I served in the U.S. Army Reserve for 8 years. At 18, I started working serving others in various capacities (customer service rep, tutor, case manager) and found my passion was helping people through the hardest times in their life. In my free time, I enjoy adventures and exploring new places. I become giddy walking into new attractions or local small business restaurants. I ran my first marathon in 2022 - and will never do that again. I love traveling and immersing myself in new cultures. I’ve been fortunate to make memories with my partner in North America, Central America, Asia, and Europe. Life has so much goodness to offer; I hope to continue experiencing it and helping you find it for yourself as well. PROFESSIONALLY: I am an expert at listening to my clients and reflecting their feelings, beliefs, and meaning. I hold up a metaphorical mirror to help you see yourself and your life patterns. I enjoy working with people who feel stuck and want to make healthy and adaptive changes in their lives. I empower clients by helping them identify their current strengths and providing new skills to practice as well as insights to ponder. Humor, movie references, and half cliches are my go-to’s in sessions for rapport, connection, and points of reference. In therapy, you can explore your feelings, process your experiences, and have a safe space to vent & learn. I’m known to send clients articles or resources that pertain to the themes they’re working on in therapy. Check out my credentials to continue learning about me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1638942569775-07VJSFOGF5RRI2W8FD4O/pink+cloud.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1638942658768-E7TCQ9DJKPBEU1WL44VS/pink+flower.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1638942979560-WX6PY9YCPDGJ72R4KWMI/heart+lgihts.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1650574566867-2SX019TVOMQNATYP609V/unsplash-image-OH5BRdggi2w Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1653683852634-AEC05E15QW6S533H7JML/unsplash-image-9A-Z4nHrIZk.jpg Adriana Espinosa | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/contact-adriana-espinosa-addison-texas daily 0.75 2025-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/358c1db7-682a-4ae4-adf8-f72f2eb5d378/Logo+2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1689111287555-F2LTT5PQHMT7LBP8CTMW/image-asset.jpeg https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/resources-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1634430728310-EFPIV9DB1R9148QP207P/gps.png Resources | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The magenta line in a pilot’s GPS is a tool used to guide the plane safely through the sky.

If you’re struggling with relationships, it’s possible bad things have happened. You could have been taken advantage of, you don’t trust yourself, you struggle to be completely vulnerable with others, you are a people pleaser, you give so much of yourself to others and get nothing in return. This could all be due to relational trauma or attachment wounds. This could include abuse by a partner, neglect by a caregiver, sexual assault by a stranger, or any other inappropriate or disturbing display of “love.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1647922922675-Y3HVDBF0E1PI29FKOVKD/unsplash-image-0-uzdU3gUYw.jpg Therapy for Codependency & Attachment | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - Can we do this instead?

Every single person on this Earth has experienced some kind of trauma. When overwhelming, scary, or incredibly stressful events occur in your life, your brain cannot always process it smoothly like any ordinary event. The event becomes a stuck memory where you have triggers such as uncomfortable body sensations, disturbing mental images, intense uncontrollable emotions, or negative beliefs about yourself or the world. Your whole mood and attitude towards life is affected by the trauma you’ve suffered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1647975825106-I0WEKBEML3RQQY0RA1Y3/unsplash-image-CmO_GydmKaY.jpg Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The healing. EMDR can help you process the stuck memories to smooth them out and reduce or eliminate all of the yucky stuff attached to them. We use bilateral stimulation to connect the brain and the body. EMDR can be intense - as we are essentially re-wiring the brain and making the missing puzzle pieces fit - yet it’s so worthwhile for your healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648232863635-LBVA3XU93ICWQL5FC2H0/unsplash-image-t1XLQvDqt_4.jpg Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The process. 1) History & Treatment Planning: I’ll learn more about you and your story while making note of the trauma you’ve experienced. 2) Preparation: We’ll talk about how EMDR can be helpful to you. You’ll learn relaxation & coping strategies for short term relief. 3) Assessment: We’ll activate the target memory and identify pertinent related beliefs, images, emotions, and body sensations. 4) Desensitization: You’ll use BLS (tapping or buzzies) to reprocess the trauma and reduce the disturbance as new thoughts, images, emotions, and body sensations emerge. 5) Installation: You will strengthen a positive belief about the memory until it feels true. 6) Body Scan: You’ll hold onto the positive belief and scan your body for any lingering disturbing body sensations. 7) Closure: We’ll stop BLS and orient you back to the present with a coping strategy you learned previously so you’re ready to go back into your world. 8) Re-evaluation: To start every session, we’ll process anything new that has come up and collaboratively decide where to go next. https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/expressive-arts-therapy-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1647983157390-MY466LLDMICF0P8T4GX1/unsplash-image-lVXPKY478wA.jpg Expressive Arts Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The freedom. Talk therapy is great. But sometimes there are things underneath the surface that we may not even be aware of yet. It can feel weird at first - a grown person with crayons and construction paper in hand - but it can also feel completely freeing if you give it a chance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648233975481-AADKL4QXYJV7GYR6MRA0/unsplash-image-HTs7o4cWWsY.jpg Expressive Arts Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The understanding. Utilizing the arts in therapy can open up your path to self-discovery as you uncover feelings through your creations. Art offers a release of emotions and even stress relief since art is a healthy outlet to express yourself and consequently relax your mind & body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648233945920-VQZXI1V4G7OAMFZJGW3H/unsplash-image-vvXmOOL2dRE.jpg Expressive Arts Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The process There’s so many things you can do to express yourself with art. Engaging in art by drawing, coloring, collaging, or writing can bring to surface thoughts or feelings we’ve been avoiding or not understanding. With sand tray, we can use miniatures to create scenarios and see your world in 3D to better understand what’s happening in your life. https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/strengths-based-therapy-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1647983578846-UFRBOFY4ATL4UZF8VEFL/unsplash-image-UOavP_Z38lE.jpg Strengths Based Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The alive-ness. You have purpose and there is meaning to your life - it’s all up to you. You have this amazing responsibility to yourself to be good and loving and kind - or whatever you want to be. I can help you get there by walking beside you as you identify your values, strengths, goals as well as your barriers and challenges. We’re figuring this life thing out together. Essentially, you get to decide what it means to be alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1647983543986-NA1Q9LCIBSTZE8YFRYRF/unsplash-image-dnL6ZIpht2s.jpg Strengths Based Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The potential. You are the expert of you. I use person centered beliefs which means I go with your flow. I respect your autonomy since you’re the master of your life and it’s your life to live. I operate out of the existential framework, which means I believe that all humans are born to live out their potential and create their authentic selves. You included. You have strengths that need to be celebrated, encouraged, and nourished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648234484785-7U3L95WNMJMTM9RD4F0O/unsplash-image-tevURSK48S8.jpg Strengths Based Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The process. I may ask you open-ended questions to provoke deeper thought about situations such as, “what does that mean to you?” or to have you notice your whole self such as “where do you feel that anxiety in your body right now?” or to help you identify your emotions such as “I wonder what that must have felt like for you.” I may gently question your actions and have you ponder your reactions. This type of conversation leads to better understanding of who you are, how you think, what you feel, and what matters most to you. https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/gottman-method-therapy-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648234158608-3OX71MI274SX57NZHN7M/unsplash-image-Z9bAQ3XbmCE.jpg Gottman Method | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The building. You can have healthy and loving relationships. In couples therapy, we’ll talk about how you can build friendship, intimacy, and understanding between you. In therapy, you’ll learn more about each other and find meaning as individuals and as partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1647984079947-NNQ0QOR8CMHO75AXMSKV/unsplash-image-YLkBly2HVHY.jpg Gottman Method | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The dysfunction. There may be some dysfunction in your relationship that leads to yelling matches or silent treatment. You want to communicate better with each other but it seems nearly impossible when you get upset and feel like the other isn’t listening or caring. Most of us don’t get taught how to be in a relationship - we just do our best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648162509088-OE37WVT72XKVKFF0JXNO/unsplash-image-O8i3pW1leYs.jpg Gottman Method | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - The process. We’ll start with Assessment where we gather information about both you & your partner. This is where we identify your strengths as a couple as well as your challenges. Then we go into Interventions. This is where you learn new ways of interacting with each other and practice them in session and at home. Until the new skills become your new ways of being with each other. https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/individual-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/couples-therapy-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/group-therapy-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-01-29 https://www.magentaskytherapy.com/person-addison-texas daily 0.75 2024-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1648410102246-Z9020W8GMQ5PB80QGBE2/unsplash-image-_9gxlIXdqDQ.jpg In Person Therapy | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - In Person Therapy Doing therapy in-person is fantastic in my Addison office. You can feel connected to me as a human being as we read each other’s full body language. Moreover, you get a safe space away from your usual work and home environment. You’ll have a space that is designated just for you. No distractions - all that matters in this 50 minutes is being heard and finding healing. Our office uses a sound machine to ensure confidentiality so you can feel comfortable sharing as much as you’d like without worrying about being overheard. In your therapy room, you’ll have access to fidgets, expressive arts materials, and buzzies for EMDR. You also get a break from your own office and home - bonus!

Can’t make it to my office in Addison? No problem! Therapy comes to you wherever you are in Texas - as I’m only licensed to practice in the lone star state. We’ll use Zoom via your client portal for a secure HIPAA compliant virtual therapy session. Please be in a private location where you feel comfortable enough to share what you’d like without the worry of being overheard. I’ve met with people using telehealth in their bedrooms, in their parked cars (vehicle must be stationary), in their workplace conference rooms, and even in their closets. As long as you’re alone in a safe place with strong steady internet connection, I’m ready for you! P.S. pets welcome to say hi on screen and it’s understandable if you need to check on your mini human during session too. Sometimes it be like that.

It’s mostly what I’ve done my whole therapy life (personal & professional). But that doesn’t mean it’s the only option. Sometimes, we need a break from the couch. The day is beautiful and we want to get some movement in. Let’s do it! Walking is a natural form of bilateral stimulation (relaxing movement that engages the left & right hemispheres of your brain). So basically it feels good to your mind & body. We can walk around the business park as we process your life stories as we would in the office. Hopefully soon, meeting at a local park will be an option as well since being in nature can be calming. Be aware that I cannot guarantee confidentiality while out in public and this activity is weather permitting.

If you’re struggling with post traumatic stress, you might notice yourself stuck in a stress response. When something overwhelming happens (little T = dog bit me; big T = neglect as a child), our brain goes into survival mode to protect us. We can go into fight mode and get angry and scream; flight mode and run away from conflict; or freeze mode and go on constant autopilot and feeling a bit numb. We need these responses but not 24/7. It’s exhausting for your brain to be on guard, not trust others, feel trapped, or feel like things will never get better. You might get triggered in the present with flashbacks and nightmares and be reminded of bad things from the past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616495c72a966952781c61df/1650576952987-35JQWJW6P4AYAKCJ445S/unsplash-image-BEl7F7qN61g.jpg Therapy for Trauma | Addison, TX | Magenta Sky Therapy - Can we do this instead? With therapeutic interventions specific to you, your circumstances, and your goals, we can identify those triggers, target them with EMDR, and finally leave the past behind. You deserve a life where you’re no longer bombarded by disturbing images, chilling thoughts, or unexplained emotions. Triggers can be treated. The bad dreams can cease. You can finally get through the trauma and into the healing you crave. Your mind and body are capable of relaxing.
