⸻ INTRODUCING Eric Hinojosa, MA, LPC
Healing Starts From Within: Let’s Explore Together
As a licensed professional counselor and co-founder of The Alternative Center for Therapy, I believe our early relationships and unconscious patterns deeply shape how we relate to the world today. My practice offers a safe and reflective space to explore the emotional roots of anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-defeating behaviors. With experience supporting individuals through complex trauma, legal systems, and major life transitions, I bring both depth and cultural sensitivity to our work. My foundation in psychodynamic theory is complemented by practical, responsive strategies that honor your unique story. Together, we’ll work to illuminate the internal conflicts and unmet needs that sustain distress. Healing is not about being fixed—it’s about understanding yourself more fully and gaining freedom through insight. This process is ultimately about rewriting your story with self-compassion and agency.
