Ericka Grinna, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ericka!

I use a variety of approaches to working with clients.

My focus

I typically work with individual, adult clients. Specialties include stress management, life transitions, coping skills, substance abuse, boundary work, trauma, and women's treatment. I am also experienced in working with medication-assisted treatment for substance abuse issues.

My approach

In my practice, I utilize mindfulness-based treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, humanistic, and insight-oriented methods in providing therapeutic services.

My communication style

I try to create a welcoming environment for clients and have a calm and accepting communication style.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative and based on what is causing distress for the client or what they want to work on. I may make suggestions depending on what issues are being addressed and check to see if this feels like a fit for the client.

Our first session

During a first session, clients can expect to discuss why they are seeking therapy at this time and take a history of how this has been affecting them recently and in the past. I also use the first session to work on building rapport with the client and determining if working together will be a good fit.
