Virtual therapy for individuals, couples, children and families in CT and NY

Dr. Erica Oberhand 

Hi, I'm Dr. Oberhand

I’m a clinical psychologist licensed in New York and Connecticut and specializing in trauma, anxiety, sexual orientation, gender identity, and ADHD.

I hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I trained as a generalist while also obtaining specialized training with youth, families, trauma survivors, and the LGBTQIA+ community. I’ve enjoyed working in outpatient, inpatient, primary care, emergency room, Veterans Affairs, and residential settings in Chicago, Hawaii, New York, and Connecticut. Currently, all of my work is virtual.  

Several aspects of my identity, such as my being a white, neurodivergent, queer, cisgender woman shape my experiences and how you may experience me. My practice is anti-racist, is feminist, and is trauma-informed. I am sex-positive, sex work friendly, and affirming of diverse relationship structures (monogamy, ethical non-monogamy, polyamory).

I’d love to partner with you in enhancing your innate resilience and achieving your therapy goals.
