I’m so glad I have been able to take group arts workshops with Erin. Erin has been running unique and evolving holistic art therapy groups for many years, including paints, mindfulness, nature, and silk dyeing practices. The first one I attended back in 2015 was so warm, welcoming, empowering and psychologically fruitful that I invited a friend to join me for another. Since I started art therapy with Erin, my world has skyrocketed into moving towards living the life of my dreams. Thank you, Erin! ---Katherine A ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Erin has been exceptionally helpful with my daughter sorting through issues before and after a family divorce. My daughter is able to identify her feelings and sort through them in order to help herself establish what she can and cannot control. Even beyond the initial reasons for seeking counseling, Erin has helped her to find music to help with anxiety in sports, to visualize success and how to cope with stress, and how to deal with others' actions that are beyond her control. These realizations will help her to be successful for a lifetime.
How did you feel when you were with this therapist? My daughter likes seeing Erin and sees the value enough, even as a 12 year old, to request sessions and plan her next meetings herself, as she knows there is a benefit to therapy and Erin has helped her to see this. When I worked with Erin and my daughter together, I felt supported and heard and like Erin was very open to listening and helping us from an earnest, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented place.
What was unique about this therapist connection with your child? The biggest thing for me is how my daughter saw art therapy as an activity that led to better understanding of herself; now when she struggles at home, I can get art supplies out and she can sit and write and draw and talk openly and honestly. Seeing her help herself to sooth and sort out her feelings is an enormous life skill she has learned through working with Erin.
What if anything set this therapist apart from other therapists? Erin has a very calm demeanor.
