About me

Welcome! Deciding to make changes to your life can be scary, but also rewarding. I applaud you for taking this first step. My name is Erica James and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with relationships, family conflict, and parent-child relational issues. I focus on changing negative patterns that have developed and left you feeling stuck within those relationships and interactions. Often times, we do not realize that we are in these cycles and developed these patterns. That's where having an informed objective perspective could really help to broaden the scope of what is keeping you feeling that way.

My counseling style is warm, inviting, and interactive. I believe in celebrating our uniqueness and embracing our differences by treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, structural and rational-emotive counseling. However, I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs in a way that will make you feel comfortable and understood.

Remember, no one can "fix" your situation. It will take time and hard work on your part to make the changes you want to see made. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you feel ready to take that step, I will walk with you, support you, and empower you. Let's get started.

Erica really supported, encouraged, and helped me work through some difficult times in my life and really helped me in my journey in growing as a person. I am so appreciative of my time with her. She is patient, kind, understanding, present, encouraging, and frames things in ways that foster growth and introspection.

Erica is absolutely a dream! She is so kind, understanding, and affirming. She knows when to draw me back from rumination when to push me to reflect more on my thoughts and actions. This has been such a healing experience and I would highly recommend Erica to anyone who needs a kind, empathetic companion to figuring out their lives!

Erica has been absolutely spectacular. It was obvious from day one that she really cares about trying to impact me for the better, and she works incredibly hard to keep me focused on the bigger picture. Having her in my life has been a blessing and I’m not sure I could have made it through without her.
