As a former Division 1 athlete, I understand the unique needs of athletes and top performers. I will work with you in a collaborative and directive way to reach your goals on a timeline based on your season or deadlines. Sports and high performance patients seek treatment for building mental toughness, overcoming fear of failure, coping with injury, managing pressure and other issues. In working with patients from the ages of 3-18, I treat anxiety, depression, trauma, challenging behaviors, relational issues and support LGBTQ+ youth. Based on your child's age, we will establish a collaborative treatment path to evoke change.

My name is Erika Prigo; I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (139621). I believe that all people deserve nothing but the best quality of life that is possible. They should be allowed to complete their tasks every day with full ease and satisfaction. It is quite easy to take all of these tasks for granted, not taking into consideration existential problems that present themselves regardless of age. I use a combination of treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, to find the best fit for you.

When our children's hearts have been broken, our hearts break, too. Parents often struggle with knowing how to care for a hurting child. The child's behaviors can be challenging. A parent's own unhealed wounds get triggered. Then, there's the parenting guilt! It can be overwhelming. We understand and we are here to help.

Looking for a fresh perspective on mental health and support? As a neurodivergent, queer, and disabled therapist, I know what it is like to not see yourself in your therapist. I'm a therapist with ADHD- I'm going to understand the grief you feel when talking about your past and how different it would have been if the world was built with neurodiverse people in mind. I'm a therapist with chronic illness- I'll understand how flares, injustice, and medical trauma effects your brain and your inner world. This world was not made for us in mind, but my counseling space was. Welcome!

Why are you here? What is your purpose? How can you use your life experiences as a foundation to stand on? These are just some of the questions we will examine together in the healing process. Too often, our trauma controls our lives. It dictates how we think, who and what we allow into our lives, and how we treat ourselves. It defines our very significance.
