Meet Erica Turner, LPC
Hi, I'm Erica.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and the therapist behind Restored Roots Counseling.
I work with adults who feel anxious in their relationships, struggle with self-worth, or find themselves caught in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, reassurance-seeking, and emotional dependence.
My approach combines clinical psychotherapy with a holistic understanding of healing. I believe therapy should give you both insight and practical tools helping you understand why you feel the way you do while also learning how to respond differently.
My goal isn't to teach you how to need people less.
It's to help you develop such a strong relationship with yourself that you no longer have to rely on other people's reactions to tell you who you are or whether you're okay.
Education & Professional Background
I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Virginia.
My professional training includes work in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and relational healing.
In addition to my clinical work, I have spent years helping individuals better understand attachment patterns, relationship dynamics, and the process of cultivating lasting emotional security.
My Philosophy
I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and accepted.
Too often, people come to therapy believing there is something wrong with them.
In reality, many of the behaviors that cause suffering today were once intelligent ways of adapting to difficult experiences.
Rather than judging these patterns, I help clients approach them with curiosity and compassion.
My goal isn't simply symptom reduction.
My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, trust themselves, and create a life that feels grounded in authenticity rather than fear.
