Getting to know Erica Hallman
Growing up, navigating school, managing a neurodivergent brain, adjusting to life’s unexpected turns – none of it is easy. For many children, teens, and adults, the hardest part isn’t the challenge itself. It’s feeling like no one truly gets it. Finding a therapist who understands how your brain works and actually listens to your story can change everything.
That’s exactly the kind of therapist Erica Hallmann, MSW, LSW is.
Erica brings over seven years of experience in public school settings working alongside children and adolescents with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder – collaborating with speech therapists, occupational therapists, school staff, and families to support students’ social-emotional needs alongside their academics. She also led mindfulness groups for students ages 5 to 18. That background gives her something most therapists don’t have: a deep, practical, real-world understanding of how ADHD and ASD show up not just in a therapy room, but in classrooms, at home, and in the everyday moments that matter most.
Erica provides individual and family therapy for children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults. Her top specializations are ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and life changes and adjustments — and she also supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and self-esteem and self-worth.
When it comes to ADHD, Erica understands that it impacts far more than just the individual – affecting relationships, family dynamics, school, and work. Her approach is practical, focused on helping clients understand how their brain works and developing strategies that fit their life. For clients on the autism spectrum, she believes in getting to know the person first, understanding their unique strengths and communication style, and helping them feel comfortable, accepted, and genuinely understood. She also supports parents navigating the complex realities of raising a child with ASD – from school systems to daily dynamics that
What should a new client know about working with you?
I want you to know that this is a space where you can be yourself. I meet every client with honesty and authenticity, and I genuinely care about learning your story – not just the challenges you're facing, but who you are. Whether you're a child, teen, young adult, or adult, I'll help you feel comfortable and seen while also being honest with you as we work toward real growth. It's an honor to be part of the breakthroughs that happen along the way, and my background in education gives me added insight when working with children, teens, and families.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is genuine and relationship-focused – I believe real progress starts with feeling truly heard, so our work together begins with honest conversation and getting to know your story. I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults, meeting you at whatever stage of growth or change you're in. As we build trust, we'll focus on developing the skills, confidence, and self-understanding you can carry through life's milestones and challenges. My background in education also shapes how I work with children, teens, and families, giving me a grounded sense of how to support growth at each stage of development.
