About Erica

Erica White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience. Erica believes that although an individual may be affected by life challenges, those experiences need not serve as a barrier to growth. She believes in the power of therapy and faith toward helping clients nurture their strengths, accept themselves, and heal from and ultimately use life challenges as catalysts for growth. Erica owns and is a therapist at IMPACCTT (Innovative Mentoring Passionate Advocacy and Creative Community-Based Treatment Techniques), treating children, teens, and adults with abuse, neglect, grief, and/or loss histories.

Erica earned her Master’s in Social Work at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. She heavily utilizes therapeutic tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and psychoeducation. Erica has a great deal of experience with providing client-centered, nonjudgmental, empowerment-based, and educational support.

Erica believes that it takes a great deal of hope, faith, and courage to reach out for support. She understands that this process may be difficult for you. You have done the important first step of reaching out for help and together, you will move toward growth at a pace that you feel comfortable with. Erica looks forward to working with you!

"I understand what overcoming is...I had to overcome childhood trauma. I've been there. Healing from trauma is not easy, but you're worth the time and the effort. You have this one life, and it's important that you are able to show up for it in a way that you can feel good about, be at peace about, and be proud of."
