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.

There is no one-size fits all therapy. I utilized a person centered, strength-based approach to tailor the treatment to what will work best for you. During session one we will explore what brought you here and work together to decide the best approach to treatment to help you make progress and reach your therapy goals. 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; adjustment to life stressors; trauma; depression; and anxiety. I also have extensive experience working with adults with brain injury; cognitive disabilities; and sensory processing disorders.
