Offering a tailored-to-you approach to therapy for children, teens, and young adults residing in New York State.

Let’s work together

I specialize in helping clients tackle challenges like processing intense emotions, navigating life's transitions, and enhancing self-awareness and confidence to foster personal growth.

Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself or your child, our collaborative efforts ensure the crafting of a personalized strategy to achieve measurable progress.

I firmly believe that things like change, perfectionism, and anxiety are best faced with support.

A multifaceted method

  • Relationship

    At the heart of my practice is the belief that the client-therapist relationship is foundational. I aim to cultivate a safe and supportive space conducive to building authentic rapport and fostering trust to create a compassionate and collaborative environment.

  • Tangible Tools

    With playfulness at the core, we'll utilize a range of accessible tools such as mindfulness practices, music, interactive activities, games, and more. Our focus extends beyond tangible growth, aiming to empower you through immersive experiences, both within and beyond the therapy setting.

  • Mind + Body Connection

    Recognizing the profound connection between mind and body, my therapeutic approach is grounded in a holistic perspective. I prioritize the client's emotional landscape, physical sensations, and life experiences, all while proceeding at a pace that honors their unique journey.

Meet Erica Zisman

LCSW & Virtual Therapist

My passion for therapy stems from a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of support.

I believe that therapy is an incredible tool that can provide invaluable support in navigating familial conflicts, managing anxiety, honing emotional intelligence, navigating relationships and transitions, and improving focus in various areas of life. 

While clients often find it easy to connect with me, I encourage you to explore different therapy or coaching approaches to find what resonates best with you. Starting this journey is a brave choice, and I'm committed to being by your side, offering support and guidance through it all.

Kind words from clients

  • "When I talked to you with my daughter, our relationship was definitely not ideal. You asked us a few guiding questions that changed my life as a parent. Fast forward to yesterday, my daughter laid in bed with me just to talk, turned to me and said, "I don't know what I would do if I couldn't tell you about my life and everything that happens." After working with you, there was a gradual shift in a positive direction and we have been working on it ever since. We are in a good place and I am so grateful for you. Thank you."

    - Former client

  • "Working with Erica has helped me understand the roots of my anxiety. I am no longer fearful of anxiety and now accept it as another part of my life. She has helped me connect to parts of myself and find confidence in other areas of my life. I am so excited to see what's in store next."

    - Brittney S. (Former client)

  • "Words cannot express how grateful I am that he ended up with you as his therapist. You were the perfect person for him. This progress thus far is due to your calm positive personality. Thank you for bringing us this far."

    - Kristen N. (Former parent of client)

  • "Thank you so much for your help and support over these 4 years. You've helped me get through a lot of dark moments in my life, and it really means a lot to me."

    - Chase L. (Former client)

  • "He said he had a great call with you on Monday, and he was so excited to talk to you. It melted my heart."
