Erica S Wheeler-Dubin

I am seeking clients who are open to discovering what makes them unique through a creative and imaginative process; Clients whose goals may range from deeper self knowledge, to decreasing experiences with anxiety and depression, to understanding how trauma plays itself out in their relationships, to being able to resource themselves, etc; Clients interested in exploring their strengths as well as their more scary parts. I believe that pain and suffering are normal emotions and healing happens in connection with others; others who can hold and stay with the difficulty and provide curiosity and support. I am trained in Depth Psychology and have a certificate in Trauma Studies, so I consider both the social influences on a person as well as the unconscious aspects of the psyche. I am also a Bay Area native and a twin. My twin identity offers a unique perspective into relationships, identity and intimacy among family members as well as romantic partners. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, the therapist must engage authentically and have humility. I bring an assuredness to my work with clients–a belief that you have the power to heal yourself. I trust the client to be the expert of their own lives and with the combination of both gentle and firm guidance, positive and deep change is possible.
