Getting to know Erika Scruggs

Helping others live better lives has been my passion since my early teens when I decided to become a counselor. Now, as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I enjoy working with adults struggling with OCD, anxiety, and life’s many stresses. In my practice, I use primarily Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral (CBT) techniques to help my clients reduce intrusive thoughts, withstand anxiety, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My clients have described me as warm, accepting and open. I can’t wait to hear from you so we can start your journey toward a better life!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use ERP, ACT and CBT to address symptoms of OCD, anxiety, phobias and life stressors. In my experience, what we resist tends to persist. Instead of fighting or avoiding, using acceptance strategies and learning to tolerate distressing emotions can be more effective in reducing symptoms and helping you get your life back.
