Hi, I’m Dr. Esmie. (Dr Ez)

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and Research Psychologist with more than 30 years of experience in counseling, psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I hold a PhD in Psychology, specializing in cognitive neuropsychology, neuroplasticity, epigenetics and emotional intelligence, in correlation with behavioral changes. Healing is molecular therefore, healing comes from the creator God.

My personal journey with God is deeply woven into my approach to healing. Although I struggled with my faith during my younger years, God pursued me with grace, love, and faithfulness and transformed my life through a powerful encounter with Jesus. That experience became foundational to my relationship with Him and continues to shape how I serve others today.

Renew Your Mind Holistic, LLC, provides compassionate virtual counseling to individuals, couples, and families throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. My approach integrates psychology with the Word of God, biblical principles with evidence based clinical interventions, including Christian Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and other strength based approaches.

I help clients recognize unhealthy thoughts and behavioral patterns, process difficult experiences, develop healthier relationships, and cultivate emotional and spiritual resilience. I believe that our thoughts dictate our emotions and profoundly influences how we feel, behave, relate to others, and navigate life. As Scripture reminds us, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). However God knows the thoughts he has toward us are to prosper us and give us a bright future, Jeremiah 29:11. First we cast down the strongholds within our imaginations and bring every thought into captivity, 2 Corinthians 10:5.

My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful healing addresses the whole person mind, body, and spirit. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relational challenges, life transitions, questions of identity, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, valued, and respected.

I believe transformation begins with the renewing of the mind. My mission is to help you renew your mind, restore your wholeness, and move forward with greater faith, courage, emotional wellness, and purpose while recognizing God as the ultimate source of healing and restoration.

“So don’t be conformed to this world, be transformed by the Renewing of Your Mind. Romans 12:2
