Foundational 
healing 

For people who
feel and
think deeply

Ready to flourish 
in everyday life

Welcome
You belong here.

I’m Erica Smalla, a therapist who works with people who are ready for healing that reaches the foundation, not just the symptoms.

My work is nervous-system-informed, depth-oriented, and relational. That means we slow things down, listen beneath the words, and work with what’s happening in your body, your inner world, and your relationships, not just your thoughts.

Creativity begins to return. Relationships feel less effortful. Life shifts from “trying to do it right” to moving with more flow and self-trust.

This isn’t traditional therapy. It’s a different way of healing, one that meets you where you are and helps you come home to yourself.

"After 21 years of marriage and navigating the pain of an affair, I never imagined we could feel this connected again. Working with Erica brought the life back into our relationship. Even our intimacy feels better than it ever has. Forever grateful!"

"Erica is the best therapist I know, and that’s saying a lot, considering I’ve been a therapist and Reiki practitioner for over 12 years. She has a gift for creating safety, insight, and real transformation."

- Samuel J.

Concord, NC

"For the first time in years, I’m not living under the weight of constant anxiety. I feel lighter, clearer, and more present in my own life. I’m finally sleeping through the night!! waking up with energy, and finding myself enjoying the little things again. Working with Erica hasn’t just been a relief. It’s been life-changing. She makes the hard stuff feel doable, and somehow, even healing feels…comfy with Erica (and yes, sometimes even funny)."
