Welcome to the Academy
Hi, I'm Erica! I'm a licensed therapist who's passionate about helping people find their clarity, get unstuck, and start leading the life they're meant to be living.
I run my therapy practice The Way Forward LLC from my hometown of New Orleans, and I love the work that I do with my 1-1 clients! But I also wanted to create other avenues for folks to receive and use mental health knowledge and tools that can really make a difference in their day-to-day lives. So I started The Way Forward Academy with a mission to provide powerhouse courses that are affordable, streamlined, and easy to engage with.
My courses are meant to be short, sweet, and affordable. Never requiring more than 60 minutes of your time or costing more than $50, you don't have to crunch your schedule or break the bank just to get the knowledge you need! So if you haven't tried out a course yet - what are you waiting for?? Let's get started!
