Hello, I'm Erica Madge, a dedicated therapist located in the Philadelphia area. My practice is grounded in a thoughtful fusion of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a genuine appreciation for the complexities of human emotions. Through empathetic guidance and professional expertise, I create a safe haven for individuals looking to navigate their paths towards personal growth.
I am not just a therapist; I am a partner on your journey to well-being. My personal experiences have taught me the power of resilience, and my journey with disability has shaped my empathetic approach to helping others. I understand the depth of your struggles, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
With a deep commitment to your growth, I integrate a blend of evidence-based therapies into our work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) equips you with practical skills to manage emotions and navigate life's difficulties. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) empowers you to transform negative thought patterns, while Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us explore the intricacies of your inner world.Alongside these approaches, I also weave in a tapestry of different perspectives from philosophy and spiritual practices.
My philosophy centers on collaboration. Together, we create a safe and open space where your voice is valued and heard. Through our partnership, we'll uncover your strengths and insights, leading to lasting change and personal growth.

Erica is extremely helpful. She is engaging as well as encouraging and for someone who does not have other counseling experience I found it to be immensely comforting and I will always refer anyone in need to Erica and Better Help.
