Hi, I’m Erica ward
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Qualified Supervisor, and Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider. With over 13 years of experience in diverse healthcare settings, I bring a wealth of expertise and a compassionate approach to my practice.
I hold degrees from Florida State University in Clinical Social Work (MSW)and Food and Nutrition Science (BS), as well as a degree in Public Health(MPH) from Columbia Southern University. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and I use a talk therapy approach to connect with my clients. I believe in engaging in direct, meaningful conversations and integrating psychoeducation to empower clients with the knowledge and tools they need.
For me, building a healthy rapport is the foundation of effective therapy. I want each client to feel valued and understood, knowing that they are not alone on their journey. Serenity Space is my vision for a practice that prioritizes genuine connection, ethical care, and lasting support.
A Florida native and proud alum of Florida State, I currently reside in Northwest Florida. I’m a big fan of Hello Kitty, a sober advocate, and a novice vegetable gardener, constantly learning how to bring new life to my garden.
