Andrew Carss Erickson

What I love about being a therapist is witnessing the ways in which my clients come to untangle their emotional lives and allow a sense of clarity and confidence to grow within themselves. I focus on helping clients process their thoughts and feelings, so their minds can start to work for them rather than against them. It is common to feel that we must constantly fight against ourselves, be it our depression, anxiety, unhealthy habits, unwanted memories, or the parts of us that sabotage our relationships. Therapy is an opportunity to take a step back, give our minds some space to breathe, and begin to heal instead of fight. To best serve clients, I draw upon humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy. I also utilize EMDR, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and mindfulness meditation to further deepen a client’s processing, particularly when there is emotional trauma from his or her past. I currently reside out of state, so I only offer therapy through either Zoom or telephone. If you are comfortable with the idea of a virtual therapeutic relationship I encourage you to reach out. I personally find that therapy can be just as rich and powerful through this medium as it is in-person, but I’ll want to make sure it feels right to you.
