Erica LaPooh, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

     Hi there! I'm so glad you're here! My name is Erica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker excited to take the first steps towards healing with you. As a trauma-focused therapist, I am passionate about guiding individuals on their healing journey. Using a holistic approach that integrates mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and techniques like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients reconnect with themselves and others, build resilience, and move toward lasting transformation. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, heal from past wounds, and find meaning in your unique path. 

     I specialize in working with teens and young adults who have experienced abuse, intimate partner violence, attachment wounds, self-esteem struggles, and trauma. After facing a traumatic experience, feeling safe, trusting others, and managing the emotional aftermath may seem impossible and overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone! 

In my free time I enjoy anything artsy like concerts and art museums, trying my hand at baking, spending time with my family, and traveling somewhere new! I have the most adorable dog the world has ever seen, so make sure to ask me about him and I'll show you some pictures! 

     Life is full of unexpected challenges, some more manageable than others. Finding the bravery to ask for support is the first step! If you're ready to embark on a path of healing and transformation, I am excited to join you in the process with support and encouragement!
