I enjoy working with both adults and teen about issues of self-esteem issues , feeling of depression, anger management skills, and coping with anxiety. I believe that we are all apart of a system and need each other to heal. Therapy is also a partnership with you as the leader. You are the expert in your story. I am just here to help guide your decision-making and emotions. As I am easy to talk to and a great listener lets take this journey together.
My clinical skills include Individual and Family therapy, parenting support group, and Group therapy. As a therapist, I primarily use CBT, solution-focused therapy, and Family Structure therapy. My strengths include empathy, patience, excellent listening skills, and being culturally sensitive. When working with clients, I value their trust while maintaining appropriate boundaries. I believe my clients are looking for a way to heal, and through evidenced-based techniques, I support them through the process.

Erica is a very thoughtful therapist, who has helped me with stress, anxiety, and my problems with focusing (potential ADHD). She’s a great listener, and has helped me develop real strategies to cope with those three issues. Highly recommend.

I've only had one session with Erica Gilliam and she is wonderful. I unpacked a lot of baggage and it felt good to talk to someone who listened attentively and who really empathize and wasn't going through the motions. She really cares.

After starting services with Erica, I have learned ways to manage my anxiety and to better express myself. She is able to put herself in my shoes and identify with my struggles without making me feel judged or like I’m doing something wrong. I love my time with her!

Erica is incredible — she’s helped me make meaning out of and create order in my chaotic thoughts, and I always leave our sessions feeling 1000x lighter. Could not recommend her more!
