Eric Strom

I’m an experienced therapist specializing in Veteran, LEO, and men’s mental health, performance, and trauma. My approach is informed by 12 years of clinical experience, 21 years of military service, and multiple leadership roles.

I work with men, veterans, first responders, and leaders navigating stress, relationships, trauma, and the demands of high performance. My goal is to provide a practical, professional space where you can better understand what’s getting in the way and develop tools to move forward.

The tools I use in treating trauma are one that I have worked on for most of my career. I am trained in Brainspotting and EMDR. Brainspotting is the primary tool that I use in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, and even relational distress. I take a brain - body approach to trauma treatment and will help you understand what is going on in your body and why. Additionally I am skilled in helping men (and women) begin to identify their emotions, put words to what they are feeling, and express it in a healthy way. So many of us were not taught or shown how to express our emotions in healthy ways and this often leads to many relationship struggles. I have not always been a therapist and understand the impacts of these struggles firsthand.

Our first session is meant to be an opportunity to both see if we are a fit, and explore what you are looking for in therapy. Everyone has a different situation and motivation, but in the end we are all looking for grow from the therapeutic experience. We will discuss that in this first session and make a plan for moving forward.
