Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful with adolescents
Erica Slota worked with three of our children when they were adolescents, guiding them through difficult times with patience, kindness and professionalism. Her ability to build a trust among clients and their families is second to none. Not only did our kids enjoy working with Erica, they looked forward to their conversations with her.

One of the Best Humans I Know
Erica has single-handedly changed my life. She is so kind and compassionate. She is very-openminded and does the most to make you feel comfortable and supported. She has helped me become a better version of myself in the relatively short time I have been seeing her. I feel so much more confident and sure of who I am and feel 100x more capable of handling all the obstacles that enter my life. She 100% is meant to be in this field, and I cannot wait for more people to meet with her.

Highly recommend
Erica has been absolutely amazing with my 12-year-old daughter, helping her navigate through several anxieties . Within just a couple of sessions, my daughters confidence was growing and situations that would normally make her anxious, she was able to work through given Erica’s support end guidance. It’s incredibly comforting to know my daughter has someone she can trust that will help her navigate through situations, providing her with the tools she needs to prosper! These middle school years are tough, but I feel good knowing we have Erica to help us through!

Life Saver
Erica has been wonderful for my 14 year old daughter. She has helped her to build self confidence and access coping strategies. Others have tried, but somehow Erica got through. She really engages my daughter, has been supportive of me and challenges us both when needed. Erica goes above and beyond for us.

I feel so lucky to have found Erica. My daughter was so hesitant to talk to anyone about her anxiety but after the first visit her entire attitude changed. She looks forward to talking to Erica each week. Erica’s communication with me has helped me better understand how I can help my daughter thrive. She goes above & beyond her job requirements. She checks in if she knows something big is happening that week in my daughter’s life. Not only does Erica provide a safe space for my daughter but has been an ali for me as well. I could not recommend her enough!

Erica is an amazing person and therapist. She guided me through a tough chapter in my life and helps me reflect on my thoughts and feelings in a more productive way than I have experienced with other therapists. She is respectful of the pace at which you open up and the way you want each session to progress. She is direct, real, and honest, but also empathetic, understanding, and non-judgemental all at the same time. Highly recommended!!

Erica has a way of understanding you on a deeper level. She uses empathy and compassion to create a safe space and makes you feel at home during your appointment. I’m very grateful to have found a therapist who seems to understand me better than I understand myself.

Erica is an outstanding counselor
Whenever I meet with Erica I always leave feeling at ease and accomplished. Through gentle but honest conversation Erica helps work through your concerns and brings awareness to the bigger picture. Erica is kind hearted and truly cares about each and every one of her clients and is truthfully the best counselor I have found after various failed attempts. No matter the concern, Erica is the one for the job!

Active listener and Empathetic!
I started therapy with Erica due to some anxiety issues I was having over specific changes. She was empathetic, actively listened to my concerns, and validated my feelings. We set clear goals, and I noticed significant progress over time. She was also flexible with scheduling and always respected my boundaries. My mental health has improved greatly, and I’m grateful for her support.

Absolutely Amazing
Telehealth
I would recommend Erica to anyone and everyone who was looking for help. I haven’t been in therapy for more than a month but I already feel such a big difference. She always makes me feel comfortable during our sessions and I know I can be myself and talk about anything that’s on my mind and Erica will listen and truly give me the best guidance. Plus, I love that she goes above and beyond just talking once a week, as I am able to text her any time if I feel myself needing someone to talk to or if I’m not doing okay. She goes above and beyond and I am so thankful for all that’s she’s done for me already. Truly the best therapist out there, don’t hesitate to reach out to her.

Best therapist
Erica Slota is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s very understanding and listens to everything you have to say, and gives very good and clear solutions about how to handle whatever problems you may have. She is also very understanding that things happen and is able to do virtual sessions as well which is really helpful sometimes. I’m really happy with her as my therapist and she has helped me more than anyone has so I’d highly recommend her!
