Erica is incredibly helpful. She truly gets to know her client and find out what is best for them. She is solution oriented which is what I wanted. I’m very lucky to have been matched with her.

Erica is wonderful! She listens and asks thoughtful questions that I hadn’t thought of or was secretly avoiding. She’s been an essential part of my progress to be better over the last 6 months.

Erica has truly been a godsend to me! I have struggled with and managed anxiety throughout my life. When anxiety started to creep back into my life recently, I was so overwhelmed and discouraged! Erica could not have been a better match for me. She’s extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also so fun and real! This helped me to open up to her, but also helped me to laugh at myself...which I needed more than I even knew! Erica helped me remember the tools I learned in previous years of therapy, and also taught me new tools and strategies. Erica Innocent is changing the world...she certainly changed mine!!
