Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 91335

Welcome, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist providing individual therapy to people seeking support. I have been working in mental health for over 20 years as a Therapist, Clinical Supervisor and Program Director with community non-profits serving underserved and Latino communities. Currently I am focusing on providing a safe space to those finding themselves with anxiety, depression and/or trauma.

I am a licensed therapist who is a compassionate and motivated individual with excellent listening skills, capable of quickly building rapport with clients. With over 12 years of experience, I have worked extensively with clients dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have extensive experience with neurodivergent clients, such as those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Some clients are comfortable just being heard by their therapist, and others might seek a transformative process utilizing unique tools from specific modalities.

I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist who is passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are navigating their sexuality and/or gender expression. I work with both teens and adults who need help managing anxiety and depression, accommodating neurodiversity, unpacking trauma, and dealing with relationship and identity issues. I also provide letters for people seeking gender-affirming medical care. I strive to create a trusting relationship with each of my clients so we can safely explore obstacles and work together to find your authentic and thriving self.

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. I identify as first-gen (both my parents immigrated from Mexico), partnered, mother of two humans, various four-legged friends, and too many plant babies to count. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive, trauma informed, holistic, and culturally humble practices.

I have over a decade of working in a variety of settings, including clinics, schools, home based, and in the community. I have extensive experience working with individuals, adolescents, children and families who desire to enrich their lives through the personal relationships they have with themselves and others. My specialties include working with children under 5, young children with complex trauma, parenting support, and social skills building. I recognize that it is difficult to seek help for yourself or your family and I applaud you in taking the first step.

*****I do not currently have openings***** Life transitions, relationships and experiences provide an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. I welcome adults, adolescents, couples and families who wish to improve any aspect of their lives. I use an integrative approach from several therapeutic modalities to meet individual needs of my clients; self compassion, focusing on gaining insight, understanding relationships and building skills to manage emotions and behaviors. The process involves identifying goals and addressing the factors that might be interfering in achieving a satisfied personal, academic or professional growth and success.

Asking for help can be difficult. Once a person or a family takes that step, I aim to provide a safe and collaborative space in which to explore their concerns and difficulties to find long-lasting relief. I appreciate how tough life can be. I help individuals of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty managing their anger, relationship concerns, ADHD, difficulty processing past trauma, as well as problems with sleep, body image, self-esteem, acculturation, and organizational difficulties. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

We have Spanish speaking staff and therapists. We offer evening and weekend appointments. We have friendly and dedicated staff. We also offer telehealth therapy which can be provided in the privacy and convenience of your home or office.

I enjoy working with people who wish to explore life from different perspectives. Your issues may range from surface level concerns to deeper levels of experience and trauma. I provide emotional support, validation and new perspectives. My intention is to help you work towards goals that will enrich your life.

I am an eclectic therapist, meaning I do not subscribe to any one therapeutic modality as I believe the therapeutic process is fluid and as a clinician, I must be the same. I help you manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, adjustment disorder, grief/loss, PTSD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, children and adolescents navigating the difficulties of adjusting to parent's divorcing and behavioral issues such as oppositional defiance and conduct issues. In an effort to meet my clients where they are, I will take the time needed to examine, with you, the core issues surrounding the problem and assist in developing solutions from that ground work.

The future of psychotherapy is with psychedelics. I have dedicated my life to bringing these tools above ground. I come to this meaningful work with integrity, heartfelt curiosity, and humility after witnessing how transformative psychedelics can be for individuals. I see healing and human connection as an essential aspect of what’s needed for our planet right now and nothing gives me more joy than to see people discovering their vitality and passion for life again. I currently work with ketamine and I also offer support to individuals dabbling with psychedelics and microdosing, providing risk reduction and integration.

Everyone can enjoy a satisfying life of love, work and play. However, we may find ourselves in personal patterns, relationships, or with life issues that keep us from living to our fullest. Though circumstances and illness are difficult, our manner of dealing with them determines whether we are happy or sad, engaged or depressed, relaxed or anxious, and even feeling physically unwell or healthy. Trauma and poor coping are often related to our past desperate attempts to take care of ourselves in difficult situations. Through a passionate, humor-filled, authentic journey we can seek to understand and change your life.

I am dedicated to providing you with the service you need, from the convenience of your home through Telehealth. I am a bilingual (Egyptian Arabic/English) licensed clinical therapist who believes in a holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual), strength-based, individualized approach to therapy. I have an extensive background in depression, anxiety and trauma work.

I provide a safe, supportive relationship where you can explore issues and grow without judgment. I draw from several psychotherapeutic approaches and use what clients are comfortable with yet challenged by such as: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, Attachment theory, Psychodynamic therapy, group psychotherapy, existential/spiritual exploration, mindfulness meditation and addiction relapse prevention and recovery. I only see clients by video. I find it just as effective as face-to-face and you have the comfort of home and no traffic.

Creating a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment in which to engage in a deep, authentic healing process is my intention. Anxiety, depression, and other painful issues, often have their roots in developmental wounding and/or trauma. I help you get to the causes of your pain and patterns that no longer serve you. Mindfulness and somatic resourcing allow you to experience relief (and rewire your brain) while safely navigating and processing the past. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationships, career, self-esteem, and auto-immune, pain and other somatic challenges. I offer individual, couples therapy, groups, workshops, and retreats.

Spring brings change, which can be challenging for mental health. The season's shifts may trigger grief, loss-related emotions, anxiety, stress, and other difficult emotions. Are you experiencing unpredictable waves of grief, hindering your ability to function at work, in relationships, or daily life. This can significantly impact your sense of self and confidence in handling everyday tasks. If you're struggling with sadness, worry, trauma symptoms, or disconnection, you don't have to face it alone. Help is available.

The stigmas of mental health have made it difficult for many to access necessary help. I specialize in providing concierge, individualized, client-centric treatment plans to empowered, high functioning professionals who find themselves marginalized into silence by trauma and shame. I also focus on the South Asian community, offering guidance and a safe place to gain clarity, away from the glare of brown shame and guilt. Whether you’re navigating relationship issues, healing from childhood trauma, or trying to learn healthy coping skills and boundary setting, I can help you regain your strengths to reach your goals.
