If anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma has started to feel like it's steering your life instead of you, that's exactly where I do my best work. I'm Erica, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I think of myself as your therapeutic GPS — you set the destination, and I help you find the route. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples, and I bring genuine respect, real-world knowledge, and yes, some humor to every session, because feeling comfortable with your therapist actually matters for getting better.

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and high performers—including Division I athletes, professionals, and anyone striving to meet high expectations. In my work, I’ve learned that growth happens at the edge of comfort—where support and challenge meet. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both direct and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and encouraged to move forward.

Born in Taiwan, raised in Southern California, and trained in San Francisco and New Mexico, I bring a blend of cultural humility, life experience, and professional training into every session. As an Asian American therapist, I value identity, culture, and lived experience as essential pieces of healing. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your real self—without judgment, without masks.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Rancho Mirage, CA


I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.

I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Modesto

Searching for therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with your specific needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work, what kinds of concerns they support, and whether their style seems like a fit.

In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include therapists with local offices as well as California-licensed therapists who offer virtual sessions. In-person care may fit if you prefer meeting near home, work, or familiar areas of the city. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule, transportation, or location makes office visits harder to plan. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.

Therapy in Modesto can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and see who is accepting new clients. You can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
