Eric Bricker: Choose how much truth you can tolerate

Eric has been a longstanding community advocate in the mental health and substance abuse space for quite some time here in South Florida. While I've only gotten to know him over the last 2 years from working in the industry, he has a sterling reputation and shining references from his work. Eric is an accomplished South Florida psychotherapist and behavioral health consultant, currently in private practice since 2007 and specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance misuse, grief and loss, anger management and related traumas. 

He began working as a therapist in 1995 and has worked in a diverse range of clinical capacities including community mental health, residential addictions treatment, Native American behavioral healthcare administration and private practice. Eric also provides behavioral health program consultation and counselor training. He has instructed at the graduate school level and provides specialty clinical training to psychotherapists. 

We dove into his journey of starting out many years ago and what led him to today. He shared overcoming some personal struggles and that vulnerability is the antidote for shame. He has an amazing way of sharing his life and putting into relatable and easy going way. Eric is also the host of The Good Counsel Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
