Who I Am

Welcome! I'm Erika Ciriano, LCSW, a first-generation Latina mental health therapist of Mexican descent, deeply committed to guiding individuals on their path to wellness. Raised in a low-income neighborhood of South Central LA, I understand firsthand the challenges and adversities many face. Despite the obstacles, I pursued my education and graduated from the University of Southern California. My personal experiences have fueled my empathy and commitment to helping others overcome their own struggles. I firmly believe in the power of resilience and self-discovery, and I'm grateful to have found a profession that allows me to make a positive impact every day. When I'm not in the therapy room, you can find me outdoors, soaking in the sunshine and embracing the beauty of Southern California. I love what I do, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing.
