Ericka Bettge

Ericka Bettge, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome their fears, realize their dreams, and become their most confident selves. I would describe myself as authentic, compassionate, and colorful, and I am here to help you create a safe space to move from where you are today to where you want to be.

My approach

I am here to help you create your most beautiful life and am uniquely equipped to help with training in both therapy and life coaching. I utilize multiple techniques such as CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy and Positive Psychology to assist you with addressing and uprooting problematic parts of your story to help you heal and empower you to begin rewriting a new story for yourself.

My focus

I love working with clients of all types. The primary conditions I treat are anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship issues. Whatever you are going through, I am here to listen, support, and encourage you in the process.

My communication style

I create a warm, inviting, and safe space for my clients so that they feel comfortable opening up and receiving the support they are looking for. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, so I include the client in the creation of a treatment plan and treatment goals. I am here to listen and help to guide, but I am not here to give advice or direction. I believe each client is an expert on themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

What attracted me to being a therapist in a nutshell was that I love helping people. I love the moment when someone is able to have a breakthrough and start to move towards the life that they want to be living.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative process with the client as I believe they are an expert on themselves. I think it is important for them to be invested in identifying what their treatment goals are.
