Meet Dr. Erica Pouncie: your compassionate guide to growth
Welcome to PCS Behavioral Health and Wellness Group! Learn about my journey, my commitment to your well-being, and how I support individuals, families, and groups in Richardson, Texas, and beyond. Together, we'll unlock your fullest potential.
My journey to counseling and commitment to you
My practice is built on a deep commitment to helping others, especially those who have served our country. My experience spans private practice settings, serving as a Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC) on military bases, and working within a Veteran Mental Health and Rehabilitation facility. I've also had the privilege of supporting individuals in veteran and civilian treatment courts, adolescent residential programs, and intensive outpatient treatment.
I meet people exactly where they are in life. My counseling approach is grounded in empathy, adaptability, and cultural competence. I work with individuals, families, and groups across all backgrounds, with a particular focus on veterans transitioning back to civilian life. I tailor therapy to each client’s needs while connecting them with valuable community resources that support their healing journey. I love helping individuals grow to their fullest potential by utilizing the tools that reside within them.
Our unique approach: healing with empathy and Zeus
One of the things that sets my practice apart is the inclusion of animal-assisted therapy. I have a therapy dog named Zeus who plays an integral role in supporting clients emotionally. He’s worked alongside me with veterans, including those awaiting their own service dogs, until we could successfully pair them with organizations like Patriot Paws, which does incredible work matching veterans with service animals.
The heart of my brand is this: healing looks different for everyone. My goal is always to help each client develop the tools and skills they need to reach emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. Some journeys are short-term, others are longer, but each one is respected and supported with care and consistency.
Supporting diverse journeys to wellness
Beyond veterans, adults, and adolescents, I am passionate about supporting other specific groups facing unique challenges. This includes military personnel and various professionals such as pharmacists, dentists, doctors, nurses, and first responders, who are constantly caring for others but may struggle to care for themselves or find themselves off-balance due to significant stressors.
Additionally, I enjoy working with bodybuilders and those focused on sports performance, helping them navigate the mental and emotional aspects of their rigorous pursuits. My ability to meet individuals where they are in life extends to all these diverse groups, providing tailored support to help them implement tools for growth and well-being.
