Getting to know Erika Venegas

My name is Erika Venegas. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Psychology from Phillips Graduate University, offering mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults. My passion is to assist individuals in achieving their therapy goals and ultimately leading a happier and healthier life. My approach Every client’s needs are different; therefore, my approach varies for each person, as the path to recovery is unique. I provide different approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and more. I believe each person can find the coping strategies and techniques needed to overcome the many challenges they face in life. My focus My experience includes treatment for depression, anxiety, anger management, child and adolescent issues, behavioral challenges, trauma, parenting concerns, and more. I have worked with children, adults, and families in settings ranging from school-based programs to community mental health clinics. My communication style I aim to create an environment in sessions where clients feel heard, supported, comfortable, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy and compassion, without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare When I was 14, my father passed away from cancer, and at 17, my older brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Throughout my life, I struggled with anger, resentment, depression, and anxiety. However, I eventually realized I needed to heal and find a way forward, which led me to seek therapy. The therapist who assisted in my healing also inspired my desire to help others. My goals for you I work with individuals to identify their needs and collaboratively create goals based on those needs. I seek to move at the client’s pace while working toward their treatment goals throughout therapy. My goal is to support and empower clients as we work together to achieve positive change.
