Psychologist in Kirkland, Washington Erica McArn, Psychologist

Erica McArn helps adults across Washington navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion, insight, and evidence-based psychological care. As a psychologist at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for adults and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Erica creates a calm, supportive space where patients can process difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful emotional healing and personal growth.

A significant focus of Erica’s work is supporting individuals coping with grief and loss, later life transitions, and women’s mental health concerns. She understands that periods of change—such as aging, caregiving responsibilities, postpartum adjustment, relationship shifts, or the loss of a loved one—can deeply affect emotional well-being. Erica works collaboratively with patients to help them process these experiences while rebuilding stability, resilience, and self-understanding. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques, helping patients better understand thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavioral habits that may contribute to distress. Erica supports adults facing PTSD/trauma, depression, anxiety disorders, and midlife transitions, while also offering care for additional mental health concerns. She is known for providing thoughtful, patient-centered therapy that balances clinical expertise with genuine empathy. Erica earned degrees from Saybrook University, Goddard College, and Eastern Oregon University. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2020, she has remained dedicated to helping adults build healthier emotional foundations and navigate life with greater clarity and confidence. Outside of her professional work, Erica enjoys walking, reading, and spending time in nature, activities that help her stay grounded and connected to balance and mindfulness in everyday life.
