TRAUMA & EMDR PSYCHOTHERAPY
What brings you to therapy?
Maybe worry follows you through the day, grief feels heavy, or familiar reactions are getting in the way of your relationships. You might know why something affects you and still wish it felt different.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a particular kind of history to come to therapy.
We can talk about what’s been difficult and what you’d like to change. Trauma psychotherapy and EMDR are central to my work, alongside support for anxiety, grief, and everyday emotional challenges.

BELIEFS & EMOTIONAL PATTERNS
The stories we learn to believe about ourselves
Experiences can leave us with stories about who we are. Even when those stories aren’t fair or accurate, they can affect our confidence, relationships, and choices.
“I'm responsible for other people's feelings.”
“I don't belong.”
“I'm not safe.”
“I have to be perfect.”
“My needs don't matter.”
We can explore where these beliefs came from and work with the experiences behind them, through EMDR and other approaches.

A DISTINCTIVE SPECIALTY
Between cultures, expectations, and finding your own way
Growing up between cultures or moving to a new country can bring more than one set of expectations. Sometimes, the values you grew up with and the life you want don’t fit neatly together.
For first-generation immigrants, that might mean building a life somewhere new while missing familiar people and routines. For second-generation immigrants, it might mean finding your own way between family traditions and the world around you.
We can talk about belonging, responsibility, guilt, or independence, while also making room for the strengths and connections your culture brings. You don’t have to choose between your roots and yourself.
You’re welcome here whether cultural identity is part of your story or you’re coming for something else.

Hi, I'm Angelica.
I'm Angelica Esposito, MA, MSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist. I bring a warm, collaborative, down-to-earth approach to our conversations.
I value genuine connection, honest questions, and a little humour when it fits the moment.
I take our work seriously, but that doesn't mean every moment has to feel serious. There’s room for natural conversation alongside difficult emotions.
Having lived across cultures myself, I’m interested in what identity and belonging mean to you—without assuming our stories are the same.
