About Erika
Erika Rana is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to help people build healthier self esteem and stronger relationships. Erika focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day to feel steadier and more confident.
She blends a client-centered, humanistic outlook with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused work. Sessions are tailored to each person, with attention to life changes, stress, anxiety, grief, and issues around intimacy and identity. Erika also brings experience supporting people coping with addiction, trauma, and complicated family dynamics.
Erika has worked with people involved with foster care and the criminal justice system, and with those facing domestic violence and substance use challenges. She also has experience with LGBT clients and people from Latinx and Caribbean backgrounds, and she offers services in Spanish for native speakers.
In independent practice she has supported clients after difficult spiritual or psychedelic experiences and integrates mindfulness alongside breathwork informed by her background as a certified yoga teacher and Reiki master. She adapts techniques to each person rather than following a single formula.
Erika describes her role as companion and guide on a client’s path to change. She focuses on learning what matters to the person first, then building skills and insight to reach those goals. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her style feels like a good fit before starting work.
