Erika Ciriano Chavez

My communication style

I cultivate a communication style that is calm, optimistic, and accommodating. I strive to provide a comfortable and open space, free of judgment, where clients can freely express themselves. I believe in giving clients the time and space they need to discuss what's important to them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I discovered joy in making my friends smile and helping others feel better. My passion for helping others continued to strengthen throughout my career, where I worked with people facing various hardships. Seeing people experience positive change brings me satisfaction.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively, working with clients to grasp their priorities, identify their needs from therapy, and understand their expectations. This process involves building trust and ensuring a non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing their goals.
