Erica Holtz

Erica Holtz is a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical supervisor who brings 16 years of professional experience to her work with individuals, couples, and families. She holds a master’s degree and completed her graduate studies at La Salle University in 2007, including a year-long internship at a family therapy agency in Philadelphia where she continues to help train therapists and interns.

Erica also completed specialized training in child sexual abuse treatment at Widener University and is an AAMFT Approved Supervisor - a designation that reflects completion of extensive supervisory training to support therapists pursuing marriage and family therapy licensure. In Pennsylvania she maintains her clinical practice and supervisorial role.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded in systems theory, the foundation for couples and family therapy. Systems theory emphasizes how relationships and interaction patterns shape current difficulties, and Erica often brings into treatment the broader network of people affected by a problem when that is helpful. She also uses systemic techniques with individuals and has found this work can produce meaningful progress even when others are not present in sessions.

Erica works with people facing painful emotions, complicated relationship struggles, trauma histories, and feelings of being stuck, confused, or frustrated. She specializes in couples therapy, working with a range of family constellations, supporting individuals with trauma, and assisting families that include a member with autism. Her style is adaptable and empathetic; she frequently uses humor and authenticity to build a real, emotionally safe therapeutic relationship. Having been a therapy client herself, Erica understands the anxiety and vulnerability that can accompany starting treatment.

She aims to foster lasting change and growth with clients through practical, relationship-focused work and thoughtful clinical supervision.
