About Me
I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (licensed in both Kansas and Missouri), as well as a Registered Play Therapist. I received my master’s degree in Social Work from Newman University in 2013 and my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Religious Studies from The University of Kansas in 2006. I received her play therapy training from KC Play in 2015, and then obtained her Registered Play Therapist credential in 2016.
I provide psychotherapy to families and individuals and specialize in the areas of developmental delays, Autism, grief and loss, attachment and play therapy for ages 0 to 6, and 18 and up. I also have training on utilizing Dungeons and Dragons in therapy to work on treatment goals.
Within my work, I utilize Brainspotting, EMDR®, directive and non-directive play therapy, and AutPlay Therapy®. I also utilize Theraplay® techniques.
Erika Walker Therapy strives to offer clients the utmost quality of care. I work with toddlers, children, adults, elderly, and families through a combination of respect, knowledge, and compassion to promote personal growth and development. Whether a client is struggling with social deficiencies, family relational problems, attention difficulties, or any number of other struggles, it is my goal to guide the client and/or the client’s family through individualized goals to improve their quality of life. There seems to be a point in each of our lives where we need guidance and someone with whom to talk. I have chosen to be that ‘someone’ that will assist my clients on their path to a fulfilling and mentally healthy future.
