Eric Norton (he/him)

As a Registered Play Therapist, when working with kids with big emotions I use a child-centered play therapy approach. Sometimes our emotions are so BIG we cannot even talk about them. Play therapy is beneficial for kids of all ages! I inspire healing through the therapeutic powers of play. I employ art, sand tray, and storytelling techniques to help gain emotional regulation, process major events, build coping skills, and foster resilience.

Embracing your LGBTQ journey, as a therapist I help create acceptance through narrative therapy. With attachment therapy, we cultivate a supportive environment, fostering self-love and understanding. Introducing expressive arts, we channel emotions into a vibrant palette, exploring identity and healing. Together, we reshape your narrative, celebrating the unique colors of your authentic self, coloring your world with empowerment and pride.

As a member of the LGBTQ community, I can understand some of the broad ways it is difficult to navigate the world in this identity. But I want to know how it is unique to YOU. The work I often do with people in the community centers around attachment and narrative therapy. LGBTQ people are often told or set up to believe that something about us is unlovable, gross, and must not be talked about. Therapy is a space for us to navigate these narratives and understand how they affect you.

When working with PTSD or CPTSD - I utilize a strengths based approach rooted in dignity and neurology. I have advanced training in Anchor Relational Therapy and am a EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist.

As a Registered Play Therapist, I use play therapy with kids ages 3+. Play therapy helps children work through difficult emotions and experiences in a way that feels safe, natural, and engaging. Using games, storytelling, creative activities, and symbolic play, I help children build coping skills, confidence, emotional understanding, and healthier ways to communicate their needs.

As a EMDR Certified Therapist I use EMDR for kids, teens, and adults! EMDR therapy helps people process distressing memories, overwhelming emotions, and stuck patterns so they no longer feel as intense in daily life. In sessions, I use EMDR in a grounded, collaborative way to support healing from trauma, anxiety, identity wounds, and painful experiences while helping clients build a greater sense of calm, confidence, and internal safety.

Attachment based therapy addresses the impact of developmental trauma, disrupted bonding, insecure attachment patterns, and relational distress. Treatment helps clients improve emotional regulation, interpersonal functioning, self-concept, trust, and the capacity for secure relationships.
