Ester Belshe-Anderson
Care that is relational, thoughtful, and compassionate.
M.S., LAC, LPC-A
Ester is a warm, compassionate, inviting presence. She has spent over 18 years committing herself to understanding the complexities of attachment and the multidimensional perspectives of those impacted by adoption. As an optimistic realist, Ester holds both the truth of the struggle, and the hope of the healing. She has a heart for helping individuals discover their voice, regain their footing during and after difficult seasons, establishing peace, and reconnecting with joy. Dedicated to meeting humanity with humanity, Ester joins in both the mourning and the rejoicing.
Ester is passionate about supporting and empowering adoptive moms dealing with isolation and a lack of understanding, tending to the often invisible wounds of those in the adoption triad, educating about and helping individuals heal from early attachment wounds, tending to the hearts of those grieving visible and invisible losses, and providing help for the helpers.
Ester works with children, teens, adults, and families through in-person counseling on Summerhill Road, with online counseling available for Texas and Arkansas clients.
