On By Therapy
Counseling for Intentional Direction
Individual therapy for adults in North Dakota and Minnesota, offering telehealth statewide and in-person counseling in Fargo.
On By is a guiding phrase that speaks to moving forward past what holds you back. It reflects our view of therapy: learning to move beyond what no longer serves you.
Welcome! I’m Erica.
Seeking support takes strength, and together we’ll build on it.
