Erica Forte-Purington, LMHC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Hi! I am Erica Forte, a licensed mental health counselor who provides therapy services at our Woburn, MA clinic.

I work with adults and specialize in perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges & the emotional load of motherhood; trauma; and substance use disorders. I also provide neurodivergent-affirming care for adults with ADHD, sensory differences, cognitive disabilities & brain injury. Together, we reduce shame, understand patterns & build strategies that support how your brain works.

My approach is warm, collaborative & trauma-informed. I use strength-based therapy, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, CPT & CBT to help you regulate emotions, manage anxiety & depression, navigate identity shifts, and build sustainable coping skills. Therapy is a space to feel understood, not judged, and leave feeling clearer, grounded, and empowered.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just curious about yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down & make sense of what you’re carrying. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected & understood. If this resonates, I’d be honored to support you-feel free to reach out when you’re ready.
