Esmeralda Verma

Esma Verma, LCSW, is a trauma therapist specializing in complex PTSD and relationship issues. She provides online therapy throughout California and in-person therapy in San Francisco and West Los Angeles. Her approach is focused on helping clients understand and heal at the root, not just manage what’s on the surface. Esma holds an MSW from the University of Southern California and brings over 10 years of clinical experience to her work. She has completed extensive post-graduate training in trauma treatment, including advanced Brainspotting with David Grand, PhD, the founder of the model. Her training at the Pacific Trauma Center further deepened her expertise in complex trauma and attachment-based therapy. Esma intentionally keeps her practice small so she can offer each client a high level of care, presence, and attention. Esma helps clients overcome anxiety, set boundaries, process unresolved trauma, and improve relationships. She works with clients who are feeling stuck but have the desire to improve. Therapy with her is designed to be a collaborative and meaningful process, one that supports clarity, emotional depth, and lasting change over time.
