Getting to know Erika Gamez

Hello, I'm Erika. I hold a master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a B.A. from Park University in Parkville, Missouri. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Arizona and previously licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in Florida, I am dedicated to helping others improve their lives through education, insight, and change. With over 15 years of experience working with families, children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients, I have assisted clients in learning new ways of coping with life changes, negative past traumatic experiences, and dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, grief, and phase-of-life problems and situations. My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered, utilizing various theoretical interventions to guide and treat each client uniquely. My varied work experiences include serving the community as a Child Protective Investigator with the Department of Children and Families, a Juvenile Probation Officer with the Department of Juvenile Justice, and a Discharge Planner/Mental Health Tech, and Utilization Review Specialist within a Psychiatric Crisis Stabilization Unit. I have provided outpatient, inpatient, IOP, PHP, individual, couples, family, and group therapy at both mental health community centers and addiction residential treatment facilities. Additionally, I have participated in both Drug Court and Mental Health Court practicing forensic psychology. I completed my practicum hours with Ocean Addiction and Recovery Services in Vero Beach, Florida, and Changing Tree Wellness Center in Okeechobee, Florida. These experiences have contributed to my knowledge and skills in serving dually diagnosed clients. Since 2016, I have been involved in implementing a coaching program to assist children and adolescents in identifying and implementing strategies to improve executive functioning deficits. As a therapist, I believe in using integrated theoretical approaches to best help my clients. My educational, professional, and life experiences, along with continued education, enable me to treat both mental health and substance abuse issues effectively. I strive to help families problem-solve, overcome personal issues, and work toward positive home and community experiences. I am also bilingual and can provide care in Spanish. If you are looking for support and guidance, I am here to help you navigate your journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. Let's work together to achieve your goals.
