Sacred Wisdom Counseling PLLC
Erica Daudt, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I specialize in helping people move away from their negative core beliefs with roots in developmental trauma, attachment injuries, and emotional dysregulation. These issues are menacing drivers behind much emotional suffering and common behavioral problems, such as eating disorders; chronic anxiety & depression; relationship instability; and low self-worth, such as feeling flawed and unworthy of acceptance and belonging. I draw upon many therapeutic approaches to assist you in developing a way of approaching yourself (your pain, your needs, your desires, and your experiences) with self-compassion rather than patterns of self-abuse. We will also focus on insights to help you better understand your experiences and then develop the tools to manage and/or heal them.
If this resonates with you I believe you have suffered far too long. I take great pride in seeing my clients find healing from their pain and look forward to working with you!
Erica Daudt is a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and is bound by the ethics of that organization.

Compassion-Based Approach
Expertise That Makes a Difference
Individual Therapy
One-On-One Support
The goal of therapy is to equip you with the tools and insights to help you get unstuck. Unlike well-meaning friends or family, I am able to offer an uncomplicated perspective into your struggle. In an atmosphere where you don't need to meter your thoughts or emotions for fear of judgment or of burdening your loved ones, you are able to honestly process your internal world, which is where I believe lasting healing can take shape.
My approach seeks to challenge areas where you might be contributing to your own suffering and to encourage acceptance of the hard realities that your life is beckoning for you to collaborate with, both of which are needed for a more empowered, peaceful relationship with yourself and others.
Intensive Therapy
When Hourly Appointments Aren't Enough
I am happy to offer blocks to time to help process through difficult stuck points that hourly appointments cannot offer. Please reach out about arrangements.
Clinical Supervision
Excellence in Counselor Development
The goal of clinical supervision is to facilitate a comfortable learning environment for associate-level counselors to wrestle with the complexities of the vocation.
My approach seeks to create space for supporting your skill growth, professional development, theoretical utilization, case conceptualization understanding, and self-awareness as it applies to your work with clients and your goals as a therapist.

Counseling Inquiries
Thank you for taking to time and effort to reach out on your behalf, or on the behalf of a loved one. I greatly value your trust in my work and feel honored that you are considering my services. Unfortunately, I am receiving more inquiries than I am able to return. If you do not hear from me, please know it is simply a matter of availability and not at all because I don't value your need. Your needs do matter so please keep searching until you find the support you deserve.
Please email me at sacredwisdomcounseling@gmail.com and include in your message a brief description of what you're wanting to address in counseling, the times you're available to meet, and the name of your insurance company. If your availability matches an opening that I have I will reach out.
