Erica Gerring

I have been in the field for over 20 years. I worked in a variety of settings in Baltimore City including assisting in starting an ACT team and working with juveniles with sexually offending issues. I have and currently work with active-duty military, as well as working for the Veterans Administration. I started an IOP and PHP program at a hospital in South Carolina and worked to open a dual diagnosis IOP there as well.

I am a board approved supervisor for social workers in both Maryland and South Carolina.

I believe in meeting clients where they are in their journey and asking them how I can help. It is an honor they are allowing me into their life and to share their journey with them and needs to be respected. I believe in using empathy while also holding people accountable and challenging them to make healthier decisions. I have experience in using CBT, DBT and a variety of trauma approaches. I believe clients cannot be seen in a vacuum and there are a variety of factors to take into consideration when treating clients.
