ERIKA ELLIS (she/her/hers), Practice Manager

Hi! I am the Practice Manager for Asheville Family Counseling and I’m happy to provide support for our providers and clients. I look forward to helping you take the next step on your mental health journey.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Bio-Psychology in 2001 and I have worked in a variety of fields since then. I’ve always been most interested in connecting with people, collaborating on important work, and using my skills to help others.

DANIELLE FIRSTER (she/her/hers), Client Care Coordinator

I’m so glad you found us! Hi, I am Danielle, the Client Care Coordinator for Asheville Family Counseling. My goal is to provide the best support possible to our prospective clients, our current clients, and our providers. I like to be a part of something bigger than myself. Providing assistance for those who are beginning or continuing their mental health journey is a wonderful place to utilize my skill set.
In my spare time, I enjoy working in my flower gardens, practicing yoga and meditation, investing in my mental health with counseling (yes, we go to sessions too!), listening to music, and spending quality time with my family and friends. I also have my Associates Degree in Business Administration and have always worked in fields where I assist those in life transitions, who need support finding services and navigating challenges.
