You're feeling hurt and angry again and thinking, 'Why do we fight about the same things over and over again? I am so tired of arguing! What happened to the way we used to be?' I know you're feeling alone and frustrated. Couples tell me how lonely and confused they feel. You and your partner can be happy again, you can learn to turn towards eachother, reconnect emotionally and create a more caring and fulfilling relationship. For more than 20 years I've worked with couples and families helping them find a better way to live and love and work together.

Hi! I'm Erica Garay. I didn't choose the therapist life; rather, it chose me. My journey toward becoming an LCSW is deeply rooted in my experiences growing up in an immigrant household. From a young age, I naturally assumed the helping role, inspired by the cultural nuances and challenges faced in my own family. Through the challenging terrain of my own experiences, the support I received from compassionate helping professionals during my formative years illuminated my potential and fueled my desire to pay it forward. I wish to share the light I found with those currently facing the darkness of their own mental health challenges.

Throughout the years, I have found fulfillment and been able to form strong connections with adolescents and adults who are struggling with adjusting to current life stressors. As a first generation Latina, I understand how important it is to feel understood and how difficult it is to manage cultural norms that might be impacting our ability to reach our own healing. Wether it is previous or current trauma, anxiety, depression, life changes, grief, or family conflict, I believe that inviting me as a companion to walk alongside you to help make sense of your journey can lead you to find peace in the path you are on.

As an LMFT, my therapeutic approach is one that can help you understand how individual problems can, at times, be connected to past and current social experiences. I have found success working with individuals interested in diving deeper into their thought patterns and exploring how their early life experiences play a role in the development of their current self. We would work well together if you are interested in addressing relationship difficulties, trauma, issues maintaining relational boundaries, generational and cultural pressures, perfectionism, anxiety, stress, and depression.
