacks for about a week. Obviously this is personal information I am divulging but I hope to save someone else from suffering what I experienced at this clinic.
Esmeralda is incredible. She has transformed my thinking and my life! I look forward to seeing her every month.
This therapist is great.
