Erik Lerdal, BCBA, ACT Practitioner

My clients describe me as:

Easygoing and non-judgemental I've been told I'm grounded and relatable while being weird enough to bring out people's true self and relax.

Something to know about my approach is:

I will focus on giving you the tools to improve your current mental health that are most critical while we will tie all needed ACT concepts together and give you plenty of control in your journey to foster future happiness through our sessions.

Together, we will:

Using evidence-based skills taught in no-pressure sessions we will develop psychological flexibility to not only help you solve current problems, but enjoy an enriched life and life in the moment as you please, not as unhelpful thoughts tell you.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are turned off by non-scientific approaches, want action-based therapy, and to see results not just hear about possibilities or be labeled.

I became a therapist because:

I was dissatisfied with non-evidence based explanations of psychology but still was fascinated by the subject, once I read Verbal Behavior I was in.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I do mostly telehealth but if you are local just let me know you'd like to meet in person and I can rent temp office space.

More about me and my practice:

I am committed to providing high-quality ACT therapy of which I feel there is a dearth of. I offer lots of materials such as worksheets and mini-posters for clients as visual aids and just fun things to have like card games that examine you values.
