About Erika
I am Erika Judkins, a LPC-Supervisor in Texas with 13 years experience as a therapist after receiving my Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Commerce. My areas of expertise are working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, codependency, life transitions, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, trauma, abuse, toxic relationships and loss.
I use a strengths based, collaborative approach that is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Although life can be difficult, I believe that everyone has innate strengths that can be built upon and utilized to help through the things that we face in life. I can teach skills and provide tools to help you become the best version of you.

I have worked out several issues related to family, parenting, work-life balance, my own personal growth, navigating communication issues in marriage, and more. Erika truly cares for her patients and listens. She listens and gives the best advise she has and guides you on how to implement it. As long as you as the patient stay committed and do the hard work, things get much better with her guidance. It takes time, and it is so worth it.

She is kind, knowledgeable, vyer professional, and truly engages with you to not only guide you but to deeply connect with you to face and move through challenges. I have been in therapy with her for sometime now and have had the gift to work many of my struggles related to childhood, marriage, parenting and more.

- “Working with Erika for over a year has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. When I first came to her, I was carrying pain, fear, and confusion that felt impossible to untangle. Through our sessions, Erika has helped me not only process and release so much of that emotional weight, but also rediscover my inner strength, voice, and sense of self.<br /> <br /> Her empathy, patience, and wisdom have been a constant source of support. Erika creates a space where I feel safe to be vulnerable, explore difficult emotions, and confront my past without shame. She listens without judgment and guides without pressure. I’ve learned tools that have helped me manage my anxiety, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild self-trust.<br /> <br /> The progress I’ve made in this past year with her is remarkable. I am no longer stuck in the same patterns that once held me back. I feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to the life I want to create. Erika has been a key part of that journey, and I will always be grateful for her dedication and care.”
