Welcome, my name is Erika Gobbi. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teenagers, college students and young adults, but I have worked with all ages. My primary areas of focus are self-harming, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, developing social skills, cultural differences, life transitions, bullying/social isolation, school anxiety, family conflict and peer pressure. I am committed to fostering a safe and understanding environment for healing and growth. A little bit more about myself- I was born in Venezuela and raised in Aruba. I am multilingual (Spanish, English, Papiamento, and Italian). I spend my free time with my two pups and husband traveling, fostering animals, and spending time outdoors. Currently, we have embarked on a journey to explore all 50 states. Using evidence-based practices as well as my years of experience, I am here to guide you or your loved one on their journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life. Hopefully you find me a good match and we can get started on the mental wellness journey together.
During a client's first therapy session, they can expect several key elements from initial paperwork to feedback and planning. The goal of the initial session is to gather background history, review assessments taken prior to the first session, create treatment goals, and most importantly build rapport. Overall, the first therapy session aims to create a foundation for the therapeutic relationship, clarify goals, and begin the process of exploration and support.
One of my greatest strengths as a mental health therapist is my ability to empathize deeply with my clients. I strive to understand their experiences, emotions, and perspectives without judgment, allowing me to build a strong therapeutic alliance. This empathy enables me to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, validated, and respected. It also enhances my ability to tailor interventions and approaches that are meaningful and effective for each individual's unique needs and challenges.

I've had therapy with Erika for several sessions now. I knew from the first session she was going to be a good fit for me. One of her talents I think is her ability to find some little nugget of an idea for you to try when you sit down and start talking about what is going on. I've walked away every session with something productive to work on. She genuinely cares and you can tell she pays attention. Having a great experience with her!

She’s very caring, and solution oriented. I’ve felt very heard since day one, and validated. She has great communication, and always goes the extra mile to help whenever needed. She takes the time to know and learn about you, and remembers the smallest details.
