Connect with Erika Pieniniemi
My work has been primarily centered around concerns relating to complex trauma, substance use, anxiety, ADHD, and identity concerns. In particular, I have a strong passion for working within the LGBTQIA+ community. As part of my practice, I recognize that our overall health can be impacted by our lived experiences with the broken systems around us, and at times, symptoms can be a direct result from living within these systems. My focus is to help clients gain insight around the impacts that past experiences may have had, address past trauma, recognize one's own strengths, and learn how to navigate through the challenges of life.
My goal is to provide you with trauma informed, person-centered care to help you through whatever brings you to therapy. I am trained a few different modalities including EMDR, CBT, AIR Network and Parts work. Therapy is not "one size fits all" and I will collaborate with you to figure out what suits your needs best.
Whether you are seeking deeper self-awareness, would like someone to sit with you and your emotions, want to stop feeling "stuck" or are wanting to figure out what new skills might be helpful, I will be with you on that journey. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to schedule a free consultation, to see if we would be a good fit for each other!
