Getting to know Erika Marquez

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and founder of Curate Mental. I specialize in trauma-focused, EMDR-driven therapy to help individuals heal and better manage PTSD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and cultural family conflict. My approach integrates mind-body healing, combining EMDR, CBT, and DBT techniques to support you in processing the past and creating a more fulfilling future. I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Fullerton, which laid the foundation for my trauma-informed, client-centered practice. Healing isn’t just about moving on—it’s about moving through. My therapy integrates mind and body to help you process and heal. I combine humanistic therapy with CBT and DBT techniques, ensuring a tailored approach that meets your unique needs. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and cultural family conflict. Many clients feel stuck in past experiences, unsure how to move forward. Whether you’re carrying childhood wounds, generational trauma, or overwhelming emotions, therapy can help you break free from old patterns and build a more fulfilling life. Therapy with me feels safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I create a space where you can show up as you are—no need to filter your thoughts or feelings. Together, we’ll work at your pace, exploring what’s holding you back and finding ways to help you heal. I bring warmth, insight, and gentle humor to our sessions because healing is serious work, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. Growing up, I saw how mental health was often dismissed or misunderstood in my community. There was conflict, but no resolution. People carried pain they never learned to process. I became a therapist to change that narrative—because healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
