Ericka Bettge, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ericka!

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome their fears, realize their dreams, and become their most confident selves. I would describe myself as authentic, compassionate, and colorful, and I am here to help you create a safe space to move from where you are today to where you want to be.

My focus

I love working with clients of all types. The primary conditions I treat are anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship issues. Whatever you are going through, I am here to listen, support, and encourage you in the process.

My approach

I am here to help you create your most beautiful life with training in both therapy and life coaching. I utilize CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychology to address and uproot problematic parts of your story, help you heal, and empower you to rewrite a new story for yourself.

My communication style

I create a warm, inviting, and safe space so clients feel comfortable opening up and receiving support. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, so I include clients in creating treatment plans and goals. I am here to listen and guide, but not to give advice or direction.

My journey to mental healthcare

What attracted me to being a therapist was that I love helping people. I love the moment when someone is able to have a breakthrough and start to move towards the life that they want to be living.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative process with the client, as I believe they are an expert on themselves. I think it is important for them to be invested in identifying what their treatment goals are.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We'll explore your goals and begin creating a treatment plan together. This is a safe space for you to share openly, and we'll work collaboratively to identify the support you're looking for and the direction you want to take.
