At Stand Firm Health and Wellness we combine the Christian faith with the principles of psychology to improve mental health and quality of life. We use scripture, biblical teachings, prayer, and evidence based mental health practices to help you deal with life’s challenges, including but not limited to stress, emotional distress, adjustment issues, trauma, church hurt, abuse, grief, identity confusion, and addictions.

With 8+ years experience in the field, I specialize in children & families, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, ADHD, as well as addiction. I utilize an empathetic, humanistic approach with evidenced-based interventions. I can describe my approach to therapy as one that is collaborative, eclectic, and individualized to the needs of my patients. I believe that the therapeutic alliance accounts for a large percentage of positive clinical outcomes, and building a safe as well as trusting relationship with my patients is a primary aim of my work.

I have immediate openings available. During the past 25 years I have worked in a variety of treatment settings with children, adolescents and adults. I currently work at a municipal community mental health center providing short-term and long-term care to all ages for a myriad of presenting issues. Issues ranging from adjustment disorder to mood and anxiety disorders. I have worked at this agency for the past 16 years and prior to that I worked with adults and children as a social worker in hospitals, day treatment centers and schools. Given my work experience I am able provide treatment for a wide range of issues. Please reach out.

Life is hard, plain and simple! Life is even more difficult when you face those challenges alone. My goal is to provide a safe environment for you to explore past concerns, current challenges, and future directions. Together, we will work on helping you realize that you have the resiliency and ability to overcome negative thoughts, problematic behavioral patterns, and emotional blocks.

So you've had enough. You've had enough of people acting like you don't have a life of your own, your issues to worry about, your stress- because they expect you to solve their problems. When you've been drowning in work and stress, they give you a high five instead of a life vest. You're not looking for anyone to save you; you want a break, some appreciation, and maybe even some peace. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Life is a journey. There are times when it's easy and good, and times when it's harder than you want it to be. If you're at one of the lower moments in your life, it can sometimes help if you reach out to someone who is understanding, a good listener and who has many years experience helping people problem-solve their way back to a place where life feels more manageable. If you are feeling more sad than happy, more anxious than calm, then maybe you should call me. We'll chat a little and see if we think we'd make a good therapeutic team.

When you think of a "therapist", what pops into your mind? The image of the quintessential therapist may be a little antiquated for the 21st century and you may not be sure if that person will be able to understand where you're coming from. With me, therapy is compassionate, authentic, and realistic. I have faith that you are strong enough to explore into those neglected parts of you and allow them to be seen and held. As a relational and systemic therapist, we will work as a team to understand your place in the world and write a life story that taps into your power and potential.

Hello potential teammates! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Erica Guzman, my background includes working with individuals who have struggled with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. This includes experience working with those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mood disorders. If you feel you have been experiencing stress related to your mental health and well being, I'd love to chat with you about what your experiencing to better help you conquer your health!

I specialize in working with adults and couples who are struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, stress, and grief. I work from a person-centered, strengths-based approach, implementing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, Internal-Family Systems, and mindfulness into my work with clients. I believe that by identifying and challenging our faulty assumptions and patterns of negative thinking, we can begin to view the world more positively and improve our relationships with others.

I will not pretend to have the answers to your problems, but by taking a team approach we can get you to a place where you can achieve the results you are looking for. I love working with pre-teens, adolescents and young adults that suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and just feel lost in the everyday mandate day to day of life. Women that feel that they have no voice in society. People who feel disconnected from their family of origin and would like to reconnect, parents that want a closer bond with their children.

I provide affirming and trauma-informed care which conceptualizes individual mental health within a sociopolitical and cultural context. This is particularly important to understanding the experiences of individuals within invalidating and discriminatory environments. I know the impacts of minority-based stress and trauma cannot be addressed merely through changing your thinking. My aim is to help you develop coping skills, insight, and resiliency to thrive in our challenging world. Additionally, as a queer therapist, I aspire to offer a safe space for LGBTQIA+ identity exploration. I specialize in PTSD and gender dysphoria.

Are you feeling stressed, sad or overwhelmed? Have life's difficulties led you to withdraw from activities you previously enjoyed? Are you experiencing a challenging life transition? We all experience difficult personal times when we need to reach out for additional support. As your therapist, we will develop practical strategies, identify your strengths, and work together to begin moving you towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
