Dr. Erica Shick, PhD, LCPC

We begin with what you want for yourself—what matters most and what feels out of reach. From there, we explore what may be holding you back, including how past experiences shape your present. Step by step, we shift patterns that no longer serve you so you can feel more grounded, confident, and able to move forward with clarity.

Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, and easy to talk to. They appreciate feeling truly heard without pressure to perform or have everything figured out. At the same time, they value that I’m direct and help them move forward—creating a space that feels both supportive and meaningful for real, lasting change.

I specialize in working with high-functioning women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected beneath the surface. Many are used to holding everything together but are ready for something to actually change. They’re looking for a space where they feel understood while also doing deeper work that leads to meaningful, lasting change.

My experience living with dyslexia, along with witnessing a close family member’s recovery from alcohol, shaped my commitment to this work. These experiences deepened my belief in each person’s capacity to adapt, reconnect with themselves, and heal, guiding my approach to supporting meaningful, lasting change.
