Getting to know Erin Howe

Erin Howe is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist with over nine years of experience supporting adults and adolescents navigating trauma, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and life transitions. With a Master’s degree in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling from Columbia College Chicago, Erin blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and body-based, somatic approaches to foster healing and self-understanding. Her work is trauma-informed, outcome-focused, and centered on each client’s unique pace and needs. Erin’s therapeutic style is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. Clients are invited to explore big emotions, reconnect with their bodies, and build trust in their inner wisdom—all without pressure or expectation. While movement is available as a resource, no dance experience is required. Erin especially enjoys working with individuals seeking greater emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deeper connection to themselves. Outside of therapy, she finds joy in dancing, hiking, journaling, yoga, and making playlists that fuel reflection and creativity.
