Erika De La Castro
Relational Therapy
Hi! My name is Erika, and I am here to help you get started on your healing journey.
I specialize in helping couples navigate their toughest seasons, guiding men to transform vulnerability into a core strength, and supporting women as they thrive with ADHD. My approach blends immediate, practical relief with the deep work necessary to heal old wounds at their source. Together, we’ll move past the surface to create lasting, meaningful change.
Counseling Services
Couples Therapy
Are you someone who feels like you and your partner are constantly caught in the same circular arguments, leaving you both feeling unheard and increasingly distant? We work together to uncover the underlying needs beneath the conflict, moving past surface-level bickering to foster a deeper sense of emotional safety and mutual respect. By learning how to communicate with clarity and compassion, you can move away from defensive patterns and rediscover the friendship and intimacy that brought you together in the first place.
WOmen/Girls diagnosed with adhd
I help women and girls (age 14+) accept, understand, and thrive with an ADHD diagnosis. ADHD has so much stigma and is widely misunderstood and often missed in females. I am passionate about helping women better understand themselves and how to prosper in the world around them. In therapy, we will seek out your strengths, learn to cope with your difficulties, and create habits that help you flourish in your every day life.
Vulnerability in men
Are you someone who feels like you have to carry every burden in silence, keeping your true thoughts tucked away to maintain a "strong" exterior? We work together to dismantle the pressure of perfection, using practical tools to help you identify and express emotions without feeling overwhelmed or exposed. By turning vulnerability into a skill rather than a risk, you can bridge the gap between you and the people you love while building a more authentic, resilient life.
Frequently asked questions
WHAT DOES THE FIRST THERAPY SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Before our first session, I will send you some paperwork to fill out to give me a better idea of what you are needing from me. This helps me prepare for our first session! In the first session, I will ask you lots of questions to make sure I really understand who you are and what you are hoping to get out of therapy. There will also be time at the end of the session for you to ask me questions!
HOW LONG DOES THERAPY TAKE?
This totally depends! Therapy is a commitment and an investment, both of which require time for the magic to really happen. Humans are tricky- we don’t work on timelines. For some people, it takes a while to gain trust before we can get to the real work. For others, they dive right in and therapy is completed in only a few months. I encourage clients to see me either weekly, or biweekly because I find when I see clients less often, we spend more of the session catching up than we do working towards our goals. Together, we will set goals for your therapy. As we work through those goals, I will check in frequently to see how you are feeling about the process. Once we have met your therapy goals, we will either set a new therapy goal, or you will graduate from therapy! Your therapy is for you. I am here to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and flourish.
WHO DO YOU TREAT?
I specialize in treating couples who are encountering difficulties in their relationship. I specialize in helping clients work through the aftermath of an affair. I also am passionate and specialize in treating women/girls who have recently been diagnosed with ADHD. Even if you do not fall into either of those categories, please reach out to see if we are a good fit. If not, I would be more than happy to help you find someone who specializes in what you need!
WHERE DO YOU OFFER SESSIONS?
I offer sessions in my office which is located in downtown Louisville, CO. My office is in a cute little house that has been renovated into a commercial space. Also, it is located next to a great bakery for an after-session treat! :) I also offer sessions online for those who live in Colorado, but who are a little too far from Louisville.
WHAT IF I’M SCARED TO START THERAPY?
Everyone is scared to start therapy! I am a therapist, and every time I start my own personal therapy, even I feel a little nervous. Let’s face it- therapy is kind of weird! You sit in a strange room and tell a complete stranger your innermost thoughts and feelings. It makes total sense that you would feel a little uneasy about starting that process. What I can tell you though, is that I truly believe it is worth it. It probably will be a little awkward at first, and it may take a little time for you to warm up, but once we really get going, I bet you’ll be glad you did it.
P.S. If you’re nervous about starting therapy, let me know! We can chat (and joke) about it and I will do my best to make you feel as comfortable as I can.
