• Camila Espana, Registered Social Worker

    Hello, I’m Camila. My pronouns are she/her.

    There are many reasons to work with a therapist. Alone, we cannot lift a stone with just one finger- navigating through the ebbs and flows of life and relationships are no different. I’m here to lend you a hand. 

    For Individuals

    With over seven years of experience as a therapist, I offer a client-centered, relational, and solution-focused approach to therapy. I believe in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. 

    My work with individuals often centers on relationship challenges, sex and intimacy concerns, out-of-control sexual behaviors, and anger management. Whether you’re navigating a difficult life transition or seeking to better understand yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and practical guidance tailored to your unique needs.

    For Couples and Families

    I hold a post-graduate specialization in Couples and Family Therapy and have developed a strong foundation in working with complex relational dynamics. My expertise includes helping couples and families navigate high-conflict communication patterns and heal from betrayal trauma

    I strive to create a supportive and balanced space where all voices are acknowledged and where growth, trust, and reconnection can take root. My approach is collaborative, direct, and deeply attuned to the emotional and relational patterns that shape our closest connections.

    A Little About Me

     

    Outside the therapy room, I find joy in supervising therapist interns—supporting their growth and development is a meaningful part of my practice. In my personal life, I love cooking new recipes, enjoying the vibrant energy of stand-up comedy and live theatre, getting lost in movies with captivating plots, and reading heartfelt poems from emerging poets. You might also find me powering through a spin class, fueled by a good playlist and dance moves. These passions keep me grounded and energized, enriching the care and presence I bring to my work.

    Camila is accepting clients for appointments virtually and in-person at our downtown location.

    Camila offers therapy in English and Spanish.
