Hello, I'm Erica Madge, a dedicated therapist located in the Philadelphia area. My practice is grounded in a thoughtful fusion of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a genuine appreciation for the complexities of human emotions. Through empathetic guidance and professional expertise, I create a safe haven for individuals looking to navigate their paths towards personal growth.
I am not just a therapist; I am a partner on your journey to well-being. My personal experiences have taught me the power of resilience, and my journey with disability has shaped my empathetic approach to helping others. I understand the depth of your struggles, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
With a deep commitment to your growth, I integrate a blend of evidence-based therapies into our work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) equips you with practical skills to manage emotions and navigate life's difficulties. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) empowers you to transform negative thought patterns, while Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us explore the intricacies of your inner world.Alongside these approaches, I also weave in a tapestry of different perspectives from philosophy and spiritual practices.
My philosophy centers on collaboration. Together, we create a safe and open space where your voice is valued and heard. Through our partnership, we'll uncover your strengths and insights, leading to lasting change and personal growth.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
