Welcome to My Private Practice

Eloise Erasmus PHD LLC

My Approach

Developing self-awareness, self-compassion and self-empowerment is central to my approach. By developing these inner capacities, they can then ripple out into the world, in how we see and relate to ourselves, others and our planet. I am devoted to promoting social and environmental justice in our world by healing the world from the inside out.

Areas of Speciality

I provide individual psychotherapy and psychological consulting to adults (18+). My areas of specialty include: family of origin work, trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment and eating disorders.

Training

My training in graduate school (M.A. and Ph.D., New School University, New York) and in inpatient, outpatient and day treatment programs, was in psychodynamic/developmental, cognitive behavioral, relational/attachment, humanistic, and family systems therapies, and in mindfulness-based and experiential therapies, including mind-body skills and DBT training.

As a trauma therapist, I am informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR. I am currently completing a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) Intensive Training Course and Intensive Trauma Treatment Course with Bessel Van Der Kolk.

I also practice from a holistic mind-body perspective and am training to be a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP) through theTraining Course: Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals.
