Meet Your Coach

I’m Erica Zadakis, PhD, a marriage and family therapist and trauma-informed coach with over a decade of experience helping people heal and transform. I work with high-functioning professionals, neurodivergent adults who feel stuck in cycles of burnout, anxiety, or perfectionism. In addition to clinical practice, I’ve taught undergraduate psychology and behavioral health courses and earned a doctorate studying historical trauma and how it‘s transmitted across generations. My work blends academic knowledge with integrative mind-body approaches to help clients move beyond survival mode into authentic thriving.

Who I Support & How I Help

As a trauma-informed coach, I offer support to:

• High-functioning professionals & neurodivergent adults feeling burned out or stuck

• Spiritual seekers who’ve tried therapy, coaching, retreats, or plant medicine but still long for breakthrough

• Those struggling with masking, therapy plateaus, emotional disconnection, or spiritual bypassing

My approach integrates both psychology and spirituality, helping you move beyond cycles of overthinking, coping, or numbing, so you can finally reconnect with your authentic self sustainably.

My Journey Into This Work

After more than a decade of working as a therapist, I had my own reckoning, a season where everything I thought I knew seemed to fall apart. Beneath the surface, I was unraveling. I questioned my identity, my relationships, and the way I was showing up in the world.

Even with years of training, insight, and traditional talk therapy, I still found myself stuck, caught in cycles of blaming people, places, and things for my problems, unmanageable anxiety, masking, and chronic emotional disconnection. It was disorienting and painful, but what I had to relearn was that healing couldn’t come from analyzing my mind; it required tending to my spirit, reconnecting with the parts of myself I had pushed away.
