Erica Hubbard

LPC

My personal experiences as a wife, mom of four in a blended family, and someone who has faced my own seasons of change have shaped the way I show up as a counselor. I know life can be messy and overwhelming, and I’ve learned how important it is to have a safe place to lay it all down. Authenticity is central to who I am—I believe real healing happens when we can show up as our full, honest selves. Balancing family, faith, and work has taught me the value of grace, honesty, and resilience, and I bring those same values into every session. My hope is that clients feel seen, understood, and supported not just by my training, but by my genuine care and willingness to sit with them in the hard places.

My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line—it grew out of real life experience. Before entering higher education, I spent years as a stay-at-home mom, pouring my time and energy into raising my kids. Later, I walked through the challenges of being a single mom, and eventually remarried, which brought the joys and complexities of building a blended family. Those seasons taught me so much about resilience, change, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward. When I returned to school, I felt called to counseling because I knew how powerful it is to have someone sit with you in the hard places. My own journey inspired me to create the kind of space I once needed—a safe, steady place where people can be honest, feel supported, and discover their own grit and grace. That’s what ultimately led me to become a therapist and to open Porch Swing Counseling.

When you work with me, you can expect a space that feels steady, safe, and judgment-free. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are—whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change. My approach blends grit and grace: I’ll walk with you through the hard places while also encouraging your strengths and resilience. Authenticity is important to me, so I’ll always show up as real and present. If faith is an important part of your life, I’m open to weaving that into our work, but I’ll never push it—it’s always your choice. Most of all, I want you to feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
