"It takes courage to attend therapy, and it takes dedication
WELCOME
ERICA MARTINEZ CAIN, M.S., LPC, LCDC
Whether you are a seasoned therapy client, a newcomer who has decided to pursue counseling for the first time, or simply someone curious about whether counseling is right for you, I welcome you to my private practice!
I serve the ARK-LA-TEX area with exceptional quality counseling services to private pay clients. My private practice accepts a limited number of clients as it is a part-time business. Unfortunately, I am not always accepting new clients. It really just depends on my clinical workload at the time.

I DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE: Third party payers (Health Insurance Companies and Public Programs) compromise a client’s privacy by requiring a great deal of personal information about the client in order for them to pay; insurance companies impose rigid, limited unrealistic treatment options; allow a very limited amount of mental health care visits per year; and demand/REQUIRE a mental disorder diagnosis in order for them to pay for treatment; Health insurance companies decide for the client what kind of treatment the client should get, and when treatment should conclude, regardless of the feelings of the client or the professional opinion and clinical expertise of the mental healthcare professional providing the treatment. Health Insurance companies base these decisions on the desire for profit, not the best interest of the client.
I do adhere to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards for privacy of individually identifiable health information, outlined patients’ rights and established criteria for access to health records. I take great care by upholding the strictest standards concerning privacy to protect my client’s confidentiality as mandated by law and the code of ethics governing my profession. Protecting your privacy and confidentiality is extremely important to me and an integral part of establishing a working relationship and mutual trust. My privacy policy is especially strict, particularly to accommodate clients who consider themselves high profile, individuals with security clearances, or other issues for which anonymity is crucial. Regardless of your situation, I take your privacy very seriously.
My self-pay clients are not bound by the demands of the insurance company. Together with the client, I create a treatment that makes sense for the client’s unique needs—not their insurance plan. I always keep in mind that my primary duty is to the client, not to insurance companies.
Life is inevitably full of unique challenges for every person in every stage of life. I understand that individual problems, big or small, can have an enormous impact on everyday life. I treat all issues with the utmost respect and attention. It’s not always easy to discuss your problems with friends and family, but you shouldn’t have to try to solve them alone. Whether you’re struggling with depression, life transitions, or are perhaps feeling unfulfilled, in life or work, therapy can help. I believe the key to successful therapy is a therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client that is warm, trusting, non-judgmental and one in which the client feels seen and heard. I do not think I know my clients better than they know themselves but rather, I frequently draw upon my clients’ own insights, experiences and strengths in therapy. It is through collaborative and active conversations that clients achieve a deeper understanding of themselves, their thoughts and behaviors, which in turn paves the way for growth and improvement. Counseling helps you stay healthy, balanced, and productive.
Counseling isn’t just for those who are hurting, but anyone can benefit from an ongoing therapeutic relationship with a counselor. In fact, many of my clients are successful individuals and couples who know, as I do, that everyone has the potential to grow—to thrive. When clients come to me for professional counseling, I strive to provide them with the skills and tools necessary for making (and maintaining) significant life changes. My clients tend to experience a positive difference in their moods, affects, lives, and relationships. In addition, many of my clients find that ongoing counseling helps them achieve new goals and reach new highs for their personal and professional lives.
