I've been in counseling with Mrs. Rooks for some years and simply put she is the best at what she does. She is easy to talk to, skilled, professional, and beyond that she is truly gifted by God to Counsel others. She has walked through many big transitions with me and has truly helped me process and reach goals I never thought I could reach. I recommend Mrs. Rooks to literally everyone and she is a great tool and resource and will help you on the path of healing.
It’s hard for men to be honest and open especially with women but Erica Rooks creates a judgement free zone for men to feel vulnerable and safe. She not only understands women but she also understands men and that is a rarity. I recommend her services to anyone, especially men who need help.
Erica Rooks has a heart for people, and wants to see them conquer life. I have been a client of hers for several months now, and I appreciate her style of counseling. She's able to hear your issues of life, and ask thought provoking questions that help for reflection and transformation. If you want to do the soul work necessary for your life, I would recommend you try out her services. In addition to her services, she's also an amazing panelist & speaker. I have seen her give beneficial advice to my colleagues in spaces that deal with relational challenges and beyond. Her expertise that she gives in dealing with life matters helps in mending the heart, stabilizing the mind, and healing the soul. She's a force to be reckoned with, and she is ready to assist you in exploring and dissecting the person you see in the mirror for your benefit.
Erica has been a guide in one of the most pivotal transitions in my life. Every session brings moments of revelation that give me support in navigating this season of my life. Her fresh perspective and knowledge about relationships has been life saving. Not only have I benefited from these sessions personally but my marriage is better because of them. I am excited about the journey ahead and I am grateful for having Erica Rooks in my corner.
Working with Erica was very timely and necessary for a single Christian woman like myself. I didn’t have a ton of dating experiences so I sought out counseling from Erica as soon as I started dating someone. Erica helped me unlearn unrealistic relationship expectations that stemmed from religious ideologies and cultural norms. She helped me get to the bottom of my “whys” concerning marriage. We also tackled my fears of marriage and dating! Her counseling was VERY practical yet filled with wisdom. Be prepared to be challenged but also leave with new perspectives while working with Erica.
What makes Erica so remarkable is her wisdom and authenticity. Her distinct coaching style has equipped me with important tools that have led to more courage, more understanding of myself and others, and more connected relationships. Erica’s warm personality fosters a judgment free environment that makes it so easy for me to open up to her. She knows more about me than almost anyone so it feels like I'm talking to a dear friend. The ease in our communication means Erica gets to the heart of my issues and helps me to recognize my blind spots and reframe my negative thoughts and patterns. My experience with Erica has been nothing short of transformative. She has an innate gift for this work and I’m so grateful for her wisdom!
Erica Rooks is a one of a kind. She is truly a gem in this field. She has helped me see things in a different perspective. The sessions always challenge me to be a better version of myself. Érica helps to bring clarity and organization to my hot mess of a thought process. There aren’t enough words to say how grateful I am for her work. She is worth every penny and more. You won’t regret it. It’s the best investment. You are investing in yourself.
Mrs.Rooks has helped me identify my triggers and healthy ways to deal with them. She has brought me clarity about things I’ve never seen within myself. I end every session feeling excited and inspired to take on my healing journey. I will be forever grateful.
I've been working with Erica for the last several months, after a friend recommended her to me. Working with Erica has been beneficial since my first session. My expectations were that the first session would be introductory in nature, however, Erica gently and intentionally pushed me, and I opened up about deep things that I had not shared with others. While uncomfortable, there was liberation in sharing this with her. I am appreciative of Erica being a part of my journey to strength, health, wellness and wholeness. She is discerning and I value her gift of gently and intentionally pushing me to be the real and best me!
My sessions with Erica have been some of the most life altering experiences I’ve yet to face, she’s managed to open my eyes and bring great levels of awareness to parts of my life. I had no idea I was hurting in the ways that were exposed in my sessions. Erica helped to guide me in growth and development and helped to fortify my character. I would recommend her to ANYONE simply because she’s a safe place and also she has so much language and perspective for what anyone may be experiencing. She gives straightforward helpful counsel and wisdom, stitched with compassion that challenges and stretches you.
I have greatly enjoyed my time so far with Ms. Rooks. She is very attentive and engaging and gives me things to think about throughout the week. I look forward to our sessions. I like having a conversation, not just one-sided talking. She remembers things I spoke about in previous sessions that I didn’t remember saying. Our sessions have improved every aspect of my life from family, personal to business. I am grateful for her.
In 2020, we all felt the unforeseen blow that the world was dealt with the pandemic and we still had to deal with our personal struggles. I was hit with blow after blow after blow last year and they just kept coming with no breather. The pain of learning the truth about relationships both romantic and paternal and still having to deal with maintaining sanity at the same time, was torment that I would not wish on anyone. I learned what I endured was the internal torment that pushes a lot of people to insanity, mental instability and even suicidal thoughts or suicide. I can say without question, or hesitation that having Erica as my counselor has kept me from all aforementioned. I consistently tell others that “counseling helps you to navigate through your thoughts and bring clarity to what you need to do”. She is a spiritual woman with a level of understanding of human psychology. Her approach to counseling is unorthodox, not typical and extremely effective. My life exemplifies her effectiveness. When I look at where I was one year ago, to date, I am in complete awe. Everything around me, including me, is not the same. I have recommended many to her and will continue to do so. I strongly believe everyone should get her counseling whether you are a Believer in Christ or not allow her to introduce you to your authentic self…
Erica is the absolute BEST! I have grown in every area, and in every relationship. The tools and wisdom she shares are unmatched. She really takes the time to know and walk alongside her clients. I don’t feel like I’m having to transform into a whole new person; she honors who I am and calls me higher. I have not only become more confident in communicating my needs and wants in dating relationships, she has also helped me with family, friends and professional relationships! Erica also makes it so easy to bring absolutely anything and everything I need to work or talk through in my sessions. Can't say enough good things about her and her coaching style! So incredibly thankful for healthcare professionals like her!
Erica Rooks has been an amazing coach and wise counsel for my husband and I. What we received virtually in our meetings was more quality then we’ve ever had in person with previous counsel. She knew how to help us process hard conversations and come to a resolve quicker by creating practical techniques that we could use in our daily lives. Our individual sessions and couples sessions were catered to what we need as a couple and as an individual in which she helped us to see are not the same. Erica has made us feel so comfortable that we both look forward to meeting with her. Her down-to-earth approach will make anyone feel that she can be a safe place to heal. Making her our counselor has been a major key to our success in our marriage and we will continue to recommend her!
My sessions with Ms. Erica Rooks have been nothing short of amazing. They have been so impactful to my growth and on my healing journey. I look forward to meeting with her because I know I’m going to leave fulfilled. Having sessions with her has made me welcome uncomfortableness, pushed me to take accountability for my actions, and work towards trusting myself and my thoughts. There are so many things I enjoy about my sessions but one of my favorite is knowing that I have an unbiased, God-fearing woman who truly cares about my healing and recognizes my efforts even when I fail to see them myself. I appreciate her realness and genuineness. When I’m not on her virtual couch, her insightful input is always in the back of my mind when I’m navigating life and putting what I’ve learned into practice. My sessions have challenged my thinking patterns about myself and allowed me to look at the bigger picture. I am grateful for having her as my therapist, and I’d honestly choose no different. Her warm, inviting, real approach makes it so much easier to return every week. So much so, that I’ve never missed a session, and never will. I may even double up if I need to! She has truly been a blessing to my life and I’m looking forward to breaking down more barriers and healing completely. I would recommend her to every single person if I could, and not think twice about it. If you are ready to heal, go and sit on the couch with Ms. Rooks, and expect to be fulfilled. Thank you for all you do, I appreciate you so much!
I first found Erica’s services via social media, a couple I admired posted about her relationship coaching so I followed her on the platform. When I learned about her services, I was happy to see that she also provided individual coaching. I was dating at the time after a bad divorce. I had a lot of baggage that was seeping into different areas of my life due to my divorce. It only took one session with Erica for me to feel comfortable, which was something I had never experienced in previous sessions with other counselors. I became comfortable and opened up to her about my relationship with my then-boyfriend of 5 years. This boyfriend and I had been dating off and on for a few years and had some issues that we needed guidance on but I wasn’t sure if marriage was the right, next step for us. After mentioning him in a few sessions, Erica suggested having him join one of our sessions. I was nervous he wouldn’t connect with her or open up but to my surprise, he was very comfortable speaking with her as well. He said he enjoyed speaking with her so much that he wanted to pay for half of our next session and encouraged me to commit to more couple coaching sessions with him and her.
From there we were able to work through our relational fog with Erica’s help! We decided that it was time to take the next step in our relationship! After 5 years and within the year of working with Erica, my bf proposed and we went from dating counseling to premarital counseling! I was so amazed and nervous to take this next step but I knew after our sessions that this was the right man for me! Erica’s services gave me the confidence to make the decision to remarry with clarity. Her sessions also helped me walk in healing so that I could prepare for what was to come. Being able to share my past experiences with her and my current emotions helped repair my heart from my previous martial failure.
My husband and I have now been married for almost two years and are expecting our rainbow baby girl in the Fall. Erica also walked us through a season of grief counseling when we suffered from a miscarriage in our first year of marriage. We still meet with Erica monthly, her guidance for me personally on a 1:1 basis, relationally, in marriage and now the family building has been life-giving! My favorite thing about Erica is that she is faith-filled but never uses the bible or God to beat you over the head. Instead, she focuses on equipping her clients with tools they can use so they don’t have to depend on religion or her services. After a session with Erica, I feel empowered and better equipped to see situations beyond my own perspective. Erica is a great listener and has the best memory. There are times when she reminds me of things I’ve said and forgotten. She has helped me create a plan for my life, set reasonable goals for myself, communicate with my husband, sort through my emotions, as well as question things that hold me back in my own thinking. We will continue to entrust our marriage and family to Erica’s services because they have been so transformative.
I often recommend her to my family and friends because I want everyone to have an experience of a safe place that we’ve found in Erica. Utilizing Erica’s services has taught my husband and I to stay committed to one another through better communication and not to wait until a crisis to be intentional about our marriage. We know it’s God that brought us together but Erica has sure helped us stick together!
