Dr. Karlinsky was very helpful for me. She taught me that my ”toddler” was running my life. When she explained this to me, I thought “no way”. As we worked, I could see it. It was liberating! I learned to leave the ”toddler” in me at home with the ”teenager” to babysit. The “adult” began to run the show, and as a result, everything in my life began to fall into place and make sense. I was finally in the driver’s seat, with maturity, knowledge and understanding about how I got here.

I had several sessions with Dr. Erica during my divorce with a difficult spouse. In the first few appointments, she gave me insightful counseling and explanations of personalities and behaviors that were very helpful in handling the situations that would arise. In each appointment, I also found myself evolving further, as Dr. Erica gave me tools and knowledge about myself. Dr. Erica was very warm, honest, direct and always professional. She helped me find my confidence and strength again, which has paved the way for a much happier life post-divorce. I never really thought therapy would help me personally, but it was one of the best decisions I made by taking a step into her office to talk.

I am a 65-year-old successful executive who has benefited from Erica’s counseling over ten years. She has helped me deal with periods of serious self-doubt and deep depression. I am a stronger, more optimistic person today as a result of her counsel. She has taught me that my self-worth is not tied to my job.
