Eris Pursley is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist based in the Richmond, VA metro area. With a passion for the healing process, her approach to therapy is rooted in the belief of acknowledging and nurturing the strengths of individuals, rather than focusing solely on deficits. Eris has cultivated her expertise in solution-focused, short-term therapy, which aims to empower clients in facing their immediate challenges effectively. Understanding that the first step of working with a new therapist can often provoke anxiety, she is committed to alleviating those feelings and providing a safe, supportive environment. Specializing in supporting female-identified individuals and people of color, Eris focuses on those navigating transitions and seeking to break free from old patterns. Grounded in a cognitive-behavioral perspective, her goal is to assist clients in reframing negative thought and behavior patterns, guiding them towards embracing a new outlook on life. Recognizing that change, whether big or small, requires both effort and support, Eris looks forward to being that trusted ally in her clients’ journeys towards transformation.
