Erica Bruckner

Hi! I’m Erica, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with young adults and teens navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and the general overwhelm of being a person.

Maybe you’re overthinking your relationships, second-guessing yourself, struggling to keep up with work or school, or going through something you weren’t prepared for. You don’t need to have it all figured out before coming to therapy. My job is to help you slow things down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and get clearer on what you need and want.

My style is warm, collaborative, curious, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me feels like a conversation, not a clinical interview. We’ll look at what’s happening in your life right now while also getting curious about the experiences, relationships, and patterns that may have shaped how you got here.

I draw from attachment-based, psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and narrative approaches, but I don’t believe therapy should feel like a collection of techniques. We’ll figure out what actually works for you. And while we’ll dive into the hard stuff, there’s plenty of room for humor and fun, too.

Let's be honest: sharing vulnerable parts of your life with someone you've just met can feel really weird and nerve-racking. I understand that, and I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to reach out for support and take that first step.

You can expect me to be genuinely curious about you, ask thoughtful questions, help you notice patterns, and gently challenge you when it might be helpful. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on or how to explain everything perfectly.

Our first session is really about getting to know each other, understanding what’s been going on, and seeing whether I feel like the right fit for you. My hope is that you leave feeling understood, a little clearer, and glad you came!
