Erica Washington

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. I have been counseling using Relational Cultural Theory which looks at how your background (culture, family, etc.) effects the way you move through the world. You are the expert on your world, but at times it is hard to focus and find the expertise you have in solving your problems, so as your therapist, I am there to act as a guide to help you find the solution you already have inside you. I am holistic in my practice, so I incorporate both Western psychotherapy practices and Eastern holistic healing such as mindfulness, reiki, and crystal work. I have primarily worked with sexual trauma survivors throughout my career, but also those who have depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and other mood disorders. I identify as a Black woman, part of the LGBTQ+ community, and would love to work with other members of those communities as you process those unique issue. I look forward to working with you and guiding you along your journey to a healthier you.
