Erin Rodriguez, LPC

Erin (AIR-in) earned her master’s in mental health counseling from Northwestern University. Her experience includes working with individuals experiencing life transitions, family and interpersonal concerns, depression, and the emotional and physical impact of trauma. She is a Gottman-certified relationship therapist and works with couples to communicate more effectively during relationship difficulties.

Erin works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and individuals who have experienced hardship and trauma. She also works with couples who want to build stronger, healthier relationships. Erin believes therapy is an opportunity to transform unhelpful beliefs or patterns of behavior into areas of growth and strength. She fully accepts her clients, practices non-judgmentally, and serves as a partner and ally to clients in their journey of personal development and growth.

Erin practices therapy utilizing a psychodynamic approach which focuses on how our early experiences, and how areas outside of our immediate awareness, influence who we are and the ways in which we interact with the world. She commits to listening and accepting individuals as they are in an effort to create a constructive and fruitful relationship. She creates a safe environment where vulnerability is encouraged and valued. Erin appreciates that alongside life’s joys comes hardship, hurt, and disappointment and that amidst the pains and challenges of life, compassion, hope, and change are available to all individuals. She seeks to be a partner in the journey of self-awareness, healing, and growth. 

Erin values and recognizes the many ways our intersectional identities shape us. She aims to provide an inclusive and sensitive environment that honors the dignity of a person’s multifaceted identity including but not limited to culture, race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. In sessions, Erin strives for empathy and honesty. She values the vulnerability of her clients and appreciates the risk and fear that can accompany sharing the most sacred parts of one’s self. She is committed to prioritizing kindness and sincerity in the therapeutic relationship.

Outside of work, Erin enjoys spending time with her family, running, and practicing yoga.
