Getting to know Erica Smith

Hi there, I'm Erica! Hello! I am so happy you are here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience in Washington, Florida, and Nevada. I hold a Master?s in Counseling Psychology from the University of West Florida. I enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety disorders, including phobia, social anxiety, and OCD, among others. I want to help you combat imposter syndrome and people-pleasing behaviors. I also specialize in supporting those experiencing grief. Losing a loved one can be life-altering, and I want to honor your loved one while helping you find meaning in the future. Other areas I work well with include postpartum concerns and relationship challenges. My approach My approach to therapy is to provide a warm, comforting space where you can process your thoughts and emotions. I believe everyone has the power to make changes in their lives, and I want to help you find hope and build the life you want to live. My focus Many of my clients are women navigating life?s stressors, anxiety disorders, postpartum concerns, or relationship issues. I have a background in trauma work and am comfortable addressing a variety of concerns. My communication style My communication style is direct, challenging yet gentle. You are the expert of you, and I bring knowledge of psychology and therapy. Let?s work together to create a treatment plan that helps you achieve the life you desire. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to this field many years ago by a strong desire to understand human behavior?not just to study it, but to be part of the solution to common human problems. My goals for you Goal setting is client-centered and collaborative. You know what you want to work on, so let?s work together to make it happen. My first session with you During our first session, we will explore the problem at hand and possible solutions or areas to address later. Change often begins within the first sessions and grows from there.
