Compassionate Multi-Modality Therapy
with Dr. Erika Updegrove

We believe in living authentically. When we are clouded by mental health challenges we are living a fake life, one where the mental health difficulties are calling the shots. Dr. Erika Updegrove customizes each treatment to help the client come back to or become who they are meant to be. We utilize many modalities such as: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), psychodynamic, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Reiki Energy Healing and we even integrate principles of Kundalini Yoga. We work collaboratively with you on your healing journey to find the skills and treatments that benefit you the most.
