Developed from lived experience
Rising Minds was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, to provide Canadian online counselling and psychotherapy grounded in warmth, compassion, safety, nervous-system awareness, and evidence-based care.
Years of personal adversity deepened Erica's understanding of suffering and strengthened her conviction in the extraordinary capacity people have to endure, adapt, and rebuild — the seed from which Rising Minds grew.
Resilience is not hardness. It is not the absence of pain, nor the denial of vulnerability. It is the quiet, courageous decision to rise — again and again.
Collaborative, at a pace that feels right for you
Erica works with youth, adults, couples and families across British Columbia and Ontario. Her work is grounded in evidence-informed, trauma-aware and relational practice. Depending on each client’s needs and goals, she draws from a range of therapeutic frameworks and principles — including ACT, CBT, DBT, attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused and narrative approaches — as well as mind-body and somatic perspectives. Her work with couples and families is also informed by Gottman Method principles and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
