New to Grow
Welcome! I'm Erika Braswell-Wright, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of clinical experience. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where you can feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, I strive to create a space where you can explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion. Through reflection, you can deepen your understanding, gain insight, and develop practical strategies that support your well-being and the goals that matter most to you. My approach is warm, individualized, and grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and insight-oriented therapy.
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and it's natural to have questions or feel uncertain. Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I'll spend time learning about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, your strengths, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We'll move at a pace that feels collaborative and responsive to your needs while beginning to identify goals that are meaningful to you. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, respected, and encouraged.
I approach therapy with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person's unique experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the questions and experiences that are most meaningful to them. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and, when appropriate, share observations that invite reflection and deepen insight. I recognize that meaningful exploration can sometimes bring up difficult emotions, and I strive to support clients at a pace that is responsive to their needs and goals.
I work best with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, work-related challenges, life transitions, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a supportive and collaborative space to better understand themselves, gain insight into their experiences, and develop practical strategies that support their well-being. Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or returning to it, my goal is to meet you where you are and work alongside you in a way that reflects your unique needs and goals.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Together, we'll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. By recognizing unhelpful patterns, we can develop practical strategies that support healthier ways of coping and responding to life's challenges.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely heard, accepted, and understood. My goal is to understand your experiences from your perspective while providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. Together, we'll build a trusting relationship that supports self-understanding, personal growth, and the goals that matter most to you.
Trauma Informed Care
I recognize that traumatic experiences can shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond to stress and everyday life. I approach therapy with sensitivity, collaboration, and respect, working at a pace that feels responsive to your needs.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness can help you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions without immediately judging or reacting to them. Together, we'll practice ways to stay grounded and respond to life's challenges with greater awareness and intention.
Integrative
Because every person's experiences, strengths, and goals are different, I tailor therapy to fit your individual needs. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to provide care that is collaborative, flexible, and responsive to what is most meaningful to you.
