“I came in dealing with anxiety and persistent imposter syndrome, and Eric made a real difference. He‚Äôs warm and easy to open up to, but also asks direct questions that push you to actually examine what‚Äôs going on instead of talking around it. Sessions felt structured but never rigid ‚Äî he followed where I needed to go while keeping the bigger picture in mind. I‚Äôve noticed a real shift in how I handle self-doubt and anxious moments. Highly recommend.”

Getting to know Eric Ochoa
Hi there, I'm Eric!
My name is Eric Ochoa, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I specialize in helping couples navigate conflict in their relationships and support individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and substance abuse challenges. I use a client-centered approach that involves collaboratively developing goals and treatment plans to create the most effective path possible for overcoming your challenges and truly thriving.
My approach
I utilize a client-centered method focused on collaboration to develop goals and treatment plans tailored to your needs. The primary theoretical approaches I use include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.
My focus
While I am comfortable working with a wide variety of clients, I prefer working with teens and older individuals. I work best with couples and individuals experiencing anxiety and/or depression. Additionally, I have extensive experience and skills supporting clients addressing substance use disorders (SUD).
My communication style
Clients often describe me as empathetic, insightful, calming, warm, patient, and curious during sessions.
My journey to therapy
I have felt drawn to therapy my whole life. I've always been intensely fascinated by how and why people behave the way they do and how their emotional experiences shape them. Since middle school, I have found myself naturally drawn to listening to and helping others.
My goals for you
Above all, I believe in collaboration when setting goals.
My first session with you
You can expect acceptance, congruence, empathy, and a healthy amount of curiosity as we begin our work together.

He’s warm and easy to open up to, but also asks direct questions that push you to actually examine what’s going on instead of talking around it. Sessions felt structured but never rigid — he followed where I needed to go while keeping the bigger picture in mind. I’ve noticed a real shift in how I handle self-doubt and anxious moments.
