Getting to know Erin Addams

I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to heal from trauma, breakups, and life’s challenges. My style is compassionate, practical, and empowering—helping you build skills, strengthen relationships, and create a life of balance and freedom. I also believe humor can be part of healing, and my therapy dog, Ruthie, often joins sessions to bring extra comfort and connection.

What should a new client know about working with you?

What to Expect Working With Me When you work with me, you can expect a supportive, down-to-earth space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. My approach is compassionate but practical — I’ll listen deeply, offer tools you can actually use, and sometimes bring in humor to make tough moments feel lighter. You’ll also likely meet my therapy dog, Ruthie, who has a gift for putting people at ease. Your First Visit During your first session, we’ll talk about what brought you in and what you’d like to get out of therapy. I’ll ask questions to get a sense of your history, strengths, and goals, but there’s no pressure to share everything all at once. It’s a chance for us to see how we work together, start identifying what matters most to you, and create a plan that feels doable.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy with me is a collaborative journey. I let you lead the pace and direction, while I provide guidance, tools, and support along the way. Many clients begin to notice meaningful shifts within about six sessions, though every person’s path is unique and I can’t guarantee a specific timeline. My hope is that therapy empowers you to build confidence, skills, and independence — so that over time, you won’t feel the need to come in weekly. Instead, I want you to leave with the tools to navigate life more steadily, knowing you can return for support when you need it.
