Getting to know Erika Atkinson

I enjoy working with adults (18 years and older) who are looking for a positive change in their lives. Whether you're struggling with worry, depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, or high stress, finding hope is a key element in making positive changes. Great results begin with building a comfortable therapeutic relationship. Together, we will talk about what life is like for you, the challenges, the good things, the bad things, and anything in between. We will explore and identify goals and what you want your life to look like after therapy. We will discuss possible strategies and develop a realistic plan. My approach Advocate, Support, and Empower! I am trained in EMDR, a model that is widely regarded as one of the best and most effective in the treatment of PTSD, phobias, anxiety, and other psychological conditions. I am also trained in military culture with over 12 years of experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My focus I am passionate about working with clients through a variety of life changes with the goal of improving emotional and social functioning to live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. As a therapist, I can help you improve your mood and self-esteem, manage stress/anxiety, create healthy boundaries, process trauma, and prioritize self-care. My communication style I am passionate about providing a safe environment of comfort, nonjudgement, and understanding in order to provide focus on a client-led experience. I enjoy helping others reach their goals and to help them move forward from stressful events they have encountered.
