Prior to this he spent 10+ years as a Psychiatric and Critical Care RN in the community and a prior 10+ years in the US Army; where he learned a lot about anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. "I lived it, and with help I recovered. Then I studied what I myself have gone through to help others".

Using the tools of Psychology as well as Psychiatric medication management (if appropriate), you can feel much better, function much better at home, work, and when you find yourself in those uncomfortable times.

Almost every symptom or unwanted trait can improve and in many cases, resolve completely, but only if you give it a chance.

Welcome! I'm Erika Tweed, owner of See the Good Therapy. I love working with adults dealing with various life challenges, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, PTSD, self esteem, substance use, grief, relationship issues. I’m committed to creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and come as you are without judgement. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, recognizing the profound impact of trauma on our lives. I believe in the agency of each person, empowering you to take an active role in your healing journey.

I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, powerful, research-backed therapy that helps people heal from traumatic experiences, anxiety, or deeply rooted negative beliefs. . Additionally, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, fostering resilience and healthier coping strategies.

Together, we can work towards understanding your experiences, building coping skills, and cultivating a deeper sense of well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing and growth.

It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Julie A. Armstrong

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I have extensive experience working with families—including both birth and foster families—involved in DCS care, as well as individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Through this work, I have supported clients in managing complex family dynamics, coping with loss and transition, and building skills to support long-term stability and well-being.

Most recently, I worked in a primary care setting, where I gained a deeper understanding of the connection between physical and mental health. This experience has strengthened my awareness of how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, stress levels, and overall quality of life. I integrate this perspective into my work, helping clients address both the emotional and practical aspects of living with ongoing health challenges.
