Erica Thiessen is the Clinical Director at LifeTutors, a clinically informed coaching program for young adults. Our integrative model includes coach teams working with young adults towards personalized goals, holistic wellness, developing personal agency, and navigating developmental territory. Erica maintains a clinical practice as well, working with individuals and families in transition, personal struggle, and the discovery new paths forward. Given the opportunity to untangle the experiences we’ve been through, she is determinedly curious and leans into humor, out-of-the-box thinking, and faith in a client’s inner resources.

Erica is drawn to young adults and individuals orienting around personal growth, trauma recovery, attachment and family dynamics, and relationships struggling within addictive patterns and recovery. The approach is collaborative, including elements of cognitive/emotional/behavioral therapy, with a strong body oriented and systems guided framework.

Ram Dass says “We’re all just walking each other home.” As a fellow human on the path, Erica brings warmth, curiosity and a clinically holistic strength to the healing process. If this feels resonant to your path, please reach out for an initial consultation. I would love the chance to connect.

I believe that gaining perspective through open inquiry allows for movement through difficult patterns by exploring beliefs, perspectives and emotions that block our way. Whether it be individual, family or systems issues, increasing awareness and resilience is an investment in your future self.
