Getting to know Eric Westman

Hello! am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a passion for helping individuals, couples, children, teens, and families navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. With more than 15 years of experience working with youth, adults, and families in clinical and residential settings, I bring compassion, authenticity, and practical support to the counseling process. If desired, I integrate Christianity with therapy for those clients seeking it. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, life transitions, behavioral concerns, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, and sexual addiction. I also help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, improve intimacy, and navigate challenging seasons in their relationships. My experience supporting children and adolescents allows me to effectively address emotional, behavioral, academic, and social concerns while helping young people build confidence and resilience. My approach to counseling is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I believe that healing and personal growth happen within supportive relationships, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and develop practical strategies that support growth and lasting change.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
