Erika has been instrumental in helping me see more of the full picture and how to navigate consciously through some of the hurdles life throws your way. She is a wonderful listener and is great at honing in on the epicenter of what you are trying to work on. She is very easy to talk to and we actually end up laughing a lot during most of our sessions. She has taught me some practical and useful meditation skills to help when things get a little tough, as well as tools to help ground myself when the path gets a bit hazy. I can't recommend Erika enough! Thank you Erika! read more

Erika is an incredible Mindfulness Counselor. I came to Erika with a problem I have struggled with for most of my life, sticking up for myself. Erika changed my life by helping me to identify my self limiting belief that is causing my issues, where it stemmed from, and how to mindfully change my habits and my life. Every hill that I encounter she helps me over it with grace. She is dynamic and willing to intuitively cater the session to exactly what I need; sometimes it's advice, sometimes it's meditation, sometimes we just get caught up in a healing conversation. She is warm, emphatic, honest, and what she does is unique. I have never felt like I have walked away with so many practical tools before, I can hear her voice in my head when I am about to repeat a negative pattern. She is someone you want in your support system for a mindful life. read more

Working with Erika has been so eye-opening. I originally sought out her coaching to help me be more successful and focused in my career. Her style and approach are warm and help me really focus inward. As a result, the impact has been far greater than I expected, helping me grow and overcome hurdles in both my personal and professional life. The work we're doing has opened up so many new opportunities for me and I cannot recommend Erika more highly. If you're reading this because you're looking for counseling, make an appointment- you'll see what I mean in the first session. read more

Erika Marcoux has been an outstanding therapist. She is very attentive and listens to what you say. She has given me insight into my issues and helped me learn so much about mindfulness and compassion. I was recommended to me by other family members who have gone through some traumatic life experiences. She is helping them work through their issues also - children, teens and adult have benefited. She is very compassionate and thoughtful. I highly recommend her. read more

People say the easiest way to learn a language is to surround yourself with a fluent speaker, and Mindfulness is Erika's native tongue. My husband and I went to Erika after my mom's passing. Our objective was to continue to nourish our relationship without getting swept away by circumstances outside of us. We got more than we bargained for. The real work was to be done on ourselves, not our relationship. Erika was our perfect match. She and her business partner formulated a program called Cornerstone Mindfulness that centers around discovering who you truly are. It's intense and equally necessary for growth. There's something inexplicably special about working a program with the person who created it. Erika is brilliant, professional, compassionate, and honest. She is the embodiment of her program, and that is how I know it works. There is work involved, but inner peace is priceless payoff. I've been quite vocal to my friends in the Austin area about Erika because she enriched my life and gave me tools to use forever. I have boundaries, purpose, self-control, emotional intelligence, and a sense of humor about life. It's truly awesome. Thank you for sharing the light, Erika. read more

Erika has helped me grow my business by helping to unlock some internal blocks I was having to success. She has also helped me in my personal life by helping with my reactions to events in my life that before would have really brought me down. I can not stress enough how much she has helped me with my business and personal self talk. read more

I turned another year older and realized I needed a change. I wanted to be a better person - for myself, my husband, and my child. So, I went in search for some help. I really wasn't sure what I was looking for... I guess I should mention that I work in the mental health field, so I wasn't looking for typical Psych 101 therapy. I know those answers. I needed something different. I've had a couple of bad experiences with counselors in the past, so I was hesitant to try again. I needed something different. At this point, I didn't want to be prescribed medications as a solution. I needed something different. I found that something different in Erika. Her background in yoga and meditation brings such a different approach to our sessions. The deep meditation allows us to do some real healing work, and I'm so calm and relaxed when I leave. That calm tends to last for days. She has taught me quick strategies that I can really use when it comes to managing my stress and emotions. Oh, and they really work. Erika has a great sense of humor - we laugh a lot. She is kind and caring; yet, she's not afraid to call me out for bad behavior(that I report) when necessary. She is open and honest, and she shares information about her life experiences as well. This all makes her very easy to talk to. If you are dealing with difficult emotions, have trauma that needs healing, or you just need to add some calm to your life - I would highly recommend Erika. read more

Erika has been such a blessing! I've been to multiple therapists over the years, and she is the only one to help me see everything in a much clearer light. She has helped me sort out issues regarding who I should see regarding medication management, family, career choices, and overall anxiety. She has helped me navigate my way through a new relationship, as well. I can't recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to help make your paths straight! read more

Erika is a great teacher and has the quality of putting people at ease, making them feel calm and comfortable. The One-Heart Vision program is a way for large groups of people to learn the concepts that she explains in her counseling sessions and yoga classes. She gave a talk on One-Heart Vision a few weeks ago at the Austin Recovery Center. I thought the program was initially designed to help prison inmates and addicts self-heal. Then as I listened more, I learned that One-Heart Vision is really about the power of being in the present, and how living in the past, or being worried about the future only leads to suffering. This concept is for everyone. Erika says presence is the first step, or step zero, to experiencing lasting joy. To make a change, you first have to get out of the past and into the moment. One-Heart Vision is a great program not just for people struggling with addiction, or incarceration, but also those struggling with the many stresses and challenges of life. Most of us who have our minds pulled in so many directions at once. The key is tapping into and being in the present moment. The One-Heart Vision program by Erika Marcoux and Donon Regan could be a life changer for so many people! read more

I don't normally do reviews but someone else's review is how I found Erika and I've had such an incredible experience that I wanted to be sure to share with others. Erika's techniques have been like no other counseling techniques I've encountered. Her yoga, breathing, and bodywork techniques create such an amazing sense of calm and relaxation that it's worth going for anyone who holds onto stress in their body/mind. I love massages but the state of relaxation I achieve from the bodywork es deeper than anything I've gotten from a massage! In our conversations, she doesn't make me feel like she's preaching from a textbook but rather she takes an approach that is practical and easily applied to any problems I'm encountering. The coolest part is she personalizes each session to fit your needs. I love all the options (check out her website for the list of different things you can do in a session) and I feel like Erika's type of therapy has really been able to reach me on all levels: mind, body, and soul. read more

I had the pleasure of attending one of Erika's seminars a few months back. It was a class intended for overworked or overstressed professionals that have never tried meditation. I actually attended the class as a favor to friend. I went in with the stereotypical pre conceived notion of hearing a bunch of ohhmmms. After a short introduction and group discussion Erika had us do some group meditation. I left feeling completely relaxed and with a completely new admiration for meditation. Months later I still make a 10-15 minute meditation session a part of my morning routine. It has helped to energize me for the rest of the day. I use to relay on at least 2 cups of joe to get me moving in the morning. I now only drink a single cup and it's not because I need it, but more out of habit. Thank you Erika for exposing me to and opening me up to a 10 minute "me time" that helps to keep me going all day long. read more

I'm very careful where I spend my time outside of being with my son, but when a friend told me about Erika's Yoga Psychology series, I was hooked (in a good way) and signed up. Fortunately I was not disappointed in the least bit. In fact, her classes became a kind of sanctuary away from the noise of my every day existence, a forum where "like minds" could openly discuss and divulge our wonderings on the inner workings of our own minds and lives. Plus, there were myriad yoga poses thrown in, to compliment each class's topic. I highly recommend taking this series. She's offering it again in the fall, September I think. (go to http://www.sacredstreamsyoga.com/series-workshops to sign up) Then she offered a polarity therapy session. I had only just heard of polarity therapy briefly before taking her class. And as I LOVE to try new things (especially new mind-body healing therapies), I went and had a session. I felt the relaxation from having massage, the stimulation of reflexology, the colorful tingling of reiki, all swirled in the juiciness of creative visualization and meditation. What a combo! Erika's intuitive, sensitive nature makes for a memorable session. I could feel the energy pulsing through my chakras as insights popped into consciousness and stagnation began to move. I hope to do it again soon, and I recommend trying it out for yourself as soon as possible. Plus she's also a therapist and does other amazing feats that are yet to be disclosed. read more

I've had a couple bad experiences with therapists in the past, but Erika has been great! I am making progress with her and she understands what my needs are. I am looking forward to learning more from her and finding peace of mind. Thanks for your help Erika. read more

I thought that I was self-aware and could figure everything out on my own, I came to a crossroads and Erika has been helping me get my mental traffic in order. I'm now opening my eyes and seeing my errors. She's helped me with specific situations that I can directly apply in my business and my life. I only wish I would've found her before it got as bad as it did. read more

Erika is a tremendous counselor who offers guidance in a caring, compassionate way. Her methods are very effective with bringing mind, body and soul into sync, regardless of how out of sorts you might be. She's a valued partner as I work through some personal, potentially life-changing issues. Her keen ability to travel with you through your emotional journey renders her a trusted, gifted ally. She would be a welcomed addition to anyone seeking assistance, and I would do anything to help her build her successful practice. read more

Erika is incredibly thoughtful, funny and kind. She is so easy to work with, it's a real joy to be working with her. She has taught me to be present and to be authentic with myself and in my communication both personal and professional. Since working with Erika, many people have commented that I radiate calm and am a very clear with my intentions and boundaries. It's been wonderful learning to self-sooth and understand how I'm really feeling and how to take action on what needs to be taken action on and to let go of the rest. Erika is a wonderful guide for self-discovery. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Erika is a tremendous source of support and stability for me. After interfacing with Erika as a yoga teacher for several years, I have recently been seeing her as a counselor and life coach and my experience has been very positive. Erika has a very calming presence and does an excellent job of asking the right questions to enable breakthroughs in your mental and physical being. Her cornerstone method of practicing mindfulness and conscious compassion has been my daily guide for a long time and it has truly made a difference in my life. She is professional, poised, caring and approachable. I highly recommend Erika if you are seeking guidance on a particular subject or are working to resolve challenging issues in your life. read more

I am currently Erika's client. She has been trying to help me find the true self, figure out how to pursue my dream and how to make life-changing decisions. I had a really good meditation with her help and found a great truth about myself, which is very rewarding. I am also learning to be peaceful. Hope the on-going journey can bring me more surprise! Recommend Erika to everyone. read more

I don't even know where to begin. Erika was my last option as I was ready to get a divorce. My husband is not bad, we just don't see eye to eye in just about everything. I feel as though in order to keep everything running smoothly or running at all my husband should just follow my lead. I was wrong, way wrong! Erika showed me how to live a much much less complicated life in this very busy busy world. The EGO. I always thought that I did away with that once I stopped being a TV reporter...actually that's one of the main reasons I left the only career I knew, so sick of the me me me factor. Well I still had that, still do. We all do, but Erika has shown me the key to live an EGO free life and a more compassionate life. Once you do away with all the bull ,which of course is an everyday practice, life just makes sense and life becomes REAL. LIFE CHANGING THERAPY. Tired of living a life that does not make sense? Tired of not being the best person you could possible be? I was! Not anymore. Thank you Erika! read more

I came to Erika at a time of uncertainty in my life. Wanting to organize my thoughts in a natural way, I decided to give her mindfulness course a shot. It has completely changed my outlook on a lot of things (maybe everything!) and I can't recommend her enough. Her gentle and encouraging demeanor has helped me to explore and understand what kind of person I am at the core, and she's taught me how to cope with stress, anxiety and the feelings of uncertainty I started out with. Even just in the short amount of time I've known Erika, I have come to feel so much more confident, happy and overall healthier. I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

After reviewing many of the traditional forms of counseling I stumbled upon Erika and her Cornerstone Mindfulness program here on yelp. I was looking for something more than just venting my frustrations and having an outsider tell me what I should be doing with my life. I will lead this off by saying that I am unbelievably pleased with my experience with Erika and her methods. I wish I had done this sooner. Erika along with her cornerstone mindfulness program is truly the exact answer I was needing. Through interaction and meditation her program teaches you to connect to yourself on a deeper level than most all of us have ever done before. Erika counsels and consults you to find the answer to your questions from within, and she serves as a guide to assist you through the journey. She is unbiased and is an unbelievable listener and gives you the tools to heal and move on with your life in a positive manner that focuses on the pillars of Conscious Compassion, embodying what it is to be the best human being you are capable of being. I was a believer when I found out her program has an ending. She is not in this to drag you on for years and years as is the case in traditional therapy. She has a defined program and she offers maintenance that we all need after you have completed, if you deem it necessary. I could go on and on for hours with this review, fact of the matter is, it is very worth your time and your health to seek out Erika's counsel. You will not regret it. read more

Wow glad everyone else got the help they needed. Note! don't mention alcohol if you want to see Erika. Seems like it scared her off. I'm leaving a five star review because she was nice and professional but I have business and marriage problems! She won't even talk to me cause I mentioned alcohol as one of the contributors to my problems. (It's a small part of a major problem) My wife and i's issues are so much deeper than that but I was not even given a chance to talk Erika. So ya she seems nice but not very dedicated to helping all humans. Mabey cause I'm a man? I don't know. What I do know is she tried to pass me on and that's not what I want. I've talked to multiple alcohol psychologist specialist and they are all the same!! 12 steps, the Bible, blah blah!! It doesn't work for me so I tried to look outside the box and it was a huge bust!!!! read more

I never thought I could find a teacher/therapist/coach who really 'gets' me, but I truly did with Erika. When I found Erika, I was searching for a therapist that wouldn't waste my time and that would help me towards my goal of authentic happiness and real living. Erika has helped me with all that and more. I have also attended one of Erika's workshops and thoroughly enjoyed that experience too. Our sessions have included guided meditations, bodywork, yoga, talk therapy, goal setting, and teaching practices for living compassionately. As a school psychologist, I take mental health seriously; and Erika is someone who combines real life experiences with psychology and spirituality and integrates them together seamlessly. read more

I have been to a handful of counselors, therapists and even one life coach over the last 15 years and I have never had a therapeutic experience quite like this. What I think is different about Erika is that she offers more than just your traditional talk it through method. Erika has a gentle approach and if you're up for it, will use guided meditation and breathing techniques to help you to go inside to find the answers yourself. As the over thinker type, this style of therapy was extremely effective for me because it allowed me to quiet my mind and tune into real feelings, something I don't think I was able to do with other therapists. As a yoga instructor and someone who already practices meditation, I have a deep respect for Erika who's misson is to help other's find their true purpose in life but if you're not into yoga (like the song says...) you will love Erika just the same. She's professional, a recent published author, bright, funny, and genuinely cares about all of her clients. read more

My counselor is Erika Marcoux. She is hands down AMAZING. Over the past three months she's taught me how to breath and meditate. I've been learning how to get out of my head and access my true self. It may sound hokey but it feels really good. I've been to counselors and psychologists in the past and the experience has never been great. I would just talk and talk and they could never help me. Her connection between the mind and body through meditation is the missing link for me. She is also supportive, realistic, and empathetic. Going to see her is just what I needed to start growing in a new and healthy direction, to find inner strength, peace and calm. I hope to one day become someone who I would consider emotionally healthy and true to herself all the time. I think I'm finally on that path. I'm thankful I decided to take a chance on something new (to me) and I'm thankful that she proved to be worth the risk. She is an wonderful counselor and teacher and I recommend her to everyone. read more

Erika is great at what she does no matter what you been through or problem you have she can help you understand and see what you already know Subconsciously, then you can use what she have learned and realized then use it in your everyday life.. Erika is truely a amazing person... read more
