Hello! I’m Erica Collison (she/her), a licensed professional counselor (LPC).
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Penn State University and my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I am currently working toward my Doctor of Philosophy in Counselor Education and Supervision.
I work with older teens (16+), young adults, and adults for anxiety, caregiver stress, motherhood challenges, depression, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, and relationship issues.
My approach to counseling is integrative, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities. I believe you already have the resources and potential for positive and lasting change within you. Together, we’ll explore those resources and help you put them into action in your daily life.
With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I will strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can freely explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My role is to support and empower you to navigate life’s challenges, uncover your strengths, and realize your unique potential. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am proud to create an environment that is affirming and supportive of people of all identities.
Outside of work, I love to participate in community theatre. I also enjoy singing, reading, and spending time with my family.

Erica Collison offers in-person counseling at the York therapy office and online therapy sessions for anyone in Pennsylvania.
Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression and anxiety are extremely common, but often under-diagnosed by medical providers during pregnancy and postpartum. Our providers have specialized training to help women with anxiety and depression in this specific period in their lives.
Move Forward Counseling is an inclusive practice where we want the LGBTQIA+ community to feel welcome and supported. Whether you are unsure how to embrace your identity, are having relationship issues, or need extra support from a non-judgmental person, we have therapists who can help.
Trauma symptoms and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be debilitating for many who experience it. Recovery from trauma is possible and we have therapists who can help.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
