Getting to know Erin Rivers

Hi there, I'm Erin! Life can become overwhelming in ways that aren’t always easy to explain. Maybe you’re carrying the effects of past experiences, struggling with anxiety or depression, changing your relationship with substances, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can start there. My focus I have several years of time spent with adults experiencing substance use concerns, trauma, depression, and anxiety. We may focus on changing patterns that keep you stuck, understanding how past experiences affect the present, developing healthier ways to cope, or making sense of a difficult situation happening right now. My approach Therapy with me is a conversation—not a performance. You don’t need the right words or a perfectly defined goal before we begin. We’ll explore what’s happening, what you want to adjust, and what may be getting in the way. I’ll meet you with curiosity rather than assumptions and work with you to make therapy useful. My communication style I won’t tell you how to live your life or assume I know what’s best for you. I will be honest with you, challenge you when it may be helpful, and respect that you are the expert on your own experience. I also believe therapy can include humor, honesty, and the occasional laugh. Life is serious enough without therapy having to feel overly formal. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I believe people can make meaningful changes when they have the right support, and I’ve experienced that value personally. I want my clients to feel that they can bring their real lives into the room—not a polished version—and that we can work from there. My goals for you I’ll bring curiosity, honest feedback, and clinical experience to our work while respecting that you know your life best. When it’s helpful, I’ll challenge you to look at things differently or consider a different approach.
