Erin West

I have over 10 years of experience working with clients in community and school settings as a licensed counselor in Ohio and Texas. I also hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education from Kent State University and have worked for 10 years training counseling students to become licensed counselors. My experiences as a counselor and professor of counseling have helped me to become very skilled at providing meaningful counseling experiences that help clients reach their goals. I often help people struggling with parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, postpartum and pregnancy issues, grief, and life transitions.

I believe in individualized approaches to counseling that meet the unique needs of each person. I will create a compassionate, warm, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your concerns and stressors. I believe change begins when clients start sharing their struggles and worries aloud allowing us to work through them together. Through counseling, I will help you process and explore your areas of concern and work towards goals that are important to you.

You’ll leave our sessions feeling heard and cared for in a professional and respectful environment. Over time I will work to deeply understand things from your perspective and work with you to make meaningful and lasting change. You will leave our sessions knowing you have a counselor invested in you and your wellbeing; we will work together to help you feel better.
