Reaching out for help can be scary, yet here you are! Congrats on taking that first step. Sometimes we have to do the scary thing when we want more for ourselves. Something I hear again and again from my clients is: after they asked for help, some of the weight they had been carrying around came off. I hope the same will be true for you. Therapy has brought me hope. And I believe it can do the same for you.

Erin Kalk

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.
