Erica Cuyong, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Erica!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with teenagers and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. My goal is to help clients build greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and confidence.

My focus

I help clients gain new perspectives, increase insight, and develop healthier ways of responding to challenges. Together, we work toward improving emotional well-being, strengthening relationships, building self-esteem, and creating meaningful change.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s individual needs. I incorporate mindfulness, person-centered therapy, solution-focused techniques, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical coping strategies for everyday life.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and approachable. I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and comfortable being themselves without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for therapy comes from a genuine desire to support others through difficult moments and help them feel less alone in their experiences. I value creating authentic connections and providing a space where clients can feel supported while navigating personal growth and change.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to identify realistic and achievable goals while breaking larger challenges into manageable steps. By focusing on practical tools, consistency, and small successes, clients can build confidence and create lasting progress over time.

Our first session

During the first session, my focus is on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing openly. I actively listen, answer any questions you may have about therapy, and work collaboratively with you to begin identifying goals and areas of support.
