I’m Erica Zadakis, PhD., A LIcensed Marriage & Family Therapist.

I am a trained trauma-informed therapist who works with teens, adults, and premarital couples navigating complex trauma and relationship challenges. My approach integrates EMDR and Brainspotting to support nervous system healing, deeper self-understanding, and more connected relationships.

My therapeutic philosophies are guided by family systems theory and attachment theory. Using these trauma-informed approaches helps me to develop a strong insight to help clients better understand themselves. This is the foundation of the work that I do, especially when working with couples. Having this knowledge enables them to have love and compassion for themselves and their loved ones. I strongly believe that by using a bottom-up approach, it brings things up that are not in our consciousness; which makes it harder for us to intellectualize our pain.
