Erika Pigg-Noriega, Ph.D.

I work with high-achieving women who are carrying more than anyone around them knows. You've built something impressive — a career, a family, a life that looks exactly right from the outside. And you're exhausted in ways that are hard to explain, even to yourself. The anxiety is constant, the pressure is relentless, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. I'm Dr. Erika Pigg-Noriega — a licensed psychologist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider (PMH-C), working mother, and entrepreneur. I founded California Psychology & Wellness specifically for women like you: the ones who have mastered the art of holding everything together — and are quietly falling apart on the inside. My specialties are anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples using an evidence-based, deeply personalized approach — integrating CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and emotionally focused methods, tailored to your goals and your life. Sessions are warm, direct, and structured around what actually matters to you. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinician with deep multicultural training, I bring genuine cultural fluency to every client relationship. I understand what it means to balance ambition with identity, and professional success with personal wellbeing. If you've been waiting for support that actually matches your complexity — I'd be honored to work with you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can make sure it feels like the right fit.
