Marianne Esterly MA, LMHC

Marianne is the founder of Thrive Counseling Kirkland and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State. My approach to counseling is to provide a safe and healing place in order for my clients to know their story and the impact that they have on their world.  It takes courage to live authentically, to come to where you are today. My goal is to work with you, to help you live the life that you were meant to live - using your voice, your gifts, and who you are, to honor where you have come from to be the person you are today. I view my work as a privilege, to come alongside you, to help guide you towards wholeness.  By looking at how you relate to yourself and others, we can gain insight about how to move towards who you are uniquely created to be.  I believe that each person deserves respect, compassion, empathy and love.
