Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.

Welcome to Somerville Counseling! I’m Erik Gans, a therapist and licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults facing challenges related to trauma, phobias, depression, and anxiety.

Offering Parenting Consultations ONLY (sorry, I am not taking on new, individual clients). For 15 years, I've specialized in working with kids and their families, but I rarely have openings and often have to turn away parents who need help. I know how frustrating it is for parents to find therapists with openings, and with this in mind, I now am offering a series of three consultation sessions for parents to gain further insight into the roots of what their child is experiencing, and how parents can help. While my consultations are not a replacement for therapy, parents have said our meetings are extremely helpful.

Spring 2024 - Accepting New Clients! With life becoming increasingly demanding, it can feel like we are always battling on a new frontier. We do not, however, have to power through it alone!

My therapeutic approach is to create an accepting relationship so sessions can be a comfortable and judgment free zone.

NEW PARENT'S GROUP STARTING NOW: I am starting a parent group that provides a positive alternative, as effective as individual therapy for your child or teen. The group experience will energize you with insight and support so you can restore your child's own natural self-righting capacities. I have been a child and family therapist for 35 years. I offer psychotherapy without the psycho-babble, liberating people of any age to use common sense and their family's love to make the most of life's opportunities.

I'm accepting clients on a limited basis at this time. If you believe that I might be the right fit for you or your loved one, please do not hesitate to inquire within. I will do my best to accommodate. I am comfortable working with a wide range of clients. My clients seek to have a therapeutic experience that is transformative & empowering. I respect my client's right to self-determination and this is always reflected within my therapeutic approach during our sessions. My clients thrive when they feel safe, respected and always walk out of my office feeling confident that what we speak about will remain private.
