Have you been feeling down, unmotivated, stuck, misunderstood, or wanting to isolate/escape? I started with treating anxiety and depression and soon realized that these issues can sometimes be the surface of our problems. Is not unusual, oftentimes, for trauma, OCD, ADHD, or Autism to be the culprits for the root of problems. Helping you gain better understanding of how to manage mental health struggles in these areas, learn tools that will help you feel better, and maintain a balanced life are few of the goals I focus in treatment.

My name is Erica Villar, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in San Diego, California. I provide therapeutic services via Telehealth to adults within the state of California. I incorporate the use of different therapeutic approaches to support individuals in developing new skills to overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, mood disorders, psychosis, and trauma. I work with clients who identify with various cultures and backgrounds.

My therapeutic style is eclectic, meaning I can pull from a variety of modalities for identifying and treating trauma and its effects, on both the individual, and the family unit. Building rapport is essential because we tend to do our best when we are having fun. I utilize a personal and individual approach to therapy focusing on determining “cause” behind each client’s distress. I also provide group counseling for Anger Management, Domestic Violence and victims, Parenting, Anxiety, Depression, and a group specifically for Church Pastors affected by secondary trauma.

If you are struggling with any difficult personal or relational issues, I would love to help. My goal as a Therapist is to connect with my clients on a personal level to provide emotional support, partnered with useful feedback, and walk along side them through their life journey to achieve change and overcome the change they wish to see. I am honored when allowed to be part of each and every healing process. With empathy and understanding I work toward healing, change, and growth with each client in hopes that they can reach a sense of gratification in their life.

I believe that the greatest form of self care is taking steps towards building self awareness through self inquiry and self acceptance. Self awareness allows us to build an integrated relationship with ourselves by taking into account body, mind, and spirit. As we integrate all parts of our being and cultivate a healthier relationship with ourselves we become empowered. As a result, we begin to cultivate healthy relationships with others and in all areas of our lives (finances, career, health, life purpose, and spirituality). My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you on your therapeutic journey.

GRIEF is a journey in life that no one plans, no one wants to go through, but everyone at some point will have to face. When not addressed or processed, grief can leave a person feeling alone, angry, depressed and stuck. Grief can come from death, divorce, a move, loss of a relationship and many other events. Are you grieving and have never been able to talk about it? Are you experiencing intense pain, a subtle sadness that doesn't go away, conflict in your relationships, anger for no reason? Untreated grief can impact every aspect of our lives. I am here to help!

Current availability: Wednesday at 3pm. Friday 12pm, 1pm, and 3pm.

We are each on our own path, and it is through our relationships and experiences with self, others, and the world around us that we begin to grow and heal. Life can hold us back from engaging in the growth and change we want to see. Whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, whether it be generational trauma, issues with attachment, struggling with depression, your spirituality, or any other distressing experience, I will walk the path with you, as I believe healing is a journey in which you do not have to walk alone.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel their best. Sometimes you need help along the journey, which is where I come in. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship of trust in order to walk alongside the healing journey with you. I have experience with adults dealing with major life transitions, grief/loss, substance use, depression, and anxiety.

Taking the first step to seek professional help can be difficult and daunting but that first step is all you need to start your healing journey.

Through a client centered and collaborative approach, I will work with you to accomplish your goals, gain insight, and help you become the best version of yourself.

Stress/anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship issues, and generally feeling lost are all common issues amongst the generations today. Living and operating within this country can be challenging, leaving you without certainty or the support to ensure all of your basic needs. It is no secret that the lockdowns took a toll on us all but help is available. We all need a place to vent/process our difficult thoughts/feelings, learn coping skills, manage anger, and improve our communication skills.
