Room for Change

Room for Change Est. in 2014, Room for Change serves residents 12 and older in the Garland, Dallas (Oak Lawn), and Houston and throughout Texas online.

RFC counselors have masters or doctoral degrees and are ready to assist you with your mental health concerns. A letter from the Owner, Amanda Esquivel:

I received feedback recently that perhaps potential clients see our practice name, Room for Change, as something very different than it is intended. It was a blind spot for me as I’ve always been so focused on creating physical and emotional space that is welcoming enough for people of all walks of life to explore and to heal. I remember sitting up late one night a few years ago as the practice began to grow, knowing we needed a better moniker for the group as it wasn’t just me anymore. We had outgrown “Counselor Amanda”. I thought about hundreds of clients and their stories, all which centered around a culmination of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors they wanted do away with. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that bogged them down, made them feel hopeless and helpless. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors they were desperate to change. It was and is my job to help them change what is no longer useful while accepting who they are. Unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that no longer suit our clients are what we make space to change at RFC. I also know there are far too many people out there, whether it be because of who they are attracted to or love, the color of their skin, their levels of masculinity, femininity, and otherness, who are told they need to change. That their essence is wrong and that they need to change in order to fit in, to be loved, to be accepted. As you can imagine, this is far from my mission in this life as an accepting, affirming, and empowering counselor. But the word change has been used as a weapon against unwilling participants, and I want to be sensitive to that. I’m not here to blacklist the word “change” though, as it has its place. We at Room for Change help our clients work through and change whatever stands in the way of their own personal acceptance. Our own inner critics are the hardest to live with. Us counselors are here to help our clients shift from self critical to self loving, from anxious to peaceful, from lost to knowing who they are. Those are the changes we assist with. We have never and will never encourage clients to be anything but who they are, to love who they choose, and to live life as their healthiest best selves. We change the clouds for their sun to rise.

Don’t judge your life too early. Healing takes time, and so does becoming the version of you you’ve always hoped was possible. Like Mike Posner says, "Keep Going!"

Loved this post! The fits and the red hair are amazing!! What really hit for me, though, was how clearly he laid out the ADHD med experience: what helps, what doesn’t, and how hard access can be.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy…this is your sign that you don’t have to wait until you feel “ready.” Sometimes it really is just one session. One step. We’ll take it from there.

Learning by experience can take a long time and lead to a lot of pain. Imagine learning about relationships from an expert instead. Priyanka is ready to teach the basics of relationships through 5 one-hour groups in March. Register by calling/texting 214-385-5445 or emailing manager@roomforchange.info

Someone had to say it 🤷‍♂️ "Associate" status ≠ inexperienced. It means supervised, held to a high standard, and always leveling up. Exactly like the culture at Room for Change 😎

P.S. Einstein was a trip

Another Shoutout to Friendship Avenue and their upcoming event to help local kids struggling with bullying and with socializing. Please join their meetup if you have any kids in the area ages 6-17 that you think could benefit from additional friendships.
