Getting to know Erik Erickson

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy treatment modalities as a base and bring in various other treatment methods based on the client. I have worked in several different areas with many different populations including a foster family agency, crisis unit, psychiatric hospital, and EAP programs. I believe in a straightforward approach to therapy. I focus on empowering individuals to empower themselves to make long-lasting changes and enhance the quality of their lives. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
