Erica Gricar, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Welcome to our practice, where we prioritize holistic wellness for the whole person. At our center, we believe in a comprehensive approach that goes beyond simply targeting mental or physical health diagnoses. Instead, we integrate complementary and alternative medicine with a systems approach, providing an integrative mental health modality that aims to awaken wellness within and heal synergistically. Our philosophy revolves around understanding the intricate connection between mind, body and spirit. We recognize that mental and physical health are deeply intertwined, and our approach reflects this understanding. By addressing both mental and physical aspects simultaneously, we can achieve more profound and lasting results for our clients. One of the key elements of our approach is our focus on uncovering the root causes of our clients' ailments. We understand that symptoms often manifest as a result of underlying issues, and our goal is to identify and address these root causes directly. Whether it's childhood trauma, adult life trauma, or other contributing factors, we work closely with our clients to explore and understand the factors that may be impacting their well-being. We also recognize the importance of bridging the gap between eastern and western medicine. While both have their strengths, we believe that integrating the two approaches can offer the most comprehensive and effective care. By combining the best practices from both traditions, we can provide our clients with a more holistic and personalized treatment plan. Central to our approach is our commitment to collaboration. We believe that true healing requires a team effort, and we work closely with our clients and their other healthcare providers to ensure that everyone is on the same page. We believe in empowering our clients to take an active role in their own healing process, and we provide them with the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions about their health. Our ultimate goal is to help our clients live a life free of anxiety, depression, pain, and chronic illness. We believe that true wellness is about more than just the absence of disease—it's about living a life filled with freedom, abundance, self-worth, acceptance, and love. By addressing the root causes of illness and promoting holistic wellness, we help our clients achieve a higher level of well-being and vitality. At our practice, we are committed to breaking the cycle of transgenerational trauma and illness. We understand that many of the issues we face today have their roots in past traumas, and we are dedicated to helping our clients heal from these wounds and move forward with their lives. By addressing the underlying causes of illness and promoting holistic wellness, we believe that we can not only transform the lives of our clients but also contribute to positive change in the world. In summary, our practice offers a comprehensive and integrative approach to mental and physical health. We believe in treating the whole person, rather than just the symptoms, and we are committed to helping our clients achieve true wellness and vitality. By combining the best practices from eastern and western medicine and addressing the root causes of illness, we help our clients live healthier, happier lives. Together, we can break the cycle of transgenerational trauma and illness and create a brighter, healthier future for all.
