Great to meet you!

My name is Erick Nunez, and I am a man of Puerto Rican and Black descent. I graduated from Columbia University School of Social Work. Throughout my career, I've advocated for my community (those who have been marginalized and oppressed) and I'm honored to provide a safe and creative therapeutic space for my clients to express themselves openly and freely with no judgment. My goal is to make therapy comfortable for people of color.

My approach to therapy

From a client-centered, trauma-informed, and solution-focused approach (just to name a few of my styles) I have helped clients with restructuring negative thought patterns with a deeper understanding of their origins, exploring the intersection of their identity, and most importantly, rediscovering their authentic selves. My style of therapy is to be real and use one's strengths to make changes.

What you can expect from me

Change can be scary but so is staying the same. There is a quote that I live by "Whatever you are not changing ... you are choosing". Allow me to be part of your journey so that you feel supported while making the necessary changes.
