Hello, and welcome. I am so glad you have reached this point in your therapy journey. My name is Erin. I have been a social worker for nearly 20 years. I have been a LCSW for nearly 3 and was a CSW for 10 years. I have worked in Substance Use treatment centers, in mental health crisis centers, and I have helped clients with mood disorders, anxiety, grief, trauma and substances abuse and misuse. In session with me I do a lot more listening than speaking. I know you have a story to tell. With that being said, I do not expect everything to be "laid on the table" in the first session. The first session will be a get to know you, set expectations, and ask about personal goals you are wanting to achieve in therapy. My ability to listen, reflect, and when possible offer suggestions for strategies that might best help the situation, or experience.
