Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I have been in practice for 18 years and have expertise in child welfare, family counseling, substance abuse and recovery, parenting, and early childhood development. I enjoy working with adults, children, couples, and families to help them navigate life’s challenges so they can live more satisfying lives.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, discuss the expectations of the therapeutic process, along with its risks and benefits, and then dive into the specific challenges that brought you to seek help. Lastly, we will work together to create an individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked adults, youth, and children for the past 18 years, I offer a dynamic approach that will explore your unique life experiences and uncover insights that will empower you to cultivate healthier patterns of communication and relationships.
Erin Copeland offers therapy covered by Central California Alliance for Health (Medi-Cal), Gold Coast Health Plan (Medi-Cal), L.A. Care Health Plan (Medi-Cal), Orange County Mental Health Plan (Medi-Cal), Partnership HealthPlan of California (Medi-Cal) and San Francisco Health Plan (Medi-Cal) in California.
Therapy is a very personal process that requires compassion and support. In therapy, we ask ourselves difficult questions, reflecting on our truth, meaning, feelings, and actions while we create pathways for change. I create a space built on trust that will allow for reflection, accountability, and hope. I work with individuals from all genders, ethnicities, and religious affiliations.
Existential theory has been the core of my clinical practice. In therapy, we will utilize Existentialism to highlight personal empowerment and promote choice, change, and acceptance.
