Hello! I’m Erik Bromberg, LCSW.

Growing up, I experienced daily anxiety that got in the way of making friends, speaking up in class and trying new activities. I had stomach aches and never felt comfortable in my skin. Everyday tasks felt incredibly hard. These experiences led me to discover how to make peace (mostly) with my anxiety so that I could spend my days doing the things that I care about. Now as a therapist, I would like to provide the support to quiet down your own anxiety so that you can embrace family, friends and what’s important to you. 

I have a passion for working with young people and their families who experience social anxiety, selective mutism, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks and generalized anxiety. I utilize a strengths-based and whole person approach to help young people find their inner strength and bravery to face even the hardest situations. 

I use evidence based practices in my work including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). All my work is done with developmental level in mind to make sure that the interventions are individually matched. 

I received my masters in Social Welfare at UC Berkeley in 2014 and earned my LCSW in 2016. Through my professional experience I have worked as a Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) therapist for youth with autism, supported children with high emotional and behavioral needs at school, provided community-based mental therapy, and coordinated with primary care doctors to address social and emotional needs that affect health. I’m comfortable navigating complex systems to help you advocate for yourself and get the care you need.

I’m looking forward to working with you! If you have any questions or are ready to see if we are a good fit please contact me or book a free initial consultation.
