Erika Shershun (She/Her)

Approach Description: My approach is compassionate and supportive while at the same time direct. I want to see you get the results you're looking for, even if you don't quite yet know what that is. At the beginning of each session I'll give you space to check in and let me know how you're feeling, next we'll decide what we want to focus on, keeping in mind your overarching goals, and then we'll delve into some deeper healing work together. I draw on somatic psychotherapy, EMDR, neuroscience, energy psychology, self-compassion, mindfulness, and parts work along with the more traditional psychodynamic approach. I'll introduce you to practices and other tools, teach you why they're useful and when to use them. Practice is important because healing doesn't happen in therapy alone, it happens when you apply what you learn in therapy to the rest of your week. It's about embodying new ways of being in connection with yourself, others, and the world around you.
