Eric Rowan, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Eric!

Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward healing. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

My focus

I work with adults and older adults managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking meaning in life. Whether you're working through fear, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, I'll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use person-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your needs, I may adapt my approach to include mindfulness.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a deep curiosity about the human mind and a desire to help others find strength through life's hardest challenges. Working with survivors of trauma and those recovering from addictions showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
