I was so impressed and happy while working with Aika Erlandson. She has the ability to create a space where you feel warm, welcomed, and understood. Throughout sessions she remains both present and nonjudgemental. She is also very knowledgeable on a variety of mental health issues, and can really help you connect to your emotions and your authentic self. I highly recommend Aika for your therapeutic journey!
Aika Erlandson sees clients at this location. If you are looking for a therapist who is dedicated, patient, accepting, who can understand your situation and help you feel better being you, she is the one. I had the privilege to sit with her and she is so present and such a good listener, that time will just fly fast. I highly recommend Aika if you are looking for a naturally gifted therapist.
