Erika Calcagno, MHC-LP

As a LGBTQIA+ affirming clinician, I'm deeply passionate about understanding how your past shapes your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, believing that your experiences profoundly influence who you are today. Whether you're dealing with life decisions, childhood trauma, chronic disease, chronic pain, invisible disabilities, or medical trauma, I am here to support you. We'll explore how living with a chronic illness or receiving a medical diagnosis affects your daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being, addressing the constant presence of pain or fatigue, frequent medical appointments, grief over your past life, and uncertainty about the future, which can lead to anxiety, stress, and depression. During our sessions, we'll embark on a collaborative journey of self-discovery and wellness where I strive to create a non-judgmental space with empathy, support, and compassion. As a trauma-informed professional, I use an integrative, person-centered approach drawing from acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), attachment and feminist theories, and existentialism, tailoring our work to holistically fit your needs, empowering you and enhancing your well-being.
