Meet Esther, the Director of Operations and Staff Therapist at Little Seed Wellness. As a proud first-generation Dominican American and mother, Esther is deeply passionate about expanding access to affirming mental health care for underserved communities. Growing up in an immigrant family shaped her commitment to building spaces rooted in cultural competence, inclusivity, and community care.

Esther’s clinical work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES) principles and radical self-acceptance. She welcomes and affirms neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, sex/kink, polyamorous, fat, and sex worker identities, with a strong focus on supporting BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and caregiving communities.

Guided by a social justice lens, Esther’s work explores the intersections of identity, oppression, and generational trauma in the healing process. She believes healing happens within supportive relationships and is committed to creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered to bring their whole selves. Her approach centers resilience, connection, joy, and self-acceptance, while honoring collective and community-based ways of healing.
