Erica Sanes,

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Licensed Acupuncturist

Erica offers an integrative approach to mental health that combines evidence-based psychotherapy with somatic practices and depth-oriented exploration. Her work is rooted in the understanding that emotional, psychological, physical, and energetic experiences are deeply interconnected with each influencing how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Drawing from modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic therapy, and Jungian-informed approaches, Erica helps clients build skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness, while also exploring the deeper unconscious patterns that often drive behavior and inner conflict. Her work is further influenced by Chinese medicine and other holistic/esoteric frameworks, supporting a nuanced understanding of how the body holds emotional memory and how healing can occur on multiple levels. Not just cognitively, but somatically and relationally.

Erica’s style is collaborative, trauma-informed, and client-centered. She works with individuals to move beyond symptom management and toward meaningful, lasting change by addressing the root causes of emotional pain, self-limiting beliefs, and nervous system dysregulation. In doing so, she supports clients in reconnecting with their inner strengths, developing practical tools for daily resilience, and cultivating a more authentic, embodied, and integrated sense of self.

Her therapeutic space is grounded in safety, curiosity, and compassion, offering clients the opportunity to foster insight, expand their emotional capacity, and step into a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

Erica's intention in all levels of her work is to show up as actively anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and sex positive practitioner.
