About me

Are you ready to experience more joy and happiness in your life?
Are you ready to reach your goals and live a more fulfilling life?
​Are you ready to have more energy and a healthy mindset?

Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of stress, anxiety, and depression? Is your self-esteem low or non-existent? Are you having problems in your relationships? Change is hard, but I believe that every person has the potential to be the best version of him or herself that he or she can be, and that you are the expert of your life. I can help you become empowered to make the changes you want for your life.

​As a therapist, I offer an honest, respectful, non-judgmental environment to empower clients to achieve short and long term goals. In this compassionate safe relationship I will support you in finding and creating meaning and purpose in your life. My counseling style is direct and interactive. We will do this by examining old beliefs and habits that have been holding you back.

The compassionate relationship that is forged in therapy can bring about the insight, clarity and love needed to begin to grow and regain hope for your future. My experience is in private practice, residential treatment centers and inpatient psychiatry for over a decade. The patient population that I have the most expertise in are Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar I and II, Borderline Personality, and other Personality Disorders.

My mission is to help others find peace, joy and love in their lives. I bring with me over a decade of experience providing individual and group counseling for all ages. My integrated approach is tailored to the individual using methods in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-focused therapy techniques.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erica Mau. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I don’t ever tell anyone or think I can tell anyone things I go through. But Erica makes me feel safe to talk to. She really helps me.

Erica is honestly one of the best therapist’s I’ve ever had. I had 2 others in the past not with BetterHelp and we didn’t mesh. I feel safe discussing really heavy things with her and feel supported during our sessions. I’ve been seeing Erica for I think 3 years now and between our sessions and my own internal work and self discovery I’ve been better able to process my traumatic experiences better and get to the root of the issue. So I can remind myself how strong and loved worth and capable I am.

Erica has been just amazing from the start. I felt comfortable right away and we’ve built a great relationship in just a short amount of time. I’m very excited to see what other wonders she works.

Erica is great. I only wish we could meet in person. But the convenience of a phone call is good too.
