Erica L. Picon, LCSW

I'm glad you're here, welcome to my page! I imagine you're looking for a therapist because there are areas of your life you hope to better understand, to grow upon, and to improve. I am here to help! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist offering individual virtual therapy in the states of NY, NJ, and CA; and in-person therapy in the state of NJ. During our sessions, we will work as a team to meet your goals and to achieve the balance you've been looking for. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance as the greatest mechanism for change. During our time together I will hear you, support you, empower you, and challenge you. My approach in each session is tailored to your individual needs, and we will decide collaboratively what works best for you to reach your full potential in growth and self-discovery. Expect me to be curious, empathetic, humorous, and an active listener. I have experience working with individuals with symptoms of anxiety, depression, mania, and those struggling to cope with various life stressors. I have worked with people diagnosed with mood disorders, adjustment disorders, trauma, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders. I draw from multiple modalities, including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Humanistic Approach, Mindfulness Techniques, and Supportive Psychotherapy. I look forward to starting this journey with you, and creating a judgment free, supportive, curious, and explorative environment where your growth can occur. Let's begin!
