“I’ve been working with Erica for several months, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She creates a warm and non-judgmental space that makes it easy to open up and explore personal challenges. Erica is insightful, attentive, and provides practical tools that have truly helped me in my journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I feel supported, understood, and empowered after each session. If you’re looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist, Erica is an excellent choice.”

“Amazing”

“Down to Earth. She's as much a philosopher as she is a therapist and relates to you through her own struggles and approaches in life. The real deal.”

“Erica has a peaceful, loving, and down-to-earth personality, while remaining a magnet for free-spirited fun that makes her very easy to connect with. She can connect with diverse populations and help people instantly feel at ease. Erica does a particularly excellent job guiding others to deeper levels of self awareness.”

“Erica is a realistic human who has tons of experience in many sectors. I appreciate that I can have a comfortable conversation with someone close to my own age and understands what’s really going on around us and in the world today. She is amazing.”

“I love Erica Gilmore as my therapist. She understands me, & is always willing to listen to everything I have to say or feel. She makes me feel great about myself, & I love her feedbacks. Definitely recommend her as a therapist, she’s the best!”

“Erica is, by far, the most well-informed, realistic, and progressive of therapists. She uses applicable life experiences and her own expansive knowledgebase to guide me in my own personal, professional, social, and spiritual growth. I leave each session feeling like I've learned something knew, and her effortless compassion and connection helps me more than I ever thought weekly therapy could provide. Each week, I look forward to our meetings, as conversation is natural. Erica also makes sure to challenge my own perspectives in ways that help me make find peace with myself and the world around me.”

“Erica keeps changing my life. I thought I knew what I needed from therapy, but instead I was introduced to a world foreign to me. We dove head first and now I am learning to live anew. What I'm gaining is more then a way to cope with ongoing issues. I am gaining something that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Nothing is worth more then looking forward to tomorrow and I look forward to tomorrow!”

“Very understanding and down to earth one of a kind therapists. Grateful to call her my therapist.”

“Erica Gilmore is a wonderful therapist who is very easy to connect with and great to talk to. I’m already using the the tools and strategies she’s recommended for me in my own life in positive ways. I enjoy talking to her a lot. It feels like talking to a friend.”
