Erika Young, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Erika!

I help clients heal and thrive through mindfulness and somatic practices that restore balance to both mind and body. My approach blends breathwork, meditation, and body awareness techniques to release stored tension, reduce stress, and support trauma recovery. Together, we create space for resilience, clarity, and authentic self-connection.

My focus

My ideal clients are adults who feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, or unresolved trauma and want a safe, compassionate space to heal. I support people ready to reconnect with their bodies and emotions through mindfulness and somatic practices, helping them release tension, gain clarity, and build resilience.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and rooted in empathy. I create a safe space by listening deeply, honoring each person's story, and offering compassionate guidance. With the ability to see all sides of a situation, I help clients feel understood while supporting their path toward healing and growth.

My communication style

I focus on being a grounded and attentive presence. I listen deeply, reflect back what I hear, and ask thoughtful questions that create clarity and direction. My style is warm, client-centered, and empathetic, making space for you to feel both heard and supported while we work together toward healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I discovered my passion for supporting women of color, specializing in helping single mothers, career-driven women, and married women navigate stress, trauma, and life transitions. My journey has allowed me to combine experience with purpose, creating a safe space for healing and transformation.

My goals for you

I take a direct, problem-solving approach that helps clients move from insight to action. Together, we focus on building self-awareness, practicing assertive communication, and creating healthy boundaries. This process supports clients in making clear decisions, breaking old patterns, and achieving lasting growth.

Our first session

A first session with me feels more like a conversation than an interview. It's a chance to get to know one another, build rapport, and create safety and trust. I'll gather background information, listen to your story, and identify what you'd like to focus on so we can move forward with clarity.
