Erika Schat, LMSW
About Me.
I believe that the teenage years are a pivotal time for growth, and I am here to support young
people as they navigate their personal and emotional journeys. I specialize in working with
adolescents ages 12-18 years old to help them navigate the unique challenges of adolescence.
I began my career providing school-based case management to students which included
individual goal planning, group social skills lessons, and helping families access communities
resources. I then transitioned to providing school-based individual therapy and crisis
intervention. These experiences have allowed me to build a strong understanding of the broader
social and systemic challenges that adolescents face, while also honing my ability to collaborate
with parents, teachers, and other professionals to create the best support network for each child.
I am passionate about creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where teens
can explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and build resilience. Whether it's managing
anxiety, addressing issues with self-esteem, coping with peer relationships, or handling the
stresses of school, I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them and foster emotional
well-being.
In my role as a therapist, I use a strengths-based approach that draws from a variety of evidence-
based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and
Mindfulness Techniques. I believe that every young person has the potential to grow and thrive,
and my goal is to help them unlock their strengths and overcome obstacles.
If you are looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist to work with your adolescent, I
invite you to reach out for a consultation.
