Cassandra Erickson

When people arrive in Cassandra Erickson’s office, they often carry something they’ve been holding for a long time — a marriage fracturing under pressure, a childhood wound that keeps surfacing, a trauma that reshaped everything after it. Erickson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with thirty years of private practice in Indianapolis, and she works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating some of the hardest stretches of their lives, including abuse recovery, crisis, grief, anxiety, and depression.

What clients tend to notice first is that she is warm and genuinely nonjudgmental — and then they notice she doesn’t shy away from honest, sometimes challenging feedback when the moment calls for it. She holds a firm belief in each person’s capacity to change, and she brings a sense of humor to that work, because the long road benefits from it. She also sees how blurred the line between work and home has become when a job never quite goes offline — answering one more email at ten at night, never fully exhaling — and understands that kind of chronic pressure as real stress worth taking seriously in therapy.

Erickson earned her doctorate at Purdue University and sees clients in person in Indianapolis as well as through online sessions.
