Erin Price LICSW

My goal after every session is to have clients feel like they have a space to express themselves in a way that doesn't make them feel judged; where they can be their authentic selves. Clients will be able to leave their sessions with interventions and tools they can apply to their day-to-day lives as an individual such as grounding techniques or positive self-talk or tools they can use with others that help with establishing boundaries and communication skills. Clients can also expect homework assignments if requested, that relate to problem areas in their lives. Therapy is different for each person and each person deserves to have a session that meets their needs.

I use a range of methods such as Cognitive Restructuring that involves identifying and challenging negative or distorted thoughts and replacing them with more realistic and positive ones. Exposure Therapy exposes individuals to feared situations or triggers to help them overcome anxiety or phobias. Socratic Questioning helps clients examine their thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions, encouraging self-reflection and challenging unhelpful patterns. Most importantly psychoeducation to teach clients about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors helps them gain insight.
