• Gerardo Esqueda, LPC

    With over a decade of experience in education and counseling, I bring dedication and compassion to my practice. After six years as a teacher and five as a school counselor, I earned my master’s degree from Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). In 2022, I founded Rekindle Hope Counseling to offer personalized, empathetic support in a safe, welcoming space. Outside of work, I cherish my family—my wife since 2010 and our two children—who inspire my commitment to helping others find balance and fulfillment.
