Getting to know Erick Magana

I became a therapist because I believe every person has untapped strength and potential to overcome challenges. When life feels overwhelming, our sessions will be a space where you’re heard, understood, and never judged. We’ll figure out what’s getting in your way, talk through the tough stuff, and work on real tools that help you moving forward. My approach I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because I believe that when we change how we think, we change how we live. By working together to identify and reshape automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions, you can gain greater clarity and control over your emotions and reactions. I also incorporate other therapeutic approaches to best support your My focus Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just trying to make sense of life’s challenges, I understand that change can feel daunting—and that’s where I come in. Together, we’ll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe those thoughts and build healthier mental habits. I’m here to support you every step of the way. My communication style I want you to feel completely comfortable and safe right from the start. As an easy-going and personable therapist, my goal is to make our time together feel more like a supportive, guided conversation rather than a formal, clinical appointment. You can bring your entire self, the good, the bad, and the messy, without fear of criticism. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began after military service when I faced mental health struggles. My own therapy taught me powerful coping skills and the value of clear communication for better relationships. I treat therapy as a genuine partnership. Helping others improve their mental health and symptoms brings me joy and is why I’m here.
