Erica Crawford, LCSW — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Erica!

Erica Crawford is a licensed clinical social worker with over 17 years of experience. In addition to therapy, Erica also works in the medical field, providing therapeutic support to patients and caregivers in all stages of life. Erica's experience ranges from LGBTQ+ clients to trauma to grief/loss and beyond.

My focus

Struggling with anxiety, stress, major life changes, or loss? I work with adults in all phases of life to join them on their journey when there are, unforeseen or sometimes very clearly visible, bumps in the road and they are hoping to get back on track. Working together, let's build coping skills for life's challenges you're struggling with.

My approach

Clients have given me feedback that I am calm, a great listener, empathetic, nonjudgmental, and I give clients a space to feel safe communicating their concerns. My biggest goal is to meet my clients where they're at and help them learn the tools they need to get where they want to be in their lives.

My communication style

I prioritize client-centered, open communication, free from judgement and meet clients where they're at. I focus on reflective, empathetic listening while allowing clients to reflect on their own lived experiences. I strive to be a calm, steady presence in whatever storm of life my clients are facing.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started when I was a teen and was the friend everyone came to with their concerns. As I stared my college journey, I leaned towards a career in social work because it afforded me the ability to interact with the most diverse environments and populations. I find I utilize my therapeutic skills across all settings.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a collaborative partnership. I will assist clients in setting the goals that are most important to them- whether that's overcoming life changes/loss, working through trauma, or managing daily struggles. As new insights are gained, the plan for therapy can grow and adapt to meet the change and get where you ultimately want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and for you to begin to tell me about the reasons that led you to seek therapy. It's completely normal to feel some nerves, even if you've been in therapy before. My goal is to be a safe space for you to share openly and build trust as we start this journey together.
