Erica Wilbanks, MS, LPC-S

Are you ready for change? Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Viktor Frankl stated “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves”. I have built most of my work around studying trauma and the effects it has on a human. Trauma defined is an event or circumstance that is beyond a person's ability to cope properly. Many symptoms like anxiety, depression, dissociation, fatigue, and guilt follow trauma. Experience trauma is isolating and I do not believe we were meant to do life alone. I offer to serve as someone who can collaboratively walk through the trauma with you.

I believe in a holistic approach when working with clients. In dealing with trauma, I like to educate my clients on what happens to the brain and the body when they experience a traumatic event. This information alone helps normalize an individual's experience. I use this information as a foundation to build upon and work towards healing.

A client once told me, "I've made peace with death. Now I want to make peace with life and start living". Whether it is trauma, suicide ideation, anxiety, depression, or just life struggles, I would be honored to walk with you through it.
