Do you drink or drug even when you don't want to? Do you tell yourself you're going to cut down, or you're going to stop? What about the morning after... do you cringe or decide not to think about what you said or did, or do you not remember anything at all? Do you ever secretly wonder if you have a problem? If you answer yes to any of these questions please give me a call.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." Life is often characterized by events, challenges and emotions beyond our control. It can seem overwhelming to even think about swimming after being hit with wave after wave. These billows come in the form of anxiety, depression, family conflict or tragedy, relationship difficulties and traumas of varying intensity. Taking a fresh gulp of air to get afloat is the first step to finding strength and building the skills necessary to ride the waves.

There are many reasons people start using substances and typically one commonality to stop using: the desire to be healthy and find a "new normal". I've seen many lives changed for the better when recovery becomes a part of life's routine. COVID 19 is sending our communities towards a new normal and as a counselor, I’m ready to help people develop a new, drug free normal.

Our problems are very reliable. They keep presenting themselves for our consideration. Your ability to be successful in therapy is closely tied to your willingness to stop and look around, take ownership, and choose a path forward. This requires creativity, effort, and courage. You employ your existing skills and strategies while learning new ones, ultimately moving each day towards living a life of integrity - a life in which your actions match your values. You stop running from problems and instead welcome their return, because these problems help you clarify what is truly important. The problem becomes the solution.

Hi! My name is Ericka Travers and I am a conditionally licensed clinical mental health counselor and licensed alcohol and drug counselor offering individual therapy sessions in person and online.
Trauma can be defined as our emotional and psychological response to a distressing event. It can be difficult to resolve traumatic memories when the event and emotional response validate a negative core belief we hold about ourselves. I am an EMDR trained therapist and I believe strongly in the efficacy of EMDR in resolving trauma and negative core beliefs. I also use existential philosophy to inform my practice, meaning I focus on self-awareness, relationships, personal power, free will, and self-determined choices.

Waitlist for new clients
Life is filled with surprises and challenges. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming. Talking to a professional can help you and those you care about find new options. I have experience working with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, family problems, couples' problems, life transitions, questions of sexual and gender identity, and concerns related to health issues, death, and dying.

I am passionate about working with couples to achieve a more intimate and satisfying relationship. In therapy, I work with each individual to identify issues that are interfering in achieving these and use a strengths-based approach to support clients to develop better ways of relating. I believe that the best way to get to the root of the issue is through being open and direct with clients.

I have experience working with clients as young as toddlers and as old as older teens transitioning into adulthood. Many of the children and teens I've worked with have experienced symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, or other life stressors. Being a child and teen comes with so many transitions and changes that can be very overwhelming and stressful at times. Having someone neutral to talk with, receive additional support from, and work on strategies that can help with can be beneficial. I really enjoy helping children and teens to find what works and is helpful for them.

Now Accepting New Clients - There’s no denying it, sometimes life can be really hard. And in addition to the many things happening outside ourselves, we all tend to get in our own way as well. We all sometimes think, feel, or do things that aren’t consistent with the person we want to be. This is completely normal, but it doesn’t have to be that way, and I’d like to help you make it better.

I understand myself in this role as a fellow traveler along the road who has devoted particular time and attention to learning the skills necessary to hold the kind of space that most effectively evokes the healing, release, and the profound wisdom that we all carry within. I work primarily with Internal Family Systems therapy. I believe this to be a particularly appropriate approach for our times as it is inherently a consent-based practice that moves precisely at the pace we are each ready for, and also creates space for touching the burdens we inherited intergenerationally/ancestrally.
