Erica Lamoureux, LCSW
The brain, like the body, has a way of healing itself when provided the environment it needs to do so. I offer a calm and nurturing space for us to develop curiosity and capacity for change together. Much of my work is grounded in compassion and self-observation as a tool for both understanding and change. Whether you are looking for a specific change within yourself or seeking understanding in a broader sense, I will provide a warm and empathic environment to explore these issues. My style balances serious reflection with moments for humor and connection.
I use an integrative approach stemming from CBT, psychodynamic, compassion-focused, and mindfulness-based techniques. I am also trained in EMDR with an emphasis on attachment and trauma to treat a variety of symptoms. I have specialized experience working with the LGBTQIA population, nontraditional relationships, trauma, and shame.
Striking a balance between listening and participating can be an important art in psychotherapy. My main priority is to understand you, and, hopefully, get you in a way most others cannot.
In the past, I have worked in multiple settings from community mental health centers to hospitals with diverse client populations ranging from birth to older age. At this time, I work exclusively with adults. Most clients come to me experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, rumination, and more, looking to better understand themselves.
