Getting to know Dr. Ericka Woods

Dr. Ericka Woods is a licensed psychologist in New York and Connecticut with Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) through the PSYPACT Commission. A Certified Grief Educator with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dr. Woods is known for her honest, caring, kind, and centered approach to helping clients navigate life’s challenges. Dr. Woods earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in General Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. In addition to her psychodynamic foundation, she has extensive training in evidence-based approaches including CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and ERP, allowing her to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, goals, and experiences. For Dr. Woods, psychology is more than a profession, it is her vocation. She believes that when someone is given the ability to help others, they have a responsibility to use those abilities with integrity, compassion, and care. She is inspired by the opportunity to support individuals facing both visible and invisible struggles, and believes every person has the capacity to find a path forward. Her role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based tools while helping clients discover their own strengths and resilience. Building trust and a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of Dr. Woods’ approach. Meaningful therapy begins with a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. Combining warmth, authenticity, and clinical expertise, she partners with clients to explore difficult experiences, foster insight, and develop practical strategies for lasting growth. Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Woods enjoys reading, long walks, traveling, shows and concerts, and spending time near the water, which she finds especially restorative.
