What is important when looking for a therapist? Fees, location and availability are all important, but finding a therapist that you can trust with the different parts of yourself is important, too. There is no shame in taking time to find the therapist that is right for you-the therapist that you can be emotionally safe with. I tend to work with people who suffer from trauma responses that have impacted their quality of life.

Let's face it. Men HATE talking about their feelings. Really hate it. They would rather have a root canal. Women spend their whole lives sharing their thoughts and feelings, but that is not true for men. Just the opposite. I understand what a challenge it is for your husband or boyfriend to open up and express their feelings. I help guys like me talk about their feelings to increase emotional intimacy, decrease conflict and improve their relationships with their girlfriends or wives. My mission is to HELP COUPLES HEAL.

My name is Erica Velasco. I am a bilingual Latinx Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who is passionate about creating a space for healing hearts and bodies, through authentic connection. When I'm not working, you will find me in my garden, hanging out at a coffee shop, going on adventures with my family and friends, or working on DIY projects in my home.

My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma informed, holistic, and culturally humble practices.

We’re all a little flawed, and that’s okay: there’s beauty and depth in imperfection. To misquote Leonard Cohen, the cracks are how the light gets in. Problems arise, however, when we become unduly burdened by these experiences. Our responses to suffering, and the ways we try to protect ourselves from pain, can leave us feeling stifled and trapped. Therapy can help us chip away at these accumulated layers, and begin to articulate new, more comfortable ways of being in the world.
