About The Group Leader

Jael Esquibel

My name is Jael (she/her) and I’m a Licensed Counselor in Washington and Colorado. I’m passionate about empowering people, helping them live fuller lives and increasing their well-being. I identify as multi-ethnic with strong New Mexican, Latina cultural roots. I have over 11 years of counseling experience and have worked in community mental health, college counseling and career counseling, and I am currently in private practice. I have a strong passion for working with multicultural populations and specialize in LGBTQ2SIA+ populations. I have over 13 years of experience working with queer, trans, and multicultural populations as well as developing and providing trainings on LGBTQ2SIA+ populations and on topics of equity and inclusion to mental health professionals and organizations. My approach to counseling is collaborative, relational, compassionate, identity-affirming, culturally responsive and strengths based. My background in social justice and activism influences my work as a counselor and how I strive to show up inside and outside the therapy room. I enjoy teaching others and sharing the knowledge and experience I have gained to hopefully better support clinicians and the clients they serve.
