Erin Clark, MSW, LCSW, PSEP

Erin Clark has been in private practice providing therapy to individuals 18 and up since 2014. Her therapeutic approach is client-led in nature; she believes every client possesses the power to heal within themselves, and when guided by the therapist, are able to create lasting and meaningful change in their lives. The relationship you forge with your therapist is incredibly important to your healing process; Erin's approach is attachment based and emphasizes acceptance and a non judgmental, solution focused approach. She is a welcoming, open-minded and compassionate person for your therapy needs.

She is an EMDRIA-certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist and is offering clients EMDR and talk therapy sessions via video chat, who want to work on resolving trauma. She is also working toward her CIT, Consultant in Training, and can now provide consultation to other therapists seeking certification in EMDR.

Both EMDR and SE are powerful therapeutic tools in helping clients resolve and heal from trauma. With these powerful forms of therapy and the therapeutic relationship, together we can combat trauma histories and move you forward toward your goals. You don't have to do this alone.

People are often drawn to therapy by a catalyst, a traumatic experience , or a series of events, which awaken a troubling realization all is not right. Whether we lean on unhealthy coping skills, abuse drugs, or alcohol, engage in toxic relationships, or any number of other struggles, the trauma makes itself known and heard in our lives. Engaging in therapy is an important first step in facing those emotions and beginning to process them in a manner that positively serves you and paves a road forward.

Rebecca (aka Becca)  is trained in treating trauma,  mental illness, and a range of addictions. Through EMDR, DBT, MI, or CBT, she works together with her clients to develop effective personal coping strategies to target current problems, find solutions and improve self esteem. Sometimes, these therapeutic interventions can be brief jumpstarts to help clients confidently engage next steps, employing evidence-based practices in positive psychology principles to create solutions, rather than focus on problems. Other times, clients need longer term support and a comprehensive, accessible plan to address deeper trauma and the impact it has on them.  She incorporates attachment and mindfulness perspectives with clients as well.

As your therapist, her goal is to meet you where you are, to provide validation and encouragement through  empathy, acceptance, and respect. You are the expert on your own life  and  have the ability to work toward the life you truly want to live. By cultivating a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing a safe and supportive environment, Becca hopes to prove that change is possible and help you get there. Becca is licensed in MT, CA and CO.

Becca can accept BCBS (Blue Cross Blue Shield), Mountain Health Co-op,  Allegiance, CIGNA, Pacific Source, First Choice Health and Aetna insurances.  Becca cannot accept Medicaid at this time.
