My name is Erika De La Cruz and I am the Founder, Owner, and Provider as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist of Mind & Body, LLC. I am a dually Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the states of South Carolina and North Carolina as well as a National Certified Counselor. I obtained my BA in Psychology as well as Human Services Studies from Queens University of Charlotte. I then went on to attend Graduate School to obtain my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. As a clinician, I take the time and take great efforts to thoroughly understand you, your story, and your personal experiences.

I am American-Dominican, Latina, born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. I am the proud middle child of two hard working parents who Immigrated from the Dominican Republic many years ago. As a proud daughter of immigrant parents and a single Mother, I know first hand that there is a different drive and hunger for building and success. You can spot me driving all over the city of Charlotte with my beautiful Daughter. I truly enjoy a hot soothing cup of tea or an iced matcha latte, running, yoga, practicing self-love, and traveling.
