About Esther Zack
Esther Zack recognizes the courage it takes to admit when something in life is not working and to reach out for help. She emphasizes that while many people begin by searching for a particular technique, the most important ingredient for progress is the relationship between client and therapist. Esther approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own life and that the choices that brought them to this point made sense at the time - now may be the moment to find new ways forward.
She aims to walk alongside people as they move past what is blocking them, helping them access their own inner wisdom and answers. Her clients report experiencing her as warm, compassionate, supportive, easy to talk to, non-judgmental, a good listener, and deeply committed to their well-being. She also brings a ready sense of humor that many find helpful during difficult moments.
Esther has engaged in personal growth work throughout her life and has provided a wide range of support and advocacy for both native born Americans and people from 30+ ethnic groups around the world. She honors common human needs - to feel safe, to be seen and valued, to discover purpose, and for parents to create opportunities for their children - while also attending to the effects of racism, discrimination faced by LGBT communities, and other social inequities.
Her lived experience includes raising an adopted child as a single parent to successful adulthood, and she is passionate about supporting foster and adoptive parents. Esther’s clinical work includes helping individuals, couples, and families navigate change, heal from loss, and strengthen relationships. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), which denotes her professional training and licensure in marriage and family therapy.
