Guest: Erica Doig, MSW
Host: Amy Parker
In this episode of Titans of Healthcare, guest host Amy Parker sits down with social work advocate Erica Doig, MSW—a registered clinical intern in Florida and founder of Healing Circle and Integrative Wellness. Erica shares her deeply personal journey through childhood adversity, her work in child welfare, addiction recovery, and the criminal justice system, and her commitment to trauma-informed, holistic care. She offers an unfiltered look at the systemic flaws in treatment access and how social workers are vital in creating long-term change in healthcare.
Key Takeaways
Healing from the Inside Out: Erica's personal trauma inspired her path into social work, fostering deep empathy for clients navigating abuse, addiction, and incarceration.
Systemic Barriers: Short-term insurance coverage and limited treatment modalities perpetuate the cycle of relapse and readmission.
A Whole-Person Approach: True recovery must include somatic healing, social support, and long-term care—not just medication and crisis management.
Policy and Advocacy: Erica’s first-hand experiences with prison reform and child welfare show the urgent need for change in how care is delivered and accessed.
