Getting to know Erica Perez

I believe emotional honesty is at the heart of any healthy relationship and to model that here is my truth, I did not set out to become a trauma or addiction therapist. In my early years, I wanted to be a cop, actress, or a marine biologist. However, throughout my childhood, I was always drawn to go deep in my relationships. Often being told as a child, I was too deep, or too sensitive. My first therapist in college helped me reframe that narrative, “you experience life deeply”, she said. Born and raised in Charlotte, NC I made my way to the mountains of Western NC just as soon as I could leave home. My first stop was in Boone, NC where I studied Psychology at Appalachian State University and found its teachings inspiring, useful, and fascinating. As for landing in Asheville, that was destiny. I was only intending to be here for one summer and that was 15 years ago. Destined to create a life better than what I had known, I set out to become the person for others that I needed during many of my life struggles, learning to love and embrace all parts of myself and helping others to do the same. I am a person who is eternally optimistic, hopeful, and dedicated to making this world better than I found it. Recovery happens and it is found in community, connection, and through vulnerability, safety, and compassion.

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.
