Getting to know Erika Samji

Hi there, I'm Erika! I am licensed with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, eating disorders, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach I take a collaborative, compassionate, and straightforward approach to care. I believe in being honest and direct while also creating a supportive space where clients feel understood and respected. I use approaches such as CBT and DBT to help clients better understand their thoughts and behaviors to develop practical tools they can use in life. My focus I am a good fit for clients who want both insight and practical tools. Using CBT and DBT, I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, regulate emotions, and develop skills they can apply in real-life situations. My style is direct, honest, and structured, while always grounded in compassion and empathy. My communication style My goal is to foster an environment that feels supportive, respectful, and empowering—one where clients feel encouraged to be honest with themselves and confident in applying what they learn in therapy to their daily lives. I also place a strong emphasis on clarity and structure. My journey to mental healthcare As I pursued my clinical training, I became especially interested in evidence-based approaches that balance insight with practical skills. I was drawn to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) because they offer clear, effective tools while still honoring each person’s unique story and emotional experience.
