Welcome! My name is Erica Forte, a licensed mental health counselor, mom to two rambunctious little boys, dog mom to two lovable pups, a wife, daughter, sister, military family member, and a family member to a person in recovery. As a mental health counselor, I approach therapy from a judgement free, unbiased lens; however, I feel it is important that you also know the person behind the counselor.

I believe in building a therapeutic space that is safe, unbiased, person-centered and trauma-informed. I want you to feel accepted and empowered to take control of your own life. We will work together to navigate internal and external struggles; identify and organize thoughts and feelings; develop functional ways to cope with things in life that are outside of your control; identify patterns of behaviors; and learn how to manage things that feel unmanageable. 

I specialize in working with adults who struggle with navigating the perinatal period and adjustment to motherhood; substance use, whether their own or that of a loved one; trauma; adjustment to life stressors; depression; and anxiety. I also have extensive experience working with adults with brain injury; cognitive disabilities; and sensory processing disorders.
