Erica Fernandez, CA LCSW 120163

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience providing mental health services, psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and psychosocial support to individuals and families across diverse settings. My professional background includes outpatient therapy, child welfare, foster care, healthcare, hospice, and community-based services. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, and other emotional and psychosocial challenges.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, psychosocial assessment, and individualized treatment planning. My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strengths-Based interventions. I believe in creating a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences, recognize their strengths, and develop meaningful tools for positive change.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I value cultural awareness and strive to provide compassionate, individualized care that recognizes each person's unique experiences, background, and needs. My goal is to meet clients where they are, help them navigate life's challenges, and support them in building resilience, emotional well-being, and healthier relationships.
