Erica Mitchell

• Adults struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, black-and-white thinking, life changes, career changes, and searching for meaning, purpose and legitimate connection in an age of loneliness.
• Young and middle-aged professionals looking to reshape their identities and address historic patterns that are no longer serving them.
• Adults who are struggling to “drink as they pour.”

• I come from a 20-year career as an actuary where data was king; I understand technical mindsets and the nuances of the Corporate world. I also know that the data and technical accuracy won't fix personal or relational challenges. I thrive in helping people discover what they truly need to flourish.
• I focus on here-and-now interactions in sessions as microcosms for how clients relate to the broader world.
• Working from attachment theory, existentialism, and narrative therapy, I help clients rewrite harmful stories and break out of long-established patterns with curiosity and encouragement.

• Counseling Intern.
• Master’s Level Clinical Mental Health Counseling Student, Mercer University. Anticipated graduation August 2027.
• Bachelor of Arts, Emory University, Joint Mathematics and Economics

• You are struggling with loneliness, meaning, and purpose in a hybrid work, post-covid world.
• You are a professional for whom your perfectionism, control, anxiety, and depression no longer are serving you.
• You are going through changes in role, identity, career, and values.
• You feel stuck and want to be met with warmth and empathy, encouraged, all while being nudged toward deep reflection.
• You want a fellow journeyman to help you rewrite your story and see underneath your masks.
• You appreciate a counselor who is LGBTQIA-affirming.

Outside of counseling, Erica is an avid yogi, reader, knitter, swimmer, and occasional gourmet cook. She is blessed to find daily joy with her hubby of 20 years and 2 bonded cats after removing the shackles of perfectionism.
