Psychotherapy

Understanding begins with curiosity.

Therapy at The Mentalizing Collaborative is an opportunity to explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences in a supportive, collaborative setting. Rather than beginning with assumptions or predetermined answers, Erica works alongside you to better understand what is happening in your life and how you make sense of it.

Her approach is grounded in Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), which encourages curiosity about our own minds and the minds of others. Together, therapist and patient explore different ways of understanding experiences, particularly during moments of emotional intensity or uncertainty.

A Collaborative Process

Therapy is not about being told what to think or feel. It is about creating space to consider possibilities, recognize patterns, and develop a fuller understanding of ourselves and our relationships.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, emotional difficulties, relationship concerns, or significant life transitions, care is shaped around your experiences, questions, and goals. As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, Erica can also provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management if needed. This allows psychotherapy and psychiatric care to be considered together, with one provider supporting a more comprehensive understanding of each person's needs.
