Individual Therapy & Couples Counseling in Los Angeles
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in California’s west Los Angeles neighborhoods of Playa Vista, Mar Vista, Venice, and Culver City.
In my practice as a therapist, I use research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want — better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression, and more control over their life.
Individual therapy
I help my clients cope with difficult emotional experiences, overcome the hindrances of depression and anxiety, and feel a greater sense of control over their lives.
We can explore the pattern of roadblocks keeping you stuck, and work together to find solutions that move you forward.
Couples Therapy
We all know that relationships take work, but what happens when you’re not sure what work needs to be done?
I work with couples of all ages and demographics to help restore connection and cultivate joy in relationships that have otherwise lost their spark.

A little about myself…
In my practice as a Los Angeles therapist, I integrate research and evidence-based practices to help my clients get the outcomes they want — improved relationships, decreased anxiety and depression, and more control over their lives.
Every client has unique needs, so I do not limit our work to any single modality. I blend a variety of techniques to create a customized approach to treatment for each individual.
My approach also involves feedback informed treatment, a practice borne out of research that found that client input can dramatically improve the process and outcomes of psychotherapy.
I pursued a few paths before my career in mental health which shaped me into being more understanding, attentive, and creative as a therapist…

Therapy is a place for personal development and inner exploration. It is a place to develop and apply philosophy to get what you want out of life. The process can be challenging because vulnerability can feel threatening. That’s why I prioritize the safety of our relationship. I want you to feel supported and understood during our time together, whether in online therapy across California or in-person at my Playa Vista office.
That being said, I believe growth requires more than just support and listening. You deserve to have someone who can be compassionate and direct with you. I strive to be that person. Sometimes, the best therapy isn’t about hearing what you want to hear — it’s about hearing what you need to hear. I strive to provide that experience for the people of Los Angeles as a therapist.
Change doesn’t happen overnight. Becoming a person is a gradual process that requires discipline and conscious effort. Together, we begin taking the steps towards getting where you want to go. Read more about individual therapy here…

I've been seeing Eric for almost two years, and my experience has been nothing but a positive one. I feel heard and understood, and at the same time, challenged and engaged to better understand my mental health, and being provided the tools to approach and better it. I remember how hard it was finding and starting therapy and I really couldn't recommend Eric enough.
Two years ago, I began to reach out to therapists and discovered Erik Anderson, LMFT through the secular therapy project. After an initial phone interview, I felt a connection and began working on my mental health with one of the most thoughtful, compassionate, and caring people I've ever met. Being a self-reflective person,
Your search for a Therapist ends now! I was fortunate enough to have been paired up with Erik during a very challenging period of my life in 2018. He helped me through one of the roughest patches of my life but made sure that I credited myself for the progress I made. He emphasized that he only provided the tools
I highly recommend Erik to anyone seeking support and guidance. Erik creates a safe and non-judgmental space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings, and offers practical strategies to help navigate my life's challenges.Our sessions have been incredibly helpful in improving my mental health, in only just a few
I was at first very resistant to seeking help through therapy, but I'm so glad I took the leap and eventually found Erik. After not connecting with a few other therapists, I met Erik and knew early he had the fresh, modern perspective to therapy I was looking for and a wealth of knowledge and tactical tools to help me get

Erik is wonderful - he listens, responds thoughtfully, is engaged, and challenges you. Everything you want in a therapist. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who's either looking to start therapy or is looking to continue on their mental health journey.
I was very intimidated to start therapy. In 2019, my stress & anxiety has surely pushed the envelope to the point where it had taken over a prominent portion of my life. I had never addressed mental health formally, & I was in search for help to accommodate my overall sense of well-being.
Erik has really helped me work through a lot of things that have been going on. Something about his approach just works for me, and it's been really useful to get more insight into things, or try and find better ways to deal with them.
