More about me

Licensing: LPCC Years in Practice: 11 State: New Mexico

There are definitely things that we can do in service of our own healing and growth but I tend to believe that there aren’t really answers or solutions to things, nor does there need to be, but instead ways of looking at them and holding them so that we can be in better relationship with them. I believe we can offer ourselves a perspective that can turn situations, circumstances, feelings, relationships with others and the relationship with ourselves into dance partners, instead of opponents that need to be defeated, not allowed or kept down. We can invite all of our experiences onto the dance floor of our heart! As a human being we will sometimes dance with incredible Grace and at other times be quite clumsy. We are allowed, we are human! If we allow ourselves to move with humor, patience, understanding and forgiveness we can recognize that our life’s dance can truly be Blessed and beautiful!

Quite simply offering behavioral, emotional and relational support to young people, individuals and families on their journeys. Providing a strength based approach in which warmth, patience, humility, humor and sincere reflection nurture the already existing health and strength within each human being. Since 2012 I have been Blessed with being able to provide therapeutic support to children, adolescents, adults and families in my role as a youth and family therapist. I would be honored to provide any support or therapeutic accompaniment I can offer to assist you on your path of healing, personal growth, individual unfoldment or just surfing the waves of life. I look forward to working with you. Thank you so much! Eric

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

We've just begun, but I'm really enjoying working with Eric through therapy. I feel I'm heard and understood, and I feel comfortable bringing all my thoughts and feelings to the sessions. Looking forward to many more!

Eric and I have had productive meetings. Moreover, I'm enjoying him.

Eric is one of the most passionate and understanding individuals I’ve ever spoken to. If you have ADD or ADHD, THIS is your therapist

I found myself a true gem with Eric. I was in a really low spot mentally and Eric was the comfort and conversation I needed to get me by. We’ve shared so many highs and lows to date and I always look forward to my chats with him. I usually come out of my appointments feeling uplifted, understood, and empowered to take action. I usually end our chats racing to my notebook and messaging my best friend about the key takeaways I just learned. Even on good days, I enjoy our conversations and consider Eric a key component of not only my healing journey, but also my life journey.

Eric has really helped me understand my emotions and how to deal with them. He’s very kind and listens to me and isn’t judging he offers clear ideas and how to explore them. He’s been a huge help.

Eric has been such an incredible and vital support to me in these recently trying and difficult times. From our very first session, he created an atmosphere of unparalleled kindness and patience that made me feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Eric possesses an extraordinary ability to foster a safe space where I could openly discuss my challenges without fear of judgment. He consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of empathy, never once making me feel inadequate or less than. This compassionate approach allowed me to explore my thoughts and emotions with a sense of validation that was truly empowering. His commitment to helping me develop healthier coping mechanisms, become more patient and gentler with myself, and the practical strategies and guidance that we worked on together have proven instrumental in my personal growth journey. It’s evident that Eric is deeply invested in the well-being of his clients, going above and beyond to ensure that each session contributes to positive and lasting change. In Eric, I have found not only a skilled professional but also a genuine ally in my pursuit of mental and emotional well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist who combines expertise with a truly compassionate and understanding nature. Thank you, Eric, for being an integral part of my transformative journey so far. I look forward to seeing you again when I can rejoin BetterHelp and continuing the journey with you!

I have been to therapy many time since I'm a kid and I can say my experience with Eric was the best I have ever had! I have been his patient for over a year and I it has been a great experience. He is incredibly understanding and kind , and really helped me out to be kinder to myself and love myself more ^_^ Chatting with him was always really pleasurable and insightful! I definitely recommend you to choose Eric as you therapist of choice, he's a total legend!

I’ve been going to therapy with Eric for about a year, and can honestly say that his support and effort has been foundational in the personal growth I’ve experienced over that time. His skill as a therapist is overshadowed only by his quality as a person, which is genuinely second to none. He someone manages to blend sincere empathy while not discounting my own responsibility, which has been incredibly helpful for me to have a space of unconditional positive regard that equally helps me to uncover the control I have over my life. I would 100% recommend Eric to anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, a poor sense of self, anger management and generally looking to find some emotional well-being.

He’s very thorough, I truly believe he cares about me and what’s best for me and he’s a fantastic listener while offering advice on how to see things.

Eric is truly a joy to work with. He meets you where you are, and knows well what kinda input one needs at different phases of their journey. He's very resourceful, and not to forget his listening skill - he truly hears not only what you are saying, but also reads between the lines, connects previous statements with current ones, and points out possible blindspots. Much recommended!

Been d Talking to Eric for a few months now, and I wish I started sooner. He's great at helping me look at things at a different view. Highly recommend him!

Eric has been a great therapist for me. He's very understanding and gentle and offers safe space where I don't feel judged for being human and making human decisions and having human feelings and emotions. That's been important to me and my healing and my willingness to stay in therapy. Our dialogue has been an eye opening as well where it allows me to see things from outside of my own perspective. Overall my experience with Eric has been a positive one

2 sessions and his advice has already had a great and positive impact when it comes to my anxiety. I highly recommend Eric if you are hesitant to start Therapy, he has given me a great experience. He talks to me like a friend and hears me out. Thank you Eric for everything you’ve done for me and I look forward to future sessions with you.

Eric is amazing! I've tried therapy when I was younger and it was a terrible experience for me. I decided to try better help and I just didn't feel like my therapist was right for me so I was going to cancel but I came in contact with Erica profile and I'm so grateful I did. He's amazing truly a joy and something I look forward to every week

Eric Golden is an excellent listener. He is friendly, understanding, and supportive. He gives very good advice. Eric has helped me a lot. I'm lucky to have him as my therapist. I'd highly recommended him.

Eric is great.

Eric is an extremely gifted therapist. I have felt genuinely heard and seen through out my journey. He listens and provides the most insightful and compassionate feedback. After every session I was left with clarity and hope that has been missing in my life. So grateful I got matched with him after a few unsuccessful matches.

Eric is the best therapist I've ever worked with. Very attentive, listens carefully and cares deeply. His advices are genuine and wise and he's very sensitive on how to deliver them carefully and appropriately, choosing the right words. Plus he has a funny approach that makes heavy topics lighter without devaluing it. You can talk to him about anything literally, and he will always listen, appreciate and try to help as much as he can. I've been working with him for almost 6 months now, he helped me massively, and I'm willing to continue.

My therapy sessions with Eric have been enlightening and productive. He has created a trusting environment and has provided valuable insights during our discussions. Eric is a great listener and makes me feel comfortable, like talking to a friend.

Eric is brilliant and has been a valued partner for a year now. Working with him has helped me understand who I am and helped me cope with the pressures of life, work and relationships.

Eric has been very compassionate and thoughtful when helping me through my situation. It was nice to have reference material to research after our talks as well.

I am a man of few words. Eric is great. he is funny, sensitive to your needs, attentive, observant, and just a great person to lighten the proverbial load.

Eric is an excellent therapist and a wonderful person. He has helped me in so many ways. From the first moment you meet him his expertise and passion for helping others is clear. What you get with Eric is authentic understanding, compassion, support, and guidance. He helped me to identify the issues that I was facing and then offered me tools and ideas with which to solve them. And these things I have learned from Eric are things I can take with me throughout the rest of my life. I recommend Eric 100%.

After years of trial and error with therapy, I’m happy to have found such a skilled, professional, and engaged therapist who is truly in his element. Eric has a deep sense of complex traumatic conditions and doesn’t limit the treatment to a single approach. He integrates and suggests many different things depending on the circumstances but manages to keep the continuity of the process, which is very helpful.

A nice helpful person and a very good listener. Helps me a lot with the many topics i have to deal with. My first thearpy ever that is so positiv and helpful. I want to say thank you Eric. You helping so good, i hope you also get help if you need it.

Eric is genuine. He's an amazing listener and very fluid in his conversations. Our conversations have felt like talking to an old friend. I come out feeling much better out of it. I know that he would do this for anyone that would come to him for help .

Eric has been incredibly helpful to me, he absolutely listens and thinks about what you are going through and offers incredible insights. I absolutely feel heard and valued. His approach is genuine and his kindness and thoughtfulness lift me up, I can't recommend him enough.

Eric is an incredibly compassionate person and a fantastic therapist - my experience so far has been nothing but positive.

Eric is an absolutely lovely human. He radiates warmth, and his calming presence is everything I could ask for!

Eric helped me tremendously. This has been my first experience with therapy and it has positively changed my life in ways I couldn’t imagine. Eric is wise, kind, intelligent, and a great person. He has helped me evaluate, understand, and flow with my anxiety and stress. He’s provided feedback that changed my perspective and approach. 10/10. Thank you Eric. Sincerely!

Eric provides a safe and supportive environment that is so needed right now. He is a very kind human and an excellent listener. He has a non-judgmental and open minded approach, which makes it easy to open up to him. He is a great therapist for this platform :)

Eric is a very good listener, who listens to my problems and demonstrates a lot of empathy. He gives beautiful analogies and helps me through my difficult time. Will highly recommend Eric to anyone starting out with Therapy.

Eric was a very nice and kind therapy! He made me feel the joy by just talking to him! I'm very thankful. Even though I'm gonna stop doing therapy vut I will always appreciate his help! And I wanna say thank you and good bye to him in this review, because my session is expired. I wish you all the best Eric! Thank you very much for your help and your kindness, stay healthy;)

Eric Golden is the best listener and a very gentle, and caring being. I am really happy to be working with him.

I personally love being Eric's patient. He is very caring and energetic, and is very personal and not afraid to be himself, which I really enjoy about anyone. He has helped expose things of myself that has changed how I see myself and I really appreciate it. Don't be afraid to share your experiences with him!

Thank you, Eric. These last 3 weeks have been tremendously helpful and I look forward to my weekly sessions. I appreciate your wisdom and assistance!
