Hi, I’m Erin Kalk, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North Carolina. I have over five years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families in private practice, as well as experience in school counseling, community mental health, and residential psychiatric care.

I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Children from Webster University. My clinical work is grounded in family systems, psychodynamic, somatic, DBT-informed, and trauma-informed approaches.

I specialize in trauma, betrayal trauma, infidelity recovery, women’s issues, relationship distress, family conflict, identity development, and major life transitions. I also have experience working with military-affiliated clients, first responders, and LGBTQIA+ clients.

My goal is to create a therapeutic space that feels compassionate, honest, and collaborative. I help clients better understand the patterns shaping their lives and relationships, while supporting meaningful change, healing, and stronger connection.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University and my Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. I also completed a Trauma Certification at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My additional professional training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and parenting skills.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, stress management, and emotional regulation. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

I provide support and guidance so that my clients do not have to bear their struggles alone. We work collaboratively to understand what is not working and why. We examine past patterns of experience to help us understand current feelings and behaviors. We can create lasting change and transformation by addressing the underlying issues. I emphasize individual empowerment which allows the client to own their own victories. Empowerment creates a ripple effect which can transcend every aspect of ones life not just in one specific area.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a background in school counseling and emotional wellness support for children, teens, and adults. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD, life transitions, identity development, and family or relationship challenges. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I value collaboration and use an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person's needs, strengths, and goals.

I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety. depression, trauma, and disconnect in their relationships. I am a trauma focused clinician and work to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey.

“My professional background as a Registered Dietitian led me to recognize my strengths as a social scientist, with a deeper passion for listening, understanding, and counseling others. I graduated from Drexel University in my hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I went on to become dually licensed as both a Registered Dietitian and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor after completing a two-year internship.”

My therapeutic style is very authentic, warm and strength based. I believe that my therapeutic practice is a work of the heart, and I believe in the change and or support that each and everyone of my clients' seeks. I have utilized theoretical perspectives such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy as well as brief treatment therapeutic modalities. I also enjoy utilizing bits of psychoanalytic theory and I'm creative and open based on what is best for each and every client I serve.

Do you dream of the days when you and your partner felt so connected and in love?

I have a deep passion for guiding individuals and partners from anger, resentment, insecurity, disappointment and distrust to forgiveness, understanding, self-improvement and connection in their relationship with others and/or themselves. I would love to help you get through this tough time. If you are struggling with how you show up in your relationships or for yourself. I invite you to reach out today. It’s time to heal, rebuild, and reconnect so you can fight for the love and connections you truly deserve.
