PROVIDING A SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR WOMEN TO BE EMPOWERED AND HEAL FROM ANXIETY THROUGH THERAPY
“The mind can’t hear until the body feels safe.”
Erika T. Kendrick, LPC
Montclair, NJ and St. Petersburg, FL Anxiety & Brainspotting Therapist
Hi. I’m Erika T. Kendrick, LPC. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, with 25+ years of experience in the mental health field and 13+ years in private practice, I empower female Millennial Women and Gen-Xers who are struggling with anxiety that’s impacting how they connect and form relationships with other people. These women are motivated but unsure how to regulate their emotions so that they no longer have to live in a constant state of fear and panic. While my practice extends a warm welcome to all, I hold a particular passion for serving Women of Color. My vision for you is for you to embrace your worth, overcome the things that “bother you”, and operate at your full potential.
I enjoy taking a holistic approach to treatment, taking into account both the mind and the body. Nothing can be heard in the mind until it feels safe in the body. Our bodies are so intricately designed that we have the innate ability to self heal. I aim to assist you in tapping into that ability by using not only the mind (thoughts) but your body (emotions) in order to release the fear and anxiety that’s plaguing your life.
