Erin Bowen

Hello! My name is Erin and I have been working in the mental health world for 8 years. I am actively a Licensed Clinical Social Worker! I have worked in day treatment and residential settings, as well as the public school system. I have gotten the opportunity to work with wonderful families, children, teenagers, and adults! Most of my experience is working with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and behavior modification. I cannot wait to begin this journey together!

At the heart of my approach is one simple belief: people grow best in relationships where they feel safe, understood, and genuinely accepted. My priority is building a strong therapeutic relationship where you can

show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to be fixed. I draw heavily from Schema Therapy to help us understand how early experiences shape the beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the world. Once we identify those patterns together, we can begin replacing

them with healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. I also bring in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma focused approaches depending on what fits your goals.

Expect our first session to feel a little like "controlled chaos"—in the best way. We'll spend time getting to know each other in a relaxed, conversational way while also diving into what brings you here. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful, with a clearer plan of what you want to accomplish in therapy and how we'll work toward those goals together.
