Melissa Erickson, LICSW

If life's challenges have become overwhelming, I am here to help you lean in to your innate capacity for healing. As an Internal Family Systems trained practitioner, I will help you foster curiosity for all the parts of who you are in a nonjudgmental, supportive way. I will help you understand your protective mechanisms, release burdens of belief and help you heal old wounds. I strive to maintain an anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming practice, which often begins with acknowledging and creating space to process our shared and differing relationships to power and privilege. I provide trauma informed care to adult individuals, groups, and couples, as well as adolescents on a limited basis. I have experience working with survivors of sexual violence that occurred at any point in the life cycle, as well as human trafficking, attachment trauma, intimate partner violence and other forms of abuse, and couples navigating gender transitions and inter-abled relationships. I also enjoy working with people experiencing life transitions and struggling to maintain a sense of grounding. In my personal time, I enjoy going on long walks with my senior dog (especially in the winter), spending time with loved ones, and watercolor painting. Reach out to schedule a consultation today!
