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.

Greg Custer

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Scottsdale, AZ


That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.
