Erica Ploski

My communication style

I value open and honest communication so that we can get to the issues and make the most efficient use of your time, energy, and investment. There's no sense in beating around the bush, right? We can create a safe, warm, welcoming space in which you can be yourself, never judged and appreciated.

My journey to mental healthcare

I really felt called to help others from an early age. I was the person in school who was friends with everyone and dispensed advice as warranted. I came from a family of immigrants who were war refugees and had seen a lot of trauma. I really thought that trauma was normal until I got older and saw how other people lived. We live and learn!

My goals for you

We will identify the goals you want to achieve and create a plan to do so. I really like for clients to understand why they feel the way they feel and then work on utilizing the tools to make changes. We might use CBT, DBT, or other therapeutic modalities to achieve the goals. If you are interested in a specific approach, please let me know.

Our first session

Our first session will be an intake session in which I gather information about you. I can also share information about myself and my experiences to help you feel comfortable. If you selected me as your therapist, I am assuming there is a reason, and I hope you will let me know more about what you want and need from me. I am here for you!

I identify as...
