“Erica is a gifted and insightful therapist.  I have found her and the IFS approach very meaningful in helping me address life's challenges and develop personally.  Erica is warm, caring, and creates an environment where you can truly share deep feelings and work through significant life challenges.  I consider her a personal angel who I am grateful to have in my life.”

“I worked with Erica for several years around difficult and painful family issues after a divorce. Erica brings warmth and compassion as a therapist. She immediately created a safe and welcoming environment. Together, we explored deep family issues from the past that impacted my present-day life. These were often painful and difficult memories, but Erica gently guided me through, and I have come out the other side stronger and whole.

Erica has the skill and presence to guide one past their own blocks; asking the right question at the right time to elicit tremendous breakthroughs. Her methods are inherently supportive and collaborative, working with you to heal yourself.  I highly recommend Erica for any type of therapeutic work.” 

“I started therapy for support with Lyme disease and co-infections.  Working with Erica, we opened the can of worms of my life. As a result, my world is opening in ways I never could have imagined; I am happier than I have been in a long time, I am working on adjusting generational patterns in my family, I’ve started my own business, and been published in a major business publication, all within the last year. Without the practices I have learned from Erica and her true support, it’s easy for me to say the past year would be significantly different. If you are looking for a therapist, I would urge you to visit with Erica, she meets you where you are, even in a time where you cannot meet yourself (as was my case) and expands your life in ways beyond your imagination.”

“Discovering Self-leadership in our sessions has given me a freedom in my life that I didn’t know was possible.  This has given me access to greater Love, greater connection to others, and a greater trust in God.  I will always look back on this time in therapy with you with awe and gratitude.  Thank-you.”

“I started therapy with Erica, not knowing what to expect and also not knowing too much about the technique of IFS. Erica’s kind, accepting, warm energy made me feel completely at ease to start sharing my experience in a way I have never felt comfortable to do before. She became my warm, reliable, always friendly ally to traverse the unknown depths of my psyche and hidden shadow. We went into the basement of my body and started, one by one, shining a light on all of the things that were being stored there, all of the experiences I had pushed away, tried to forget or hidden in secret, but that were still unconsciously projecting their worn out patterns and defenses onto my life and relationships. 

As a yogi, it made sense to me that these unresolved experiences and traumas were somehow stuck in different part of the body. The technique of IFS worked in a fluid way where I reconnected with the essence of who I am, and then gradually started to feel into where I was holding pain and tension in the body. Once the area of tension had been located it would start to transform. Perhaps what at first would look or feel scary, like a knot, a ball of dark energy, or a black hole, would open up into a weak and vulnerable part of myself, whom at a younger age had gone through some kind of trauma, and was still living in that suffering. Erica’s confidence in my own strength and ability to heal, made it possible for me to go into those places of painful emotions, to learn from the unhealed part, what was their story? what had happened to them? and what beliefs were they holding onto? I was able to be present with those parts and hear and experience what needed to be felt in order to then release that part from the burdens it was carrying and finally heal the wound. 

Having started therapy with Erica feeling broken, confused and at a loss as to how to get out of it, I feel like I have got to know myself more intimately and truthfully than ever before. No longer scared to look into my shadows for fear of what is there, I can embrace all the parts of myself with compassion and love, and feel a sense of inner peace and harmony, and a confidence to live more fully.”

“I feel so much lighter and happier now. Thank you for guiding me in the right path and helping me find the courage in myself to do this.” 

“I found Erica at a time in my life when I was working through various unhealthy relationships and struggling to find my ground. Erica provided a safe and empowering place for me to find my voice. With her gentle and encouraging support, I have slowly built the life I have always wanted and am forever grateful for my time with her.”

"Erica is skillful, warm, and professional. Her confidence in IFS and the therapeutic process is contagious.”

“I sought Erica out because I knew I needed someone who wouldn't just 'let me talk' and I thought art therapy would do that. Years later, I am still working with her. She has always been kind, patient, nonjudgmental – professional but not impersonal. When I resisted one method, she would find another. When I miss an appointment, she schedules a new one. When my body is dominating my well-being, she offers to coordinate with my doctor.

We have worked with art therapy and Internal Family Systems and I have come to trust Erica, trust that she knows me, and trust that she has my best interest at heart. I use IFS in my daily life. It helps me identify what my internal state is so I can interact with the world. It has helped me be accountable for my own well-being. Although I continue to have severe lows, Erica has helped me find ways to survive and accept trauma. I have had several therapists and psychiatrists, and Erica has been my constant in my support system. I value her greatly.” 

“I am SO grateful for your deep faith in me. I am blessed to think of our time together in moments I lack belief in big visions and purpose. Thank-you more than you know.”

“Erica is an outstanding psychotherapist and has been no small blessing in my life. Her compassionate support has opened up many outlets for healing. She is remarkably adaptive and insightful in her work. I am deeply grateful for her dedicated practice and all the ways she has helped me through my healing journey.”

“Throughout our lives there are people who deeply impact our life’s journey. Erica Roush is one of those special people in my own life. Erica became my Clinical Supervisor, first as an intern then as a practicing therapist. She is someone who I am beyond grateful to have learned and grown from, always supporting my professional growth, bringing forth my innate gifts and believing in me when I faced professional challenges. Erica is compassionate, experienced, and passionate about promoting human healing through her work. My hope is to continue growing and learning from such a beautiful person with immense therapeutic expertise!” 

“I received clinical supervision from Erica Roush over the course of several years, as a student, as an intern, as a self-employed art therapist, and finally as a full-time employee at an agency. Her guidance and support were invaluable. She maintained a healthy balance of directive advice and nurturing my confidence and ability to discern how best to proceed based on my own insight. Her approach was strength-based, intuitive and creative; I always felt completely heard and validated while still being guided in a positive way. I found myself almost inevitably using what I had taken away from supervision within the week!

‘Do More of What Makes You Awesome’ was a slogan that hung above Erica’s desk. That has stuck with me over the years. I think that Erica’s style as a Clinical Supervisor encourages just that, both with her guidance and also by her example: to show up for one’s work not only with skill but also with authenticity, is the best gift you can give those in your care.”

"Erica has been gift for me in both my personal and professional growth as therapist. As a supervisor she has a unique way of balancing empathy, challenge, and encouragement. She created an environment for me to discover my own strengths and showed me how to put these strengths into practice.

Erica provided me with positive leadership and guidance. She has been an amazing influence in my professional and personal development."
