ERICA LEPITO, LCSW
Do you have something going on in your life or within you that needs some attention? Are you searching for someone who can meet you where you are on that journey? As a compassionate, nonjudgmental Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am here to support your personal goals and well-being. It is my intention to create a place where you can express your thoughts, feelings and explore what you need.
"The power of creating a better future is contained in the present moment:Â You create a good future by creating a good present."

ABOUT ME
I began my education at Marywood University, graduating with a Bachelor of Social Work degree in 1998 and a Master of Social Work degree in 2000. I obtained both Social Work and Clinical Social Work Licenses in 2000 and 2009 respectively. I received advanced training in 2003 at the New England Adolescent Research Institute, Inc. Currently, I am pursuing additional training in mindfulness and meditation.
Over the years, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings including: home, school, outpatient, community and residential treatment facilities providing individual, group and family therapy. I have also collaborated, managed and helped implement community and school based behavioral health services through the managed care insurance division.
I encourage an integrated approach to one's overall health and wellness. I am a proponent of exploring and utilizing healthy outlets to augment the benefits of traditional therapy.
ABOUT THERAPY
My therapeutic philosophy combines both strength-based and recovery focused models.  During therapy sessions, I utilize cognitive behavioral and positive psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding and encourage the development of new habits. Exploring behavioral patterns, modifying thoughts and behaviors as well as addressing feelings of sadness, fear and pain can bring about life-altering results.  I encourage the development of one's own self care plan as a means to maintain both emotional and physical health and well-being.
