Erica Thiessen is the Clinical Director at LifeTutors, a clinically informed coaching program. Our coaching teams offer in person support for young adults striving towards personalized goals, whole Self wellness, developing individual agency, and navigating developmental territory. Additionally, Erica maintains a clinical practice, working with individuals and families in transition, personal struggle, and the discovery new paths forward. Given the opportunity to untangle the experiences we’ve been through, she is determinedly curious and leans into humor, out-of-the-box thinking, and faith in a client’s inner resources.

Erica is drawn to young adults and individuals orienting around personal growth, trauma recovery, attachment and family dynamics, as well as relationships struggling within addictive patterns and recovery. The approach is collaborative, including elements of cognitive/ emotional/ behavioral therapy, with a strong body oriented and systems guided framework.

I believe that gaining perspective through open inquiry allows for movement through difficult patterns by exploring beliefs, perspectives and emotions that block our way. Whether it be individual, family or systems issues, increasing awareness and resilience is an investment in your future self. Treatment planning is individualized, and anchors in personal strengths and community resources.
