Hello, I'm Dr. Erica Featherson, and I'm here to support you on your journey to mental wellness. With a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and as a Licensed Psychologist in both DC and Maryland, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our sessions. My approach is integrative and systems-oriented, meaning I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs, whether you're an individual, part of a family, or in a group setting.
I specialize in working with trauma, depression, and anxiety, but my expertise extends to a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, PTSD, relationship problems, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, self-harm, bullying, grief, divorce, separation, ODD, RAD, conduct disorders, anger management, adjustment and developmental disorders, phase of life problems, learning, and medical disabilities. I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages, families, and groups, helping them navigate their challenges and find their path to healing.
In our work together, I utilize several therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Trauma-Focused (CBT-TF), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Developmental Individual Differences Relationship Therapy (DIR), and Solution-Focused and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). When working with children, I also provide consultation, guidance, and psychoeducation to parents and schools to ensure a comprehensive support system.
My goal is to meet you where you are and provide you with the tools and support you need to achieve your goals. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, and I am committed to helping you get to where you want to be. Whether you're dealing with stress, trauma, multicultural and diversity issues, family relationships, grief, life transitions, medical issues, military and veteran support, intimate and romantic relationships, or any other challenges, I am here to help.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about fostering a sense of community and understanding. I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey to mental wellness. Let's take the first step together.
