Home - Erika Leigh Raney

I’m a strategist and coach of 20 years, and my engagements span the intersection of psychology, business, leadership, spirituality, politics, communications, tech and culture.

I believe that to build lives, businesses, and movements that are liberating and successful, we must contend with the pervasive feelings of isolation and meaninglessness that linger at the root of our individualistic values.

I’m also a writer. Join my newsletter below.

Get on my list.

I support people and organizations through major transitions, initiations, exits, launches, and the natural cycles of endings and renewal. From career and creativity to death and divorce, and everything in between.

My clients gain clarity and make progress where traditional practices tend to fail, particularly in psychology, self-development, and leadership.

As a depth psychologist, my coaching style is highly intuitive and adaptable, tending to the unconscious forces and blindspots that shape our lives as well as the cultural backdrop we’re all up against.

The result is comprehensive, rich, dynamic, and rewarding.

I support people of all types and backgrounds, and offer sliding scale rates when necessary. As a client, you’ll enjoy the benefit of a business strategist, career coach, psychologist, intuitive, and marketer all in one place, allowing us to make the most out of your investment.

Erika has helped me access a deeper awareness and clarity in my thoughts, needs and actions. All aspects of my life have grown. Our work has helped me rebuild strained relationships with family, progress my career through leadership development, and tap into a more powerful, peaceful and authentic me. In reflection, I really don’t know what direction my life would have taken without the work we’ve done together. Thank you for all that you’ve helped me find along the way in this journey.

It’s hard to encapsulate into words the affect you have had on my life as you’ve helped me though so many things you will never know. Your words and guidance has stuck with me far past our time in the room or total engagement. There’re tons of things that have made it into my everyday life, and lots I still contemplate. You are truly magical and I can’t thank you enough.

It’s the best investment I’ve made in myself. Working with Erika has rewarded me several times over. I keep coming back to the work, and I’ve created a life that I absolutely LOVE .

My energy at work has changed and my coworkers have noticed. I feel more centered when making decisions and aware when I am not. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t started meeting with you. It’s changed my life and perspective drastically. I am a firm believer that everyone could use your coaching. Thank you!!
