Getting to know Erica Oppenheimer

Hi there, I'm Erica! Experienced Therapist for Anxiety, Trauma, Relationships, and Life Transitions | Mind-Body-Aware & Psychoanalytically Informed My approach You may be here because something isn’t working, your thoughts feel overwhelming, relationships are strained, or anxiety has taken up too much space. Maybe you're a deep thinker, someone who “knows better,” but still feels stuck in old patterns. You don’t just want coping strategies, you want real change. I help people uncover what’s underneath their symptoms, make meaning of their experiences, and finally move forward. My clients often say they feel truly seen, gently challenged, and more connected to themselves, to others, and to life. My focus I specialize in treating anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, parenting stress, and high-functioning burnout. Many of the people I work with are therapists, healthcare workers, parents of young children, or those in life transitions (grief, divorce, postpartum, or identity shifts). My approach blends deep listening with collaborative insight. I draw from psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness-based approaches like ACT. I also integrate tools when helpful, especially for grounding, nervous system regulation, and boundary work. I welcome all parts of you, including the ambivalent, angry, or anxious ones. Together, we can create a space where healing doesn’t mean “fixing” yourself, but understanding yourself more fully. My communication style You don’t need to have all the answers or a clear reason to begin. Sometimes we start with a feeling: something feels off, or something keeps happening that you can’t quite explain. I work well with people who are trying to make sense of confusion and contradiction, who feel like they’re running the show. In the room, I hold space for the words you don’t yet have. Clients often say they feel uninterrupted and unhurried, that they’re able to explore parts of themselves that don’t quite add up.
