Erika Young, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Erika!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in burnout, trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. My approach combines mindfulness, somatic therapy, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to help clients heal, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves beyond survival mode.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and relationship stress. I’m especially passionate about supporting women and high-functioning individuals stuck in survival mode who are seeking emotional balance, healthier boundaries, coping skills, self-awareness, healing, and lasting growth.

My approach

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and client-centered, integrating Somatic Therapy, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I help clients regulate the nervous system, improve emotional awareness, build healthier coping skills, and move beyond survival mode toward healing and balance.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and grounded. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves. Sessions with me often feel calming, reflective, and empowering while also encouraging accountability, emotional awareness, and meaningful personal growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist through my own journey of healing, self-awareness, and understanding how deeply unresolved experiences impact the mind and body. I’m driven by a passion for helping others move beyond survival mode, reconnect with themselves, and create healthier, more intentional lives through healing and emotional growth.

My goals for you

Goal setting is approached collaboratively, helping clients create SMART goals that are realistic, meaningful, and aligned with areas they would like to heal and grow. Throughout the therapeutic process, we regularly check in on progress, barriers, emotional growth, and adjustments needed along the way.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, build rapport, and explore what brings you to counseling. We’ll discuss your current concerns, goals, and the changes you’d like to see in your life. I aim to create a supportive, conversation-like environment that feels comfortable, safe, and non-interrogative.
