Professional statement
Dr. Erickson is the Clinical Director for WellQor in Massachusetts and Wisconsin. She holds a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology and completed her post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Throughout her career, Dr. Erickson has gained extensive experience working in inpatient, community mental health, private practice, and college settings.
As a therapist, Dr. Erickson prioritizes the relationships she forms with her clients. She believes that relationships are at the heart of therapy and that positive relationships facilitate meaningful change. She is particularly interested in fully understanding her clients to provide the best support possible. Her work often involves exploring issues related to identity development, trauma, adjustment, anxiety, family dysfunction, self-care, and depression, as well as how these factors may intersect with a newly diagnosed mental health issue.
Dr. Erickson is committed to recognizing her clients' strengths, providing genuine care, listening attentively, and supporting them in creating the changes they seek in their lives and relationships. She acknowledges that being human is inherently challenging, but believes that emotional and relational wounds can be healed.
She encourages her clients to remember a quote by Ken Keyes Jr. - “A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.”
