Erica Garay

Hey there! I'm Erica Garay, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker on a mission to help you discover the exceptional human you truly are. I'm not your average therapist—think of me as your personal cheerleader, navigator through the ups and downs of life, and a staunch believer in your potential for growth. Armed with a heart full of empathy and a toolkit of evidence-based strategies, I'm here to make the journey to self-love, joy, and fulfillment a whole lot more exciting.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to fostering a supportive space for personal growth. My approach blends evidence-based modalities with a person-centered and strengths-based perspective. This journey is yours; I tailor my approach to your specific needs in order to honor what's most important to you.

My focus

As a therapist, my primary focus is on supporting adult clients dealing with various challenges, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, cultural challenges, and navigating life transitions. I am dedicated to providing a compassionate and tailored approach to help individuals overcome these obstacles and enhance their overall well-being.

My communication style

I cultivate a compassionate and supportive therapeutic environment for my clients, embracing a warm, open, engaging, and respectful style. I firmly believe in therapy as a collaborative process, where my role is to empower clients to become their best selves. While challenges may arise, creating a safe space for processing is among my top priorities.

My first session with you

In our initial session, my priority is to cultivate a strong therapeutic relationship by building rapport. We will delve into your personal history, exploring important aspects that shape your experiences. Together, we'll collaboratively establish therapy goals and ensure that our connection is a good fit to create a supportive and effective therapeutic journey for you.
