Hi, I’m Erika Atkinson LCSW. I graduated with my Master's in Social Work from The University of Southern California. Go Trojans!! I am licensed in the states of Georgia and Indiana. I enjoy working with adults (18 yrs and older) who are looking for a positive change in their life.  Whether you're struggling with worry, depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, or high stress, finding hope is a key element in making positive changes. I am passionate about working with clients through a variety of life changes with the goal of improving emotional and social functioning to live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

Advocate, Support, and Empower! As a therapist, I can help you improve your mood and self-esteem, manage stress/anxiety, create healthy boundaries, process trauma, and prioritize self cares. I am trained in EMDR, a model that is widely regarded as one of the best and most effective in the treatment of PTSD, phobias, anxiety, and other psychological conditions. I am also trained in military culture with over 12 years of experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

I am passionate about providing a safe environment of comfort, non judgement, and understanding in order to provide focus on a client led experience. I enjoy helping others reach their goals and to help them move forward from stressful events they have encountered.

Erika is currently accepting new clients for Georgia residents with Anthem, Cigna, Oscar, United/Optum/UMR, in-person (GA) or via Telehealth (GA/IN) for Monday- Friday 9am-4pm appointments.
