Erika Owens

Greetings! I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC II) and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I have over thirteen years of experience providing assessment/evaluation, individual and family counseling for individuals with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, anger management, parenting, and chemical abuse/dependency. I try to assist clients with these issues through the use of mindfulness/self-awareness techniques, brainstorming for out of the box options and helping people learn about their inner worlds so they can begin to see how solutions to their problems often lie within them. Through my personal experience and the experience of people I have worked with, I believe that we all have an “inner healer”. Often we have lost touch with that resource and need guidance in reconnecting to our deepest resources. My counseling style is warm and engaging. My approach combines Person Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focus and Mindfulness therapy. Through the therapeutic relationship and skill building approach, people can heal and live fulfilled lives. I feel it’s important to form a close connection with clients, and I am willing to share some of my own personal experiences to enable that. I am passionate about helping my clients create sustainable, meaningful change. I look forward to working with you!
