About Me

Erica Rhoads is a licensed professional counselor and adjunct faculty at Liberty University, teaching in their graduate Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. She focuses on how understanding and connection can lead to better relationships and better mental health. She completed a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Liberty University in May of 2024. She is passionate about helping individuals with trauma and families with children who have experienced trauma, whether that is a BIG “T” trauma or small “t” trauma. Often trauma that happens over time can change the way a person’s brain functions just as easily as a single event trauma. Erica practices EMDR with trauma-sensitive counseling using a variety of modalities.
