Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Dr. Erica Holmes, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to move forward with confidence. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and equipped to create lasting change.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. While my work is grounded in a psychodynamic perspective, helping you understand how past experiences, relationships, and patterns influence your present, I also draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to meet you where you are. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I integrate techniques that best support your goals. I strive to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences while also being challenged to develop new perspectives, healthier coping strategies, and meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting, collaborative relationship. I'll take time to understand what brings you to therapy, learn about your personal history, and explore the challenges you're currently facing. Together, we'll identify your goals and discuss what you hope to gain from our work. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer understanding of how we can work together and a plan for moving forward.
