Grow and Expand Your Clinical Skills

I believe in fostering a collaborative, active learning environment where clinicians can discover their unique strengths and develop practical skills to elevate their practice. As an active clinician myself, I understand the nuances of today's ever-changing therapeutic landscape, allowing me to offer empowering guidance that ignites growth and reignites the joy and fulfillment in your clinical work.

hello, I’m dr. ericka Rutledge.

With over 15 years of experience as a clinician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for nurturing growth in fellow clinicians.

My primary theoretical orientation is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which informs my approach to both therapy and consultation.

As an active practitioner, I stay connected to the ever-evolving landscape of mental health care, allowing me to offer insights that are both timely and practical.

I have extensive experience working with graduate students and licensed clinicians as a clinical supervisor, behavioral health consultant, facilitator, and trainer. This diverse background allows me to offer comprehensive support and guidance across various stages of professional development in the mental health field.

My consultation and supervision style focuses on :

  • Creating a safe, non-judgmental space for learning and exploration

  • Encouraging curiosity and evidence-based practice

  • Promoting continuous learning and skill development

  • Emphasizing experiential learning and practical skill-building

  • Nurturing resilience and self-care in mental health professionals
