Getting to know Erica Tringali
Do you feel like you have to hold it all together, even when things feel off inside? At my practice, we help people figure out what's really driving the anxiety, the relationship patterns, or the burnout that talk therapy alone hasn't fixed.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and my practice uses an integrative approach that combines talk therapy, nervous system education, and EMDR when it's a good fit. We start by getting clear on the beliefs and patterns running the show, whether that's feeling like you're never enough or bracing for relationships to fall apart. From there we work through them in a way that actually sticks, not just something you understand intellectually but something that changes how you feel and respond day to day.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in finance on Wall Street. That background helps me connect with clients who are used to performing and achieving, and who are ready to feel steady on the inside too.
My practice works with adults dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Sessions are warm, direct, and collaborative. Our goal is to help you trust yourself again and build a life that actually feels like yours.
We offer sessions by telehealth to clients in New York and Washington State. If you're ready to talk, we'd love to hear your story.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My style to therapy is a person-centered approach since every person who comes in has a unique story. I left a career on Wall Street to build the kind of practice I wished had existed when I needed one, so I don't take it lightly that you're trusting me with what's going on underneath the surface. I specialize in EMDR and trauma informed care, and I have a knack for seeing what you're actually struggling with, even when it's not what you came in thinking you'd talk about.
I'm kind and non-judgmental, but I'm also not going to let you stay stuck just to keep things comfortable. If you're someone who has it together on paper but still feels off inside, I get that, and I won't let you perform your way through our sessions either.
You don't need to have it all figured out before we start. That's what we're here to do together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We start by mapping out what's actually running the show. I help you trace where your core beliefs came from, the experiences that taught you to think, feel, and react the way you do now. Most people have a moment of "oh, that's the story I've been living from."
From there, we ground it in what's actually happening in your nervous system. You'll understand why you shut down, why you overachieve, why your body reacts the way it does, without judgment. Your system learned something, and once you see that, it starts to loosen.
We also work with the parts of you that developed these patterns to protect you in the first place. I don't try to shame or fight those parts. We meet them with curiosity, because they kept you safe once.
When it's a good fit, I use EMDR to help your nervous system actually process the experiences behind these beliefs, not just talk about them. This is where the emotional charge starts to lift and the old belief stops feeling true.
Finally, we work on living it out. Insight alone tends to fade once you're back in your regular life, so I stay with you as you practice new choices in real relationships and real pressure, until the change actually sticks.

Felt very forced. There was no intro. Just dove right in, which felt awkward and forced.

Erica has been a transformative therapist for me in the 1+ years I have been working with her. She uses several therapeutic approaches (including EMDR) to resolve the issue you working on. Working with Erica has helped me get through immensely difficult life moments. Her approach is kind, non-judgmental, but firm on taking steps to get better.
I would highly recommend working with Erica and have referred her to several friends!

Since my first appointment with Erica a few months ago, many things changed. She helped me to better know myself, how to anticipate certain behaviors and how to deal with them. She's reliable, very sweet and trustful. I'm glad I met Erica!

Erica creates a safe space to talk about your circumstances and feelings. She is a strong listener and slows to speak, but when she does speak up, it is gracious, impactful wisdom for you to take into your daily life.

EMDR was a new form of therapy that I sought out. Working with Erica I finally was able to make headway on changing negative core beliefs and navigate my romantic relationships with less fight, flight or freeze. She is a sweet and soft presence that was brought comfort when facing trauma.

Working with Erica has been such a life changing experience. I have never met someone so kind. Every time I share an experience with her, she listens thoroughly and takes notes. She remembers details about me and comes into every session full of energy. I have had therapists in the past that are distracted during sessions, but Erica gives me her full attention in every session. Every time I’m stressed or anxious, I think about the next time I get to speak with her. I can tell that she deeply cares about the people that she works with ????

Erica has always been so insightful, easy to talk to and very reliable. Whenever I needed extra sessions or to move an appointment, she has been very accommodating. I always look forward to our sessions together and find her to be one of the big reasons I have had so much personal growth in the last 2 years. I would definitely recommend Erica to anyone!
