Getting to know Erika Gallardo Diaz
Hi there, I'm Erika!
I commend you for making the decision to begin therapy and appreciate your consideration to allow me to be the one to walk beside you and support you on your healing journey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion and commitment to provide compassionate, non-judgmental, and client centered therapy. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life and have helped them navigate the complexities of their emotional and mental health challenges and improve their overall life satisfaction and well-being. I look forward to doing the same with you.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is a strength-based client-centered approach. I work collaboratively with you to help set and achieve your goals. I primarily use Trauma Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques to support you and assist you with managing any challenges you may be facing. I also believe in empowering you to tap into your inner strengths and use the tools that are already within you to help improve your life.
My focus
I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, loss and grief, substance use, self-esteem, and body image issues. I also have experience working with survivors of trauma including childhood trauma, sexual abuse trauma, intergenerational trauma, and domestic violence.
My communication style
My goal is to build a trusting relationship with you where you feel heard and understood. I aim to accomplish this by engaging with you authentically and communicating in a calm, understanding, and non-judgmental manner.
My journey to mental healthcare
One of the values I hold close to my heart is that of helping people. I knew early on in my life that I wanted to enter a field dedicated to making a positive impact on people’s lives. I pursued this goal by earning a Master’s in Social Work Degree at UCLA.
