I remind my clients—and myself—that this season of their life is only one chapter, not the entire book. In our work together, I honor the weight of what they’ve survived while supporting them in reclaiming their power to shape what comes next. I help them reframe their experiences, reconnect with their voice, and recognize the strength that has carried them this far. Their trauma does not define them; instead, I walk alongside them as they discover the meaning, healing, and empowerment they choose to create moving forward.
I’m Erica Fulton, a licensed professional counselor who believes people are meant not just to survive, but to thrive and live out their purpose. I bring together lived experience, clinical training, and evidence-based care to support clients navigating trauma, grief, ADHD, and major life transitions. After losing my husband, I took time to rebuild, and that experience shapes how I show up in therapy. I specialize in working with individuals impacted by trauma or change, helping them reconnect with themselves, process their experiences, and build tools for stability, growth, and long-term healing at their own pace.
My approach is warm, relational, and trauma-informed. I prioritize creating a safe space where clients can explore their story and emotions. I draw from evidence-based practices like CPT, DBT skills, and grief-informed care. I tailor each session to support healing, insight, and practical growth in a way that feels grounded and collaborative.
Healing takes courage, and starting therapy is a meaningful step. I strive to ensure you feel supported and not alone in the process. I bring compassion, clinical skill, and steady presence to our work together. If you’re ready to reconnect with your strength, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, I would be honored to support you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Addiction counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of addiction counseling depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their addiction, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in addiction counseling in the first weeks to months.
When people are calm, happy and well-rounded, they are often referred to as “balanced.” When that balance is shaken and several or one area of someone’s life becomes to be his or her most important focus, people might call that person “obsessed.”
While obsession is a strong word, it’s a euphemism for the much more sinister reality: addiction. If you’re struggling with addiction, reach out to Thriveworks Austin for help. We have compassionate counselors who can help you as soon as this week.
Addiction is the dependence on a substance (e.g., alcohol, prescription or over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, marijuana, cocaine) or an activity (e.g., gambling, shopping, sex). The dependence may be physical, as in the case with drug and alcohol abuse, or psychological, as in the case of pornography, shopping and excessive video game playing, but the overarching distinction is that these addictions are used as a method for coping with everyday life.
Addictions are chronic behaviors that become nearly impossible for the individual to control, and leads to adverse activity as a means of hiding or fueling the addiction. The addict pursues their dependency for whatever diminishing benefit it provides, despite the negative consequences of the repeat behavior. It is common for an addict to blame his or her problem on external factors, such as their environment, a stressful job or marital issues, instead of taking personal responsibility for their actions.
Key characteristics of addiction include:
Friends and family members of an addict are understandably concerned for their loved one’s safety. The concern for safety extends to the addict’s children, for example, if there is risk of the addict driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If you are suffering from addiction or know someone who is, immediate steps must be taken in order to prevent serious, irreparable harm. One simple way would be to turn down any rides offered by the addict. Also, if there are children in the picture, seek help in keeping them safe.
An Austin addiction counselor is specifically trained and experienced to help anyone with an addiction make the necessary changes toward living a healthy, fulfilling life. Like any illness, it’s best to seek treatment sooner rather than later. The longer you wait, the more challenging and debilitating the addiction becomes.
Thriveworks Austin addiction counseling is dedicated to patient care and treatment, which means that we’re available when you call and new clients can often meet with a provider within the week.
