Hi, I’m Erika Carreon. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist, trained at Northwestern, and I work with individuals (16+), couples, and families. As an Asian immigrant, I integrate personal insight with professional dedication so that clients feel truly heard in a safe and supportive relationship. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of trauma’s impact, which allows me to bring compassion, sensitivity, and respect into the therapeutic space. I believe healing is possible—and that relationships, when nurtured, can be a powerful source of joy, connection, and growth. Many of us sense that our relationships with ourselves and with
others are central to a meaningful life. And yet, even with our best intentions, we can sometimes find ourselves stuck in painful, familiar patterns. My role is to partner with you to explore new paths toward fulfillment, connection, and happiness. If you're seeking a deeper understanding of yourself—your story, your cultural and and relational context
—and you want to feel more grounded and empowered, I’d be honored to support you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.
I use an integrative model, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as EFT, IFS, CBT, and DBT, and tailor my work to meet your unique needs.
