Ericka Connor helps individuals and families in Texas navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and emotional balance through thoughtful, evidence-based care. She provides individual, family, and case management services for children, adolescents, teens, and adults, supporting concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. Her approach is grounded in understanding each client’s unique experiences, creating a safe and collaborative space where meaningful progress can take place. Ericka is particularly passionate about supporting clients through experiences that can feel overwhelming or isolating. She works closely with individuals facing life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties, offering practical strategies and compassionate guidance. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, she helps clients build coping skills, improve emotional awareness, and foster healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. She also has experience supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, those involved in adoption or foster care, and individuals on the autism spectrum, among others. Her work is rooted in trauma-informed care, with a strong emphasis on creating an environment where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered. Ericka collaborates with families when appropriate, helping strengthen communication and provide tools that support long-term growth and stability. Outside of her clinical work, Ericka enjoys practicing daily yoga, spending time outdoors on walks, and embracing new travel opportunities whenever possible. These personal passions support her belief in balance, mindfulness, and ongoing self-care.
