Therapy
for big feelers
Virtual therapy for kids, teens, and young adults across New York who feel deeply — navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and big emotions with steady, real support.
A grounded, steady approach for big feelers and the people who love them — focused on emotional regulation, self-trust, and real-life coping tools.
Let’s work together
Your child or teen might be thoughtful, sensitive, and capable, and still struggling more than they let on.
Or maybe you’re a young adult who looks “fine” but feels constantly overwhelmed inside.
The common thread? Caring deeply and carrying a lot.
You might see this show up as:
anxious kids who can’t turn their thoughts off
deeply empathetic kids who absorb everyone else’s emotions
“moody” teens who feel everything intensely
perfectionist students who tie their worth to performance
socially exhausted college students trying to keep it together
burned out high-achievers who don’t know how to slow down
young adults who have always felt “too much”
In therapy, we slow things to make sense of what’s happening and develop real self-compassion.
Together, we build coping skills, emotional regulation, and the kind of self-trust that helps anxiety feel more manageable and life’s transitions feel less overwhelming.
What you can expect
-
Connection
At the heart of my work is a strong, collaborative relationship. Therapy works best when young people feel safe enough to be honest and understood without being judged, as they navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and life’s transitions.
-
Tangible Tools
Therapy is engaging and practical. We use accessible tools like mindfulness practices, music, interactive activities, and games to make therapy engaging and practical. The focus extends beyond the therapy room, equipping young people with tools they can actually use in everyday life.
-
Support
Big feelers often carry a lot like expectations, overthinking, and self-criticism. Therapy offers space to slow that down, face challenges directly, and move through transitions without everything feeling so heavy. I get it, and I’m here to help you carry it differently, with more clarity and less self-criticism.
Meet Erica
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I work with big feelers because, truthfully, I am one.
Having deep empathy and high standards can be a gift, but they can also feel heavy. I understand firsthand how anxiety, pressure, and perfectionism can quietly build, especially for kids, teens, and young adults who care deeply and expect a lot from themselves.
That understanding shapes the way I show up in this work. I don’t rush the process or add more pressure. I don’t see sensitivity or ambition as problems to fix. I help young people slow down, understand what’s driving their anxiety and perfectionism, and build tools that support them in real life — not just in session.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy across New York, I bring clinical expertise and grounded support to big feelers navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and life transitions.
