My name is Melissa Erb, PsyD Candidate, LCSW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California, and a current Clinical Psychology doctoral candidate specializing in neuropsychology. I provide therapy to clients statewide through telehealth, working with adults and adolescents who are managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using Mindfulness Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps me meet clients where they are at, creating an approach that allows you to begin at a pace that feels comfortable.
My approach is not one-size-fits-all; we'll work together to navigate a path for your progress. I most frequently use Mindfulness Therapy, which focuses on learning how to be more aware of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and surroundings, and to reduce automatic responses.I meet clients where they are at and honor you as the expert of your story.
My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. I believe that healing begins when clients feel truly seen and understood, so I work to create a space that is warm, nonjudgmental, and empowering.Together, we move at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable, creating a safe and collaborative space for growth.
