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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
