Professional statement

Dr. Erickson serves as 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. Her career has spanned inpatient, community mental health, private practice, and college settings, giving her a broad and grounded perspective on the many challenges people face.

At the core of Dr. Erickson's approach is a deep belief that the therapeutic relationship drives meaningful change. She takes time to fully understand each client and tailors her work to their specific needs, exploring areas such as identity development, trauma, anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, self-care, and adjustment to new mental health diagnoses.

Dr. Erickson is committed to recognizing her clients' strengths, offering genuine care, and supporting them as they create the changes they are seeking. She believes that while being human is inherently difficult, emotional and relational wounds can heal. She often shares a quote by Ken Keyes Jr. with her clients: "A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror."

Dr. Erickson sees clients online through WellQor. To get started, fill out the WellQor Get Started form. A WellQor intake coordinator will reach out by text to learn about what you are looking for and ensure you are matched with the best-fit therapist, not just the next available provider. From there, expect a simple process to confirm your fit with Dr. Erickson and get your first session scheduled. Please have your insurance card and member ID ready to help verify coverage quickly.

Message to clients

As your therapist, my goal is to create a supportive and understanding space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. In our work together, you can expect a strong focus on building a trusting and genuine relationship, as I believe this connection is crucial for meaningful change. I am committed to deeply understanding your unique experiences and challenges, whether they relate to identity, trauma, anxiety, family dynamics, or other aspects of your life.

Together, we will identify and address the issues that matter most to you, and work on developing new strategies to help you cope and grow. I value your strengths and will provide compassionate support as we navigate your path toward the changes you seek. Despite the difficulties we all face, I believe that healing and growth are possible through our collaborative efforts.
