Bio
Erica L. Wilcox, MS, LPC
Esther has the natural ability to bring warmth and welcome to any room she is in or person she is with. I am honored to know her professionally and personally and strongly feel that the field of trauma recovery would be lacking without her ability to connect the community, educate, and help hurting people heal through her leadership and expertise as a trauma therapist, trainer, and speaker. It is clear that her core values as a human being are aligned with her work and her highly skilled team of therapists at Integrative Psychotherapy. A lifelong learner, she is the person other therapists turn to for answers, guidance, and mentoring. I highly trust any training or educational offering Esther provides and am honored to be in her circle. Esther is profoundly thoughtful, paced, wise, and grounded which allows any client or audience she is connected with to also feel the same. She has dedicated her career to learning from the best of the best, which means if you are taking one of her trainings, listening to an interview, working with her as a client, or consulting with her that you are certain to feel inspired, seen, and lead. She is a leading expert in EMDR, Somatics, and Ego-state/parts work and humbly infuses this in all that she says and does. You are in good hands with Esther and I highly recommend her!
