Erica Thiessen

Erica Thiessen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Supervisor, and Board Certified Coach, with more than 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, and parents in a variety of growth oriented settings. Her practice is anchored in holistic, developmental, and somatic theories, with a trauma informed lens and relationally based approach.

Although native to Northern California, Erica has embraced living in all four corners of the country – and then some.  She had opportunities to enjoy time in nature, adventures with family, athletic competition, and international adventures.  Growing into adulthood with dynamic experiences and mentors offered her insight into the power of strong community, leaning into challenges, and listening to the wise voice within.  These values have only strengthened as she has cultivated her own personal and professional framework in this ever changing world.

The landscape of therapy, coaching and personal growth has blossomed tremendously during the years of Erica’s professional work. Her approach and perspective has been honed by ongoing education into interpersonal neurobiology, experiential and systemic patterns.  Recognizing the deep space of therapy , and the action oriented focus of coaching, Erica is able to support coaching teams with a strong clinical lens.  Her roots remain in relationship, connection, playfulness and care. Erica has called Asheville, NC home for nearly 20 years and when not working is likely to be found spending time with friends and community – often on a hike or at hot yoga. She also enjoys traveling, visiting with family, and dog-sitting for friends.
