Our Office
Our Staff and Board of Directors
Erica Bass, Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Erica is a second-career counselor and wellness specialist. As a young attorney, Erica began to recognize the connection in her own life between her "bad habits" and her mental health. After treating her substance use disorder and learning how to improve her thinking habits, she still felt something was not quite right in her emotional life. Eventually, she discovered that how and what she eats has a tremendous impact on her ability to effectively use the coping and mood-changing skills she had learned. This discovery was game-changing for her. Changing her diet in small, painless ways fueled her brain for the hard work involved in living life on life's terms. Her moods, outlook and relationships improved.
After many years of law practice, Erica decided to obtain advanced education in wellness and mental health counseling in order to help others with life struggles to restore balance and resilience in their lives. She became a certified in mind-body nutrition coach and then obtained a master's degree and professional licensure in clinical mental health counseling. She founded Well Beings, Inc. for the purpose of helping others learn and use all the tools available them to improve physical and mental health, and to make those tools available to all who need them.
