Erika Bucci

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York State, I am committed to helping older teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and emotion regulation. My work focuses on a trauma-informed, body-centered approach - meaning we pay attention to how your experiences live in your nervous system, not just your thoughts. I believe in an integrative path to healing, drawing from Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed care to slow down, notice your body's responses, and unpack old patterns at your own pace. I am passionate about making therapy accessible by offering telehealth appointments across New York State, and I accept both insurance and private pay. • Through SimplePractice: I currently accept Univera, straight Medicaid, straight Medicare and private pay (with Highmark/BCBS/Excellus, Fidelis, Molina, Nova, and UnitedHealthcare currently pending). • Through Headway: I currently accept Aetna, Carelon, or Cigna (with Humana Medicare and Aetna Medicare currently pending). Your first session is simply a pressure-free chance for us to get to know each other. We will talk about what you need, how I work, and see if it feels like a good match. You don't have to have it all figured out to begin. Most people leave feeling a little lighter just from being heard.
