Erik: Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW (he/him)

About Erik

I believe therapy should feel real, direct, and collaborative. As a licensed male therapist in Chicago and founder of Modern Therapy Alliance, I help individuals, couples, and families find clarity and confidence through conversational therapy. After a career in business and management—and raising a blended family—I came to this work later in life with a passion for helping others through authentic, practical dialogue. I don’t have all the answers, but together we’ll work on what matters most to you, whether in person at our Chicago office or via telehealth throughout Illinois.
