Eric Eichler
I am a licensed psychotherapist with 14 years of experience helping people suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, loss/grief and PTSD/trauma so that they can live happier, more balanced lives. I received a Master's in Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work in 2012, and graduated from the UC San Diego/ VA San Diego Interprofessional Fellowship in Psychosocial Rehabilitation in 2013. My approach is guided by the belief that a safe, supportive relationship is essential for positive change, and that change is possible. I have specialized training in psychoanalytic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, health coaching, and mindfulness. I also assist with integration of plant medicine experiences. I help my clients uncover and transform the root causes of current problems in order to live lives of purpose and happiness. I am curious by nature, and I’d love to help you explore your particular individuality and its connection with your life history and desires. Through our work together, you’ll gain new insight and appreciation for who you are as you grow in expressing previously unspoken parts of yourself. I’ll ask a lot of questions in our conversations, but also hold space for you to discover your own thoughts and speak them.
