Ms Erica Wilcox

Licensed Professional Counselor

“Intensive EMDR for trauma recovery, anxiety, panic, PTSD, divorce and empowerment. I am here to help you move beyond the though stuff.”

About Me

When life’s challenges feel overwhelming, I offer a focused path forward. I use intensive EMDR to help you process and move past trauma, anxiety, panic, and PTSD. We can also navigate the complexities of divorce, fostering resilience and empowerment. My aim is to help you find lasting peace. Clients appreciate this direct, supportive approach to transforming difficult experiences.

Approach

Focused, rhythmical sessions let us process stuck memories efficiently while you stay grounded. I move at a steady, collaborative pace—balancing bilateral stimulation with short check-ins, clear psychoeducation, and simple mindfulness tools so you know what’s happening and why. Between sessions I offer targeted practices and reflections to stabilize gains and help old patterns shift without overwhelming you. People who want direct, practical work that fosters resilience and clearer boundaries tend to find this approach helpful.
