At the Parade

You’ve already accomplished so much in your life.

But in the quiet moments, there’s still that whisper inside you...

...there's more...

You’ve tried the newest healing tools.

You’ve built a library of self-help books that you love.

Because deep down,

your heart knows what matters most

is becoming the person

you were always meant to be.

you just haven't known how

The owner and therapist Erica Smalla pictured on the stairs smiling.

For over a decade, I’ve walked beside deep thinkers and tender feelers, people who carry big questions, brave hearts, and the longing to live more whole.

My work isn’t just about talking through insight. It’s about creating real shifts you can feel in your body, your nervous system, your relationships, your creativity, and your spirit.

Because true inner work isn’t only about understanding. It’s about living more freely, more fully, and more rooted in the truth of who you are.

We are all on a sacred journey of becoming the return to the parts of us we’ve hidden, silenced, or yearned to welcome home.

And here’s what I know with my whole heart: when one of us heals, the world changes. Every act of reclaiming wholeness ripples outward, touching our families, our communities, and the wider world with new light.

"After 21 years of marriage and navigating the pain of an affair, I never imagined we could feel this connected again. Working with Erica brought the life back into our relationship. Even our intimacy feels better than it ever has. Forever grateful!"

"Erica is the best therapist I know, and that’s saying a lot, considering I’ve been a therapist and Reiki practitioner for over 12 years. She has a gift for creating safety, insight, and real transformation."

- Samuel J.

Concord, NC

"For the first time in years, I’m not living under the weight of constant anxiety. I feel lighter, clearer, and more present in my own life. I’m finally sleeping through the night!! waking up with energy, and finding myself enjoying the little things again. Working with Erica hasn’t just been a relief. It’s been life-changing. She makes the hard stuff feel doable, and somehow, even healing feels…comfy with Erica (and yes, sometimes even funny)."
