Erica Bertschy

I am a Denver-based grief counselor who blends professional expertise and personal experience to support adults navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and identity shifts. With a background in hospice care, I bring deep empathy to her work, offering guidance in a society often uncertain of how to support the grieving. I create a safe, validating space where you are truly seen and heard, helping you develop emotional coping skills to live with the dualities of life—a remarkable journey where joy and sorrow coexist. I believe in crafting personalized tools and skills that empower clients to approach life’s challenges with resilience and self-compassion.

My practice is built on the foundation of inclusivity, respect, and justice. As an LGBTQ+ affirming and anti-racist therapist, I actively work to create a space where all identities are seen, valued, and supported. I acknowledge the systemic barriers that impact mental health and strive to provide care that is culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and affirming of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and racial backgrounds. Your story matters, and you are welcome here exactly as you are.
