Erica Holtz, LMFT

Erica Holtz, M.A., LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and clinical supervisor who brings a systems-based perspective to clinical work. She holds a Master of Arts degree and the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Erica also completed a Certificate in Child Sexual Abuse Treatment from Widener University and serves as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor - a designation that reflects completion of extensive training to supervise therapists pursuing marriage and family therapy licensure.

After graduating from La Salle University in 2007, Erica completed a year-long internship at a family therapy agency in Philadelphia. She continues to support the next generation of clinicians by assisting in the training of therapists and interns at that agency. Her clinical foundation is grounded in Systems Theory, an approach that examines how relationships and interaction patterns shape problems and sustain them over time. While systems work often includes multiple family members, Erica has also used systemic methods successfully with individual clients.

Her practice focuses on helping individuals, couples, and families who are coping with painful emotions, distressing relationship problems, and life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, confused, or frustrated. Erica specializes in couples therapy and works with diverse family structures as well as individuals with trauma histories. She also has experience supporting families that include a member with autism.

Erica’s therapeutic style is adaptable and empathic; she often brings humor and authenticity into sessions to help the therapeutic relationship develop and to create emotional safety from a real, human place. Having been a therapy client herself, she understands the anxiety and vulnerability that can come with beginning treatment. Her work aims to promote meaningful, lasting change in relationships and individual functioning.
