Hi there, I'm Rick!

Rick Erlien, LMFT. PRACTICAL HELP RESULTS ORIENTED. Would you like a happier life? I can help you to understand what is going wrong, your strengths, and how to find solutions.

My approach

I utilize a Solution Focused approach along with Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as in addition if you like... Music Therapy Healing (you do not have to be a musician). I can help you stop repeating old patterns, and make changes for the better, know what to do about it, and feel like you are in control. I use an integrative approach as I described above as well. Music Therapy Healing is an option and it helps if you are feeling down or anxious/stressed to feel better quickly.

My focus

I can help you if you are feeling down/depressed or anxious/stressed, what to do about it to feel better and have a happy successful life. I also address other issues you may be experiencing and am happy to listen and make you feel heard.

My communication style

I set a positive, optimistic tone with clients. Clients can feel positive, empowered, and able to be authentically who they are.

My journey to mental healthcare

I truly enjoy helping people and want to be able to assist them the best I can. I believe all people have a genuine positive aspect to them. They only need to act on it and believe in the positive part of themselves.

My goals for you

I will help you to identify what is the problem and how to develop solutions and goals to go about fixing issues to feel better.

My first session with you

Clients can expect to feel heard and to have a sense of optimism regarding what the problem is and how to go about fixing it.
