Erika Fadahunsi Lizardo

My communication style

I create a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Working with me feels like having a supportive guide who genuinely cares about your well-being. I balance empathy with a solution-focused approach, empowering you to navigate challenges while feeling encouraged and capable.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal and rooted in a desire to bring hope and healing to others. Witnessing how unresolved trauma and mental health struggles impacted those around me shaped my passion for helping others break cycles of pain and find their inner strength.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively and intentionally, ensuring goals are personalized, meaningful, and achievable. We explore your values, challenges, and aspirations to co-create goals that align with your vision for growth. I emphasize breaking goals into manageable steps and celebrating progress to build confidence and momentum.

Our first session

You can expect a welcoming, supportive, judgment-free environment where you can share your story at your own pace. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your history, and current challenges. I'll explain how the therapeutic process works and address any questions. Together, we'll begin outlining goals and identify first steps toward growth.

• Female
