Empirical Embrace Counseling | Eating Disorder & OCD Treatment

WE SERVE PA, DE, AND NJ

My Approach

I am extensively trained in a variety of evidence-based treatments for OCD, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma. Some of these treatment modalities include Exposure/Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Enhanced for ED's, Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, and general Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and depression. The most important thing to me in the therapy room is my relationship with my client. I approach this with compassion and empathy and most importantly, meeting my clients where they are. Holding the space for my clients to experience life's ups and downs is one of my greatest strengths.

I work with clients aged 16+.

About me

Welcome to Empirical Embrace Counseling! My name is Erica and I am founder and lead therapist. I graduated with my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Immaculata University. I have been practicing since 2020 and obtained my licensure in 2023. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my french bulldog, Beau! I also love to read, travel, and binge watch TV shows! I truly love what I do and I am looking forward to meeting you!

Erica is one of the BEST therapists I've had hands down. She is super down-to-earth, passionate about her work, and supportive in any way she can be. She is there through the highs and lows of being a human. Such a stellar therapist and stellar human being!

Where are you licensed?

I am currently licensed in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.
Do you accept insurance?

At this time, I am an out of network provider, meaning I accept private pay clients only. However, I am able to provide monthly superbills for potential reimbursement. I urge you to check with your insurance company about out of network benefits prior to scheduling your first appointment. It is the responsibility of the client to submit superbills to insurance.

Do you offer telehealth or in person sessions?

I offer both telehealth and in person sessions. I can provide telehealth appointments M-F. My in person spots are limited and only offered on Tuesdays for the time being.
What is your cancellation policy?

We ask for 24 hours notice for any cancellation or rescheduling. Late cancellations and no shows will be charged the full rate and are not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

Payment is collected at the time of service.
What payment forms do you accept?

We accept cash and all major credit/debit cards, and HSA cards. Our electronic health records system safely stores your chosen form of payment and will automatically collect payment following each session. I do not accept personal checks.
