Getting to know Erica Christensen

Hi there, I'm Erica! My name is Erica Christensen, and I am an LMFT (#141653). I specialize in therapy for young adults, adults, LGBTQIA+ clients, and women’s issues. I offer a person-centered approach that fosters a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship. With a focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, and clients on the borderline spectrum, I aim to create a safe space where clients feel understood and empowered to explore their experiences. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, which has deeply informed my humanistic and integrative approach to therapy. My approach My therapeutic modalities include direct and challenging techniques rooted in humanistic principles, tailored to each individual’s needs. Even when addressing traumatic experiences, I strive to maintain a light and hopeful atmosphere throughout sessions. If you’re ready to embark on a transformative journey toward healing and growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way. My focus I work with clients on the borderline spectrum, clients with ADHD, neurodivergent clients, Queer and LGBTQIA+ clients, and those wanting to heal past trauma. My communication style My communication style includes direct and challenging techniques rooted in humanistic principles, tailored to each individual’s needs. Clients who work with me feel connected, understood, able to be themselves, and open to allowing change. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began while working in restaurants and the service industry. I have always loved people and being there for others emotionally was important to me. This passion led me to pursue mental health, and I am grateful for that experience. I hope to continue helping clients in any small way—even if it seems insignificant—because my goal is to be a supportive teammate in my clients’ journeys toward the lives they hope for.
