Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.5 mi away • California


It's hard to find non-judgmental therapy, especially when dealing with subjects that evoke shame. That's why I collaborate to create a therapy that meets you as you are. I hold an affirming space for marginalized orientations, neurotypes, and relationship styles. We can work to navigate major issues like trauma, sexuality and life changes, or an ongoing condition like depression or anxiety. I am also passionate about supporting people through their gender journeys. My therapy is not just inclusive, but is LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming. I also enjoy working with couples or relationship groups as they navigate challenges.

Erica Thurlow

Erica Thurlow

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.6 mi away • California


Hi, I’m Erica Thurlow, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in mindfulness and evidence-based practices like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a passion for supporting neurodivergent individuals, honoring their unique wiring and building lives aligned with their values.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly 20 years working as a grip/rigging grip in the film industry. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for creativity, high-pressure environments, and the importance of meaningful human connection. I earned my M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Hope International University, where I also trained as an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. Whether you're seeking emotional processing, relationship repair, or making peace with your past, we'll work together in cultivating acceptance, empowerment, and change.

Are you experiencing persistent anxiety, rumination, panic symptoms, or perfectionistic self-criticism? Are you feeling like you are "too much?" I help clients navigate these feelings and build skills to cope. I can help you if you're experiencing difficulty with identity, purpose, or meaning in life or gender and/or sexual identity, coming out, or navigating relationships and family stress. I help clients experiencing grief from change — lost roles, relationships, identity shifts or life transitions. If you're experiencing stress related to college, academic pressure, or entering adulthood, I would love to work with you.
