Getting to know Erika Banuelos

Hi there, I'm Erika! Hello, I'm Erika Banuelos, a licensed clinical therapist with a Master of Social Work degree from California State University, Dominguez Hills. As a bilingual therapist fluent in both Spanish and English, I specialize in helping individuals from diverse backgrounds overcome emotional and psychological challenges. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, adjusting to change and life transitions, grief, crisis intervention, and working with autistic children. My approach As an LCSW, my therapeutic approach is client-centered and grounded in evidence-based practices. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect, tailoring my approach to the unique needs of each individual. I believe everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and happy life, and I am passionate about helping people overcome emotional and psychological challenges. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Solution Focus Therapy, Grounding Techniques, Play Therapy, Mediation, and Behavioral Therapy. These evidence-based practices have been shown to be effective in addressing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, and crisis intervention. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive, creating a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. Being bilingual in Spanish and English allows me to provide therapy to a wider range of individuals from different cultural backgrounds.
