Erica Barrett

My communication style

My communication style is assertive and direct, balanced with genuine care and empathy. I believe in being clear and honest with my clients while creating a safe, respectful space for open dialogue. This approach helps build trust and encourages meaningful, solution-focused progress in therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after my own experience seeking help, which inspired me to pursue a career in mental health. That journey sparked a deep passion for supporting others who often carry unseen burdens. I'm committed to creating a safe, welcoming space for anyone who wants to be heard, understood, and supported as they navigate their challenges.

My goals for you

I help my clients set meaningful and achievable goals by using the SMART framework. I also incorporate each person's unique character strengths and values into the goal-setting process to ensure their progress is both personally meaningful and sustainable. This approach empowers clients to take intentional steps toward lasting change.

Our first session

During an initial session with me, you can expect a warm, structured conversation focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll conduct a comprehensive assessment to explore your current concerns, personal history, and any relevant symptoms. Together, we'll begin identifying your goals for treatment.

I identify as...

• Female
