Erica Cardenas, LCSW

My name is Erica Cardenas, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), based in Los Angeles County, California. I work with minors adults, primarily young adults processing issues with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and depression, using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help my clients meet their goals. I am a fairly energetic and direct therapist. My aim is to set expectations while also creating a safe open place to talk. In treatment, I often include skills learning, insight building (I.e. learning more about yourself), and relationship modeling (i.e. using our professional relationship as an example of a healthy boundary-setting yet accepting relationship).
