What Erica Can Help With
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy views the mind as a composite of various sub-personalities or "parts," each with its own unique thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Through IFS, individuals explore and understand these inner dynamics, working towards harmony and integration. The goal is to cultivate self-awareness, healing, and transformation by recognizing and addressing the needs of each internal part. By fostering compassion and curiosity towards these parts, clients can achieve greater emotional balance and authenticity in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT aims to identify and challenge negative or irrational thoughts and beliefs that contribute to distressing emotions and maladaptive behaviors. By replacing these patterns with healthier and more adaptive ones, individuals can develop coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage challenges effectively. CBT is known for its structured, goal-oriented nature and has proven effective in treating various mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that emphasizes acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with one's values. ACT encourages individuals to develop psychological flexibility by learning to observe their experiences without judgment and to pursue meaningful goals despite discomfort or uncertainty. Through mindfulness exercises, experiential activities, and cognitive techniques, ACT helps clients cultivate resilience, increase psychological well-being, and live more authentically in accordance with their values.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive treatment approach originally developed to help individuals with borderline personality disorder. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with concepts of mindfulness and acceptance. It focuses on teaching clients skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal relationships, and increase mindfulness. DBT utilizes a dialectical framework, balancing acceptance and change-oriented strategies, to help clients build a life worth living. It is particularly effective for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, self-harm, and difficulties in relationships.
Integrative Therapy Approach
At Turn the Tides Counseling & Consulting, Erica employs an integrative approach that combines elements from various therapeutic models to provide comprehensive support for her clients. In addition to utilizing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework, Erica incorporates specific interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) both during and outside of sessions. This holistic approach ensures that clients receive personalized, and effective treatment tailored to their unique needs, fostering growth and empowerment throughout their therapeutic journey.
Session Fees and Length of Service
Sessions begin on the hour and last 45-50 minutes. At this time, I do not accept insurance, so all sessions are self-pay. Initial evaluations (the first session) will cost $150.00. Subsequent sessions following the initial assessment will cost $120.00. During your evaluation, I will take the time to learn about you and your unique situation and goals for therapy. Once I have enough information, I will work with you to decide the best course of action. The goal is getting you where you need to be for the best possible outcome.
