Transforming Brokenness into Gold
Your Scars Are Not a Secret to Hide. They Are a Story to Tell.
The Kintsugi Philosophy
At For Such A Time As This Counseling, LLC, we believe that human suffering is not a defect—it is a season. Guided by the wisdom of Kintsugi and backed by 19 years of clinical expertise, Esther Saggurthi, LCPC, helps you transform your brokenness into a source of unparalleled strength and beauty.
Our Inspiration
In the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi, when a piece of pottery breaks, it is not discarded. Instead, the shards are meticulously gathered and rejoined with a lacquer mixed with powdered gold. The result is a vessel that is stronger, more resilient, and more valuable than the original.
Our Practice
In our practice, we apply this same reverence to the human soul. Life can be shattering. Trauma, anxiety, and loss can leave us feeling like a collection of fragments. But here, we do not aim to simply "fix" you or return you to a "pre-broken" state. We work to find the "gold"—the insight, the resilience, and the self-knowledge—that makes your future self a masterpiece of survival and grace.
Our Results
We believe that every individual faces a pivotal moment—a crossroads where their past pain meets their future purpose. Whether you are navigating a personal crisis, a relationship transition, or a mental health challenge, you have arrived at this moment for a reason. We provide the clinical tools and the creative space to ensure you emerge from this time stronger than ever before.
Meet Esther Saggurthi, M.A., LCPC
Benjamin Franklin once noted, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.” After nearly two decades in the mental health field, I have learned that the hardest work a human being can do is the work of self-reflection. My mission as a psychotherapist is to provide the light and the mirror necessary for that discovery. I do not see myself as a "fixer," but as a clinical partner who holds a safe, non-judgmental space for you to examine the patterns of your life.
