Erica Hesch, MSW, LICSWA
Individual Adult Therapist
Erica’s mission is to create a compassionate and direct environment to assist individuals to better understand their personal reactions to life. She aims to aid clients in identifying areas of change and methods to make said changes utilizing a strengths based, solution focused approach.
Work with individuals
Are you in a situation where you feel hopeless and stuck? Or a transition in life that has you overwhelmed? Erica creates a caring environment that promotes knowledge and focuses on discovering the solution best for you.
Work with first responders
Are you a military personnel, law enforcement officer, or a medical professional working on the front lines and looking for someone who understands the challenges you face on a day to day basis, in the field and at home? Erica brings years of experience in aiding clients to improve their personal relationships with friends and family, battle anxiety and depression in and out of the workplace, cope with the demands placed on them by management, and understand and manage their reactions to traumatic stress that is inevitable in these professions.
Work with substance use
Substance use is an ever growing concern in today’s society. Where restrictions are placed on the connections we have and stress is thriving, our abilities to cope and change are being limited. Erica has spent years working with individuals seeking to change their substance dependencies, as well as their ability to process trauma and rework the maladaptive thinking commonly associated with substance use. She creates a direct, honest, empathetic and goal directed experience to help make permanent changes.
How I can help
Erica is passionate about helping her clients in a safe, productive, and often, humorous space. Her years of working in high stress environments with high risk populations bring critical knowledge, understanding and unique approaches to help her clients achieve their goals.
