Getting to know Erin Landaker
As a youth, I recall many instances when I experienced intense anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts-but I did so in isolation, without adequate support. Mental health services were not available and not commonly accessed in my community. As a young woman, I used dance and movement, along with other forms of creative expression such as writing and singing, to manage my emotions. I became a psychotherapist to ensure I could support those in similar situations-to help people feel less alone with the difficult aspects of life and relationships. No one should have to fight their mental health battles alone.
I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon. The integration of somatic (body-focused) psychotherapy has allowed me to support others while giving them the gift I discovered through a life of movement-the gift of understanding the body's role in healing. Through the use of the body in psychotherapy, clients can learn to find balance in their minds while discovering peace in their emotional landscape.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe I support clients in feeling heard and understood through using a deep curiosity to delve into each aspect of their lives. I use a collaborative approach to support clients from exactly where they are starting from. I listen intently for new ways of hearing the shared information, the client's story. In this process, I ask questions to weave together the thread of their thoughts and concerns as it creates a path towards their progress and growth. I hold the larger picture of who they are to support the process of highlighting insights into ways of getting from where they are to where they want to be. In this way, I am deeply understanding their process of growth while empowering them to make changes in their life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use a warm and engaging process of building connection with clients. I find it is important to face and embrace our emotional selves, allowing ourselves to be fully authentic to cultivate growth. I foster an environment that supports this authenticity and growth through using my own eccentric and eclectic approach. From within the safety of this relationship I am able to challenge clients with humor while creating space for depth. I am able to flow with what is relevant in the moment while holding their expanded story to support and challenge them in building towards an empowered, integrated, and expansive future.
