“I struggle with finances myself! Talking about people’s money just doesn’t feel right.”

— General Psychotherapist (Chicago, IL)

Parents Deserve Peace of Mind Too!

You are not alone!

Hi! My name is Eric Vicens.

As a certified financial therapist and clinical social worker with 15+ years of experience in mental health, I offer competency and passion in both finances and mental health. It is my mission and passion to help parents break cycles, build secure futures, and enjoy the present with their families. 

Man… can we agree that parenting is hard enough without the added burden of mental health and money? No one should have to choose between their mental health, relationships, or providing for their family. It’s not right. Parents deserve peace of mind too!

As the father to twins and triplets, a son responsible for the finances of a parent, and being the sole financial provider for my family, I understand the weight and pressure of making sound financial decisions. I’ve experienced how it can complicate and strain relationships. 

I want you to know, it is possible to feel emotionally and financially secure. There is a safe place in financial therapy where you can learn and talk about your mental health and finances together, not separately. 

You don’t have to do it alone.
