ERIKA RANA, LMFT
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist | Founder of Our Human Experience
Hi, I’m Erika.
My passion is guiding couples and individuals through the beautiful, complex terrain of human relationships and personal growth. Whether you are navigating communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, major life transitions, or identity shifts, I create a grounded container where you can slow down and untangle what feels heavy.
In my work with couples, I help partners move beyond defensive loops, rebuild intimacy, and co-create a conscious, lasting foundation ~ whether through ongoing couples therapy, focused relationship intensives, or pre-marital coaching. Alongside my couples work, I support individuals seeking greater clarity, healing from past wounds, or grounding profound inner insights into everyday life.
At the core of my practice is a holistic, integrative approach. I blend evidence-based clinical modalities ~ like Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment work ~ with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and deep respect for your lived experience. Therapy with me isn’t just about putting out fires; it’s about rediscovering genuine connection and opening up to the richness of our shared human experience.
At OUR HUMAN EXPERIENCE, the mission is to empower you through psychoeducation, tools & guidance that help you heal, grow & expand.

Our initial session focuses on what brings you into therapy, your primary goals, and establishing our therapeutic relationship. Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes, and while couples sessions can also be 50 minutes, we can arrange extended sessions if deeper pacing serves your goals better.
Most clients begin with weekly sessions to establish momentum and consistency. As you gain traction and begin feeling tangible shifts, we will collaboratively adjust our meeting frequency.
-
Intensives are designed for couples seeking meaningful, focused momentum without the delay of traditional weekly therapy. Whether you are addressing an acute impasse, breaking out of a persistent cycle, or jump-starting ongoing work, an intensive provides dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your relationship.
Intensives also serve as effective adjunct therapy if you already have a primary therapist; with a signed Release of Information, I am happy to collaborate with your existing clinician.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance companies directly. However, if your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be eligible for partial or full reimbursement.
Upon request, I provide itemized monthly statements (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance company, and I am glad to walk you through how to verify your out-of-network coverage. I also accept direct private payment via major credit and HSA/FSA cards.

Consistency is key to the therapeutic process, but life happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ advance notice. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice (or missed sessions) are billed at the full session rate.
