Getting to know Erica Laks

Hi there, I'm Erica! I have worked as a therapist for nearly a decade in various environments with diverse populations. My ability to have real and authentic conversations creates a safe space for healing and growth. I work with individuals and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and am a certified ADD/ADHD counselor (Evergreen Certifications 2024). I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University, which equipped me with a strong foundation to support clients through complex relational and individual challenges. My approach The approaches I use vary based on client needs. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and operate from a trauma-focused lens. These modalities help create a shared understanding of clients' worlds and allow collaborative work to create a path forward. My focus I have extensive experience working with teens and adults. Much of my focus has been helping clients navigate life transitions and pressures, often presenting as anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, and ADD/ADHD. Our work includes learning to maneuver through transitions and building skills to feel more confident about yourself and your outlook on life. My communication style I foster a safe and authentic space for open communication. It’s important that clients feel comfortable sharing in a judgment-free environment. My journey to mental healthcare I fell in love with this field because of my desire to help others. Growing up in diverse environments exposed me to people from all walks of life, helping me understand different perspectives. I have always been drawn to helping others through difficult times and watching them become the best versions of themselves.
