Erica Gonzalez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Erica!

I am a bilingual therapist working with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and behavioral issues, using various treatment skills to help clients meet their goals toward a more fulfilling life.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families processing trauma, improving parent-child relationships, reducing anxiety, addressing depression, and increasing self-esteem and self-compassion to help clients reach their goals and improve their quality of life.

My approach

My approach varies based on each individual's needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, and Family Systems to help clients gain clarity on navigating their challenges in a safe, supportive environment as they begin their healing journey.

My communication style

I provide a warm, caring, empathic environment where clients feel safe and comfortable disclosing their personal thoughts and struggles without judgment. You'll feel understood and supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I truly enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves. It's a privilege to be part of each client's healing journey.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting begins with listening carefully to your needs and desired outcomes. We work together to create a path that honors what matters most to you.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions to better understand your needs as you begin your healing journey. This session is about building our initial connection and helping me understand where we should go from here.
