Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Seth Erickson,
I am the founder of NorthWork Counseling and a therapist passionate about enacting change. Here at NorthWork, I am strictly focused on helping individuals move forward from the grip of trauma, anxiety, and depression.
My approach and practice is all about genuine connection, personalized strategies, and a big dose of hope. Read on below about me and book a session by clicking the link below.
More About Me
I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, isolation, and trauma. As a clinical social worker, I’ve witnessed how these challenges can drain sleep, cloud focus, strain relationships, and chip away at hope. I hold two graduate degrees—a Master of Social Work and a Master of Human Services Counseling—along with more than ten years of full‑time counseling experience. My approach is calm, straightforward, and evidence‑based, blending CBT, Stengths-Based, and trauma‑informed strategies so you feel both reassured and empowered. If sleepless worry loops, lingering trauma, or constant over‑commitment are running your life, I’m here to help you break those patterns. Together we’ll pinpoint the root causes, set clear goals, and practice tools you can start using right away—moving you beyond crisis management and into a life marked by genuine confidence, healthier relationships, and sustainable peace of mind.

How We Work
Your Therapy Process
01. We Work Together
In our first session, you will do an intake assessment, figure out how you and your therapist can best collaborate, and set meaningful goals for you to accomplish.
02. The Journey
Each therapy session follows a similar path but the journey is always directed towards your specific needs and goals that you have set.
03. Living Life
As you and your therapist work through your plan, the goal will be that you are able to begin living the life you have envisioned for yourself.
Whether you have been in therapy before, or this is your first time reaching out for help, our therapists are here to do their best to provide you with expert mental health knowledge. But most of all, we want to walk alongside you and help you achieve the goals you have with a compassionate and tailored approach.
