Hola/Hello, my name is Erica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), fluent in English and Spanish.
You are the expert in your own life, and it is my goal to meet every client where they are within their therapeutic healing process. I look forward to helping and guiding you in developing new confidence, behaviors, and skills as we work on achieving your goals. I have more availability, please feel free to message me if you do not see a time/day that works for you
First session
From the first session on, we will work at a pace you are comfortable with to unpack the barriers in your way, while simultaneously taking action towards the future. One step at a time.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is my insight and individualization of my patients experiences and needs. My approach to care is to create a safe and comfortable environment for all of my clients and I believe individuals can excel when addressing their symptoms from a systematic, family and individual approach.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is eager to improve, but who does not yet have the tools needed to make a change, that is where I come into play.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can influence a person's quality of life, and that psychological problems can be caused by unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. The tenet is that this focus sets up a positive mindset that helps you build on your best qualities, find your strengths, improve resilience, and change your worldview to one that is more positive.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma-focused therapy (TF) helps people process traumatic experiences. It can help people understand how trauma impacts their mental, emotional, physical, behavioral, and spiritual well-being. TF therapy can also help people develop healthy coping skills, decrease traumatic stress symptoms, and regain control over past experiences.
Couples Counseling
The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
