Feeling stuck? Seeking guidance, coping tools, and goals to create change? I'm Erica, owner of North Star Psychological Services. My mission is to treat each person with compassion, kindness and respect. I know that therapy is not a “one size fits all” process, which is why my treatment style is integrative, eclectic, dynamic, and heavily goal/coaching focused. I work to meet each client where they are in their journey while helping to motivate and encourage positive change and personal growth. I specialize in women's issues, perinatal mental health, young adults (18+), anxiety, life transitions, polyamory, and couples work.

I have training and experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, couples (including non-monogamy), families, children and teens, substance use, mood disorders, co-occurring disorders, grief, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (including infertility and miscarriage) and life transitions.
My goal as a therapist is to help others learn about and understand their issues in a safe and open environment. Seeking out help can be scary and stressful, and my hope is to make people feel comfortable addressing their needs without feeling judged. Therapy is a unique and personal experience, and I provide empathy, active listening, and various interventions to match each person’s needs and goals. I use a mixture of therapeutic techniques to help individuals identify the issues they would like to focus on and to develop goals. I believe goal setting and providing tools to cope are imperative to success in therapy.

In my practice, I believe that therapy should be driven by the individual. I work to empower individuals to create the change they want to see in their lives, promote healing, and acceptance of themselves. I believe the most important indicator of success is a trusting and supportive relationship with the therapist. My role in the therapeutic process is to guide my clients towards their highest potential, while also collaborating with them in every aspect of our work. Because everyone has unique strengths and barriers, my therapy style is open, flexible, and tailored to meet the specific goals of each client.

I am an LPC and i also have my CAADC certification, allowing me to specialize in the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse. I graduated from Oakland University with a bachelors in Psychology and then from Spring Arbor University with a masters degree in Counseling. I don't believe that any one modality of therapy works best for everybody. I believe in getting to know my client, understanding what works and does not work for them, and keeping an open line of communication with what is and isn't helping.

My favorite clients are the ones who are ready to take control of their own lives and they are ready to take their power back. They want to be happy and experience freedom in all areas of their lives and are done making excuses. My clients strive to become better people and live happy and fulfilling lives after breaking the barriers of old belief systems and barriers that were holding them back. By working together, it's possible to reclaim lost fragments of yourself and transform back into wholeness. My clients (individuals and couples) report finding freedom to be who they are, love for themselves, and alignment in purpose.

When speaking with people about finding a therapist, I like to compare the process to finding the right hairdresser or making a new friend: If someone doesn’t match what you’re looking for or help you envision and plan for a healthier or more fulfilling life, then move on to the next one! Therapy is very personal, and I take a person-centered approach. My own experiences as a survivor of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) - as well as firsthand knowledge of and experience in coping with family adjustment issues and addiction in loved ones – provide me the insight needed to have meaningful sessions with my clients.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
