Big step forward for trauma-informed care at Freedom Counseling Group 🎉

Joshua Austin recently completed EMDR training with Kim Johnson from Transform Your Life Counseling & EMDR Training.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy approach designed to help people process trauma, anxiety, distressing memories, and other experiences that can feel “stuck” in the nervous system.

Joshua is continuing to expand his skills so he can better support clients in the Vacaville community with compassionate, effective care.

Growth as a therapist never really stops… there’s always another training, another book, another acronym to learn. Therapists basically collect certifications like Pokémon cards, but with more coffee and fewer holographics. ☕🧠

If you’ve been considering therapy or are curious about EMDR, we’d love to connect.

Ready to Stop Managing Symptoms and Start Actually Healing?
There's a difference between coping with anxiety or trauma and truly healing from it. At Freedom Counseling Group, we specialize in EMDR therapy — a structured, evidence-based approach endorsed by the World Health Organization for treating PTSD, anxiety, and phobias.

EMDR works by helping your brain reprocess distressing memories at their root, so they no longer hold power over your everyday life. No more white-knuckling through the day. No more just getting by.

We work with individuals, teens, couples, and families across the Greater Sacramento Area — with offices in Vacaville, Roseville, and Gold River, and online therapy available in California, Texas, and Florida.

Your freedom begins today. Schedule a free consultation and take the first step.

Meet Nicholas Erickson, MA, AMFT, APCC
EMDR Therapist | Vacaville + Telehealth in California

Some people look like they’re holding it all together… while internally they’re running on fumes.

Nicholas specializes in helping teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families move beyond simply “coping” and into real, lasting change. His work focuses on anxiety, trauma, PTSD, addiction, emotional shutdown, chronic stress, and the ripple effects addiction can have on relationships and families.

With a background in residential and outpatient substance use treatment, plus firsthand understanding of burnout and high-pressure environments, Nicholas brings a grounded, active, and deeply human approach to therapy.

His style goes beyond talk therapy, helping clients create real shifts in how their mind, body, and nervous system respond to stress, emotions, and relationships.

Whether someone is navigating:
• trauma and chronic anxiety
• emotional numbness or burnout
• substance use as emotional regulation
• the impact of a loved one’s addiction
• relationship disconnection

Nicholas offers structured, evidence-based therapy with clear direction and meaningful progress.

📍 Now seeing clients in Vacaville
🖥️ Telehealth available across California
📅 Tuesday, Friday & Saturday

A colleague shared it best:
“Nick is an attuned, thoughtful therapist… deeply committed to his growth as a clinician and applies his skills in ways that truly support lasting change for his clients.”

If you’re ready for therapy that helps you feel different, not just think differently, Nicholas may be a great fit.
