Eric Loya

I provide psychotherapy for trauma recovery, building strategies for anxiety and OCD, and processing bereavement and life transitions. For the past 14 years I have helped adults and teens increase emotional resiliency when facing anxiety, manage unwanted thoughts, move toward recovery from the wounds of trauma, find peace and integration by processing the many forms of grief, and find shelter from the rainclouds of depression. My work is rooted in the art of slowing down the busy mind; slow enough to allow you to tend to the parts of you that may be suffering. With more awareness, it becomes more possible to move toward deepening emotional and somatic insight, opening pathways for intuitive healing, increasing emotional resilience, and embracing self-compassion. Working together, we can develop new strategies and insights that you can integrate into the life you have, and envision for yourself. As a person-centered therapist, the top priority in our work together will be adhering to your personal goals for growth and healing. Every person is an expert on their own story and meaning-making of their own experiences. I learn from your self-wisdom to understand how best to support your journey toward the desired change you seek. I am an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, and uphold anti-racist, social justice-oriented values in my personal and professional life. I am devoted to building trust and safety, and to providing a culturally conscious and fully-inclusive healing space for everyone seeking to tend to their inner and social well-being. I look forward to building trust and providing safety in our therapeutic work together.
