Hi, I’m Erin Ashcraft, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in supporting teens, adults, couples and families through life’s challenges, with a strong focus on trauma-informed care. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, EMDR, and family therapy. I’m here to help you or your family grow with grace, heal from within, and move forward with confidence.
In your first session, we’ll start by getting to know each other and understanding your story, concerns, and goals for therapy. I’ll ask questions to learn more about what brought you here and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll begin building a safe and trusting space where you feel heard and supported. I’ll also explain my approach and answer any questions you have about the therapy process so you know what to expect moving forward.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to work intuitively and empathetically, creating a warm and understanding space for my clients. I easily connect with others and find understanding quickly, which helps build trust and rapport. I also have a strong ability to see the bigger picture—helping clients make connections between their experiences, patterns, and goals so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
I’m best positioned to support teens and adults who feel "less than," lost, or stuck — but still carry a desire to grow and heal. My ideal clients are self-reflective and motivated, even if they’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or finding purpose. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I provide a compassionate space to explore what’s not working and help build a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and connected.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By increasing awareness of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, clients gain practical tools to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I tailor CBT to each client’s unique needs for meaningful, lasting change.
In couples counseling, I help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. I create a safe, supportive space where each person feels heard, and we work collaboratively to address patterns that may be causing conflict or disconnection. My goal is to help couples grow stronger together through increased understanding and healthy relationship skills.
I use EMDR to help clients process and heal from past trauma, distressing memories, and emotional blocks. This evidence-based approach allows the brain to reprocess difficult experiences in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and promotes healing.
I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens, recognizing the impact that past experiences can have on a person’s emotional and relational well-being. I prioritize safety, trust, and empowerment in the therapeutic relationship, ensuring clients feel respected, supported, and in control of their healing process. This approach guides how I tailor interventions and create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for growth.
I use family therapy to help strengthen communication, connection, and understanding among family members. I support families in navigating transitions, resolving conflict, and creating healthier patterns of interaction. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping each member feel heard while working together toward shared goals.
