Hi! My name is Erin Tucker and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’ve worked as a social worker for over 20 years, and I’ve been licensed since 2014. With extensive experience as a medical and hospice social worker, I take an eclectic approach to counseling, including solution-focused, strengths-based and cognitive-behavioral therapies, giving me the ability to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.
I like to use the first session to begin to build a relationship, getting to know one another a bit and learning what you’re hoping to get from therapy.
I believe that change happens when people are encouraged to recognize their own strengths and realize their potential to live happy, fulfilling lives. I’ll help create an informal and safe atmosphere, in which together we build the rapport and trust necessary for the expression of empathy and compassion. You are the expert on yourself, your family and your life, and I hope to help you identify your inherent strength and beauty in order to live your best life.
I prefer to enter into a therapeutic relationship without making assumptions about what will work for each individual, as I believe the most important piece is the relationship itself. I do utilize CBT, mindfulness and acceptance regularly depending on client needs and preferences.
