Erika Malm

Life is worth living when we feel authentic and genuine, and engage in meaningful relationships. The more you live in alignment with your values and unique sense of purpose, the better you will feel.

Sadness, grief, disappointment and hurt are natural emotions. Feeling chronically anxious, fearful, inadequate, depressed, or unlovable are not. These unrelenting feelings come from an injury (or injuries) that hasn’t healed. Regardless of where your emotional injury comes from, you can heal these wounds.

I work from a foundation of attachment theory — with the premise that people thrive emotionally and physically when in healthy, connected relationships. The first of which is with yourself. I’m also informed by interpersonal neurobiology and spirituality in mental health.

In my work with couples, individuals & families, my goal is to help you to connect or reconnect with your sense of meaning in order to carve out a life that is fulfilling. Through our work together, you can develop successful strategies to address daily challenges, and find avenues to thrive instead of merely survive in life.

My trainings include psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Encountered Centered Therapy (ECCT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Self-Hypnosis.

I have practiced Transcendental Meditation (TM) and yoga for over 20 years, and I am a Registered Yoga Teacher. I hold the strong belief that healing the mind can only happen when we tend to the whole body.

Collaborating with other committed providers (including primary medical doctors, acupuncturists, body workers, psychiatrists, dietitians and others), I ensure patients receive the most comprehensive and effective care possible.
