I'm Erin Henley
Let’s get to know each other!
I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 9 years of experience working with adults and teens who feel stuck on their mental health journey.
My focus as a clinician is on healing the mind and body, specifically addressing issues related to trauma, insomnia, depression, and anxiety.
I firmly believe in the power of true healing through a comprehensive approach that integrates mind-body practices and evidence-based methods tailored to the individual.
My Journey
In college, I went through tough times dealing with the symptoms of anxiety and depression, which inspired me to help others facing similar struggles. I also had trouble sleeping and tried medicine-free solutions to improve my sleep.
Even though talk therapy can be helpful, I personally didn’t get the results I hoped for.
This led me to explore alternative ways of healing often-unrecognized mental health challenges for myself and my patients.
Discovering EMDR made a big difference in my mental health, bringing about a deep healing I didn’t think was possible.
Now, I’m trained to use a variety of therapeutic methods to make a real and lasting difference for those I work with.
With training in practical methods for sleep issues, I can help with problems like difficulty falling asleep, an active or worried mind at night, bad dreams, kids’ sleep issues, and fears related to not sleeping well.
Witnessing clients break free from detrimental thoughts and witness the rewiring of their brains towards self-compassion and peace brings me immense joy.
Outside of work, I enjoy diving into classic literature, staying creative with pottery, macrame, and crochet, and going on hikes with my spouse. I also love to spoil my furry friends, a Pomeranian named Luna and an orange tabby named Leto (if we meet virtually for therapy, you will probably catch an animal cameo).
