GET TO KNOW ERIKA

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela

Erika Hill, LPC

Therapist

Hello! I’m Erika Hill, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I help self-motivated young women “have it all” while managing the ups and downs of life. To “have it all” means something different for everyone. I help women redefine and create their own definition of “having it all” and set and achieve realistic goals.

 

As You Are, Is Enough

 

Too often we allow society to dictate our careers, marriage, and family. There is pressure to be the ideal candidate for employers and the ideal mate for a spouse. We try so hard to be an idealistic version of ourselves, yet somehow, we are left feeling dissatisfied or as if something is missing. We then point out and focus on every void in our lives (i.e. romantic relationship, dream job, great friends, etc.) and overlook what is good in our lives. I help women build confidence to create their own set of standards for their lives without guilt and shame. We work to dispel beliefs about who you should be and create a narrative of acceptance for who you are presently and who you are becoming.

 

 

My Therapeutic Approach

 

I believe that everyone is capable of having a meaningful and fulfilling life. It is absolutely possible to have it all. “Having it all” is defined by the individual not society. I create a safe and nonjudgmental environment while working alongside my clients to assist with identifying what “having it all” means to them. The treatment modalities that I commonly use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

 

 

Professional Experience

 

I have six years of experience in the mental health field. My career in mental health began in the justice system with adults. Throughout my career, I have worked in community, inpatient, and non-profit settings providing mental health treatment to children, young adults, and adults.

Please Don’t Stop the Music! Music is my therapy and concerts are my escape from the world. And I love music sooo much that I named my fur-baby Lauryn Hill.
