The path to healing lies within.

Hello! I’m Erika, a licensed social worker and psychotherapist passionate about helping adults and couples navigate life’s complexities. I'm here to guide you toward greater understanding and growth.

My journey into psychotherapy began as a client. My first therapist was not only warm and compassionate, but also unafraid to challenge me. Her approach deeply inspired me to always look inward, which ultimately led me to pursue the same path. Now I offer that same balance of support and challenge to others.

My approach is grounded in compassion and empathy, and I offer a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. Whatever you're facing, I can guide you through your healing journey, helping you uncover the root causes of your challenges, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate a deeper understanding as you thrive.

I’m licensed in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and I’m ready to help you take the next step in your journey toward becoming the next version of yourself. Thank you for considering me as your partner in this process. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in reaching your goals.

Erika Kao is a couples therapist in NJ, NY, and PA.
