About Ericka
Ericka Elder Ortega is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges tied to identity and past trauma. She holds licensure in Indiana as an LMHC and in Utah as an LCMHC and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. Her approach emphasizes building trust so clients can speak honestly about what’s weighing on them.
She creates a calm space where people can name difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions concentrate on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on understanding patterns that keep problems active. Ericka encourages small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Her background includes supporting people facing LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. She also addresses eating and food-related struggles, abandonment wounds, guilt and shame, and mood-related concerns. This range helps her tailor conversations to each person’s priorities.
Ericka values collaboration and helps clients set clear goals for therapy. She works side by side with people to test out strategies and adjust plans when needed. The aim is to increase confidence, reduce overwhelm, and build skills people can use day to day.
She practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
