Erica Ochsenreither

PHILOSOPHY I am passionate about providing a warm, collaborative, empathetic space with opportunity for embodied healing. I will support you in weaving together thoughts, feelings, sensations, and beliefs in a safe and supportive relationship, deepening your awareness and, at times, challenging you toward your potential. Come as you are, to a soft place to land, where you can feel wholeheartedly human. APPROACH I am an art therapist and counselor. I practice from an integrated model that combines expressive arts, somatic, trauma-informed, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal, and attachment approaches. I draw upon these modalities and theories to craft an individualized and holistic approach. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR.

We carry not only our own lived experiences but also the imprints of collective, historical, and intergenerational trauma. These imprints are often shaped by systems of oppression, including racism, colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia. I am committed to creating a space that honors the complexity of your lived experience, including those who have been marginalized and harmed by these systems and those whose identities have not been affirmed or protected. This includes ongoing reflection on my own privileges, a commitment to forever learning, and a dedication to living and practicing in alignment with anti-oppressive and liberatory values.
