Erica Alter LCSW is a NYS and CT licensed couples and individual therapist, with private practices in Upper Westchester and in Greenwich Connecticut. She hold an advanced certification in couples therapy from the Training Institute of Mental Health and specializes in working with couples at all stages of conflict and chapters of life. Erica has almost a decade of experience helping couples turn their relationship issues into constructive opportunities rather than destructive dynamics. Through EFT, she works with them to identify patterns, reconstruct attachments, and exchange lasting empathy. She also works with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, career dissatisfaction, sleep disorders, and the transition to parenting.  Through mindfulness-based therapies and CBT, Erica works with individuals and the power of self-compassion to help clients become their own agents of change.

In my private practice I offer psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in which I strive to create a relationship and process in which it is possible to articulate a narrative of your self and your life that can be experienced as resonant and authentic, towards an alleviation of that which ails you. Your personal, historical, and cultural formation is critical in our exploration of who you are and who you strive to become. The state of being anxious or depressed or melancholic is one we will together attempt to understand as a surfacing of a deep and interior self to be understood and integrated.

I specialize in relationships, generalized anxiety, life adjustments and transitions, depression and mood disorders, eating disorders/disordered eating, body image, competitive athletes, work life balance and family dynamics
