Erika Ober

While I love working with women in their 20’s and 30’s, I am also VERY passionate about working with adolescents and their families! This is such a crucial time in our brain’s development, and my goal in therapy is to assist my client’s and their parents in learning how to manage the complexities of this dynamic period of life. Teenage years are a time of rapid growth and desire for autonomy. This can be very disruptive to the family system without the proper tools to manage the overwhelming emotions that adolescence is infamously known for, and unfortuantely some teens turn to unhelpful coping tools to avoid discomfort and stress. Through my training in Psychodynamic theory, Family Systems, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I am able to support my clients in developing increased awareness of how the relationships in their lives have shaped their personality, self-esteem/self-worth, and their sense of safety in the world. I work collaboratively with my clients to move them closer to their therapeutic goals by offering mindfulness techniques, increased connection with the body, enhanced ability to regulate overwhelming emotions during times of stress, and a variety of coping tools that will enrich their lives and increase their confidence as they move forward into adulthood.
