Graduate Intern Therapist
ERICKA YORK
When life feels full or fast-paced, therapy can offer a much-needed pause. It’s a chance to reset, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
As a Graduate Intern Therapist, I aim to offer a grounded and compassionate presence where you can feel safe, heard, and supported in exploring what matters most to you.
My approach is warm, gentle, collaborative, and rooted in deep respect for each client’s unique lived experience. I draw from a range of modalities including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens. I also integrate principles of self-compassion throughout my work.
I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating parenting, anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, perfectionism, pre- and postnatal shifts, and career or identity changes. Before pursuing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, I spent over a decade leading teams in the corporate world, working for start-ups and large technology companies. This work shaped my belief in people’s innate capacity to grow when they feel supported, respected, and seen.
In our sessions, you can expect genuine empathy, curiosity, and a steady, nonjudgmental space to explore both your inner world and the path forward. I deeply admire the courage it takes to reach out for support, whether you are beginning therapy for the first time or returning to it. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m honoured to walk alongside you.
A few things about ERICKA…
My own experiences of transition, motherhood, grief, and loss are what ultimately drew me to the counselling field. Originally from Ontario, I moved to Vancouver in 2021, where I now live with my family. I feel most grounded when I’m well rested, reading a good memoir, journaling with a hot cup of coffee, or picking up fresh flowers “just because.” I value humour, vulnerability, and authentic connection in both my personal life and in the therapy room.
