Erika Mitchell Therapy

I’ve always been someone who notices patterns; how people relate, how emotions move through the body, and how our early experiences shape the way we connect with others. Growing up, I often felt like an observer and something of a black sheep in my own family, which sparked an early curiosity about relationships, belonging, and what helps people feel truly understood.

My academic path began at New College of Florida, where I studied Biological Psychology and researched the mind–body connection and psychoneuroimmunology— how our emotional lives, nervous systems, and physical health interact. That interest led me into a decades worth of work as a massage therapist and craniosacral therapist, where I learned firsthand that healing often happens not only through insight, but in the body through learning how to feel, regulate, and stay present with ourselves in moments of distress.

I later earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where my training focused on trauma-informed care as well as spiritual and depth-oriented psychology.

Today my work integrates relational and psychodynamic therapy with somatic approaches, helping individuals and couples slow down, understand their patterns, and reconnect with their emotional lives. My goal is to offer a thoughtful, grounded space where clients can develop greater steadiness within themselves and deeper connection in their relationships.
