Ericka Price, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ericka!

I want to help you improve your life, relationships, and sense of self. I partner with clients in a non-judgmental and authentic setting to facilitate the changes you desire.

My focus

I provide a safe place for you to address anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, work-related issues, relationship conflict, family issues, or simply navigating life's difficulties. I have considerable background working with the African American community, other communities of color, and the LGBTQ and non-binary communities.

My approach

I utilize a collaborative, strength-based approach that is client-centered, solution-focused, and culturally relevant. In session, I promote a nonjudgmental atmosphere that is warm, accepting, inclusive, and practical with a high value on careful listening and empathy.

My communication style

I focus on active listening, empathy, and the ability to provide feedback. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am honest and transparent about the process and integrate physical, mental, and emotional well-being to address the whole person.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was inspired to pursue psychology after learning about mental illness and treatment approaches. I furthered my education with a focus on African American Family Studies, where I learned about the lack of providers equipped to respond to the unique needs of ethnic minorities.

My goals for you

Together, we can tailor the sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs to develop a mindful approach to healing. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

Our first session

Our first session will be different from a regular therapy session. I will ask questions to understand what's been going on, and you can ask me questions too. After I ask my questions, I'll share my thoughts and observations, so you always know what I'm thinking. Then I'll share my initial plan for helping you feel better.
