Erika Gallardo-Diaz

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 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 primary goal during our first session is to create a welcoming and safe space where you can openly share the issues that brought you to therapy. I want to get to know you and explore the current challenges you are experiencing, including specific symptoms and how they are impacting your life. I will also explore any relevant history. After gathering this information, we can move forward in creating the goals you wish to achieve in therapy.
