My practice is dedicated to those individuals who desire living with deeper purpose and awareness in their lives. 

As I decided to dedicate my life and career to recovery and healing, I realized that there had to be a better way than just pharmaceuticals and talk therapy. We are not given a reference guide on how to navigate emerging adulthood and its milestones. Many of us realize we are stuck in some type of holding pattern where the ego is driving us to destructive thoughts and ensuing behaviors. Therapy can be a unique platform to cultivate data points of healing and transcendence through skills and insight.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in getting to the root cause of all interruptions and obstacles through various integrative modalities including evidence-based practices to address false narratives and programs that cause breakdowns in the psyche.

I consider myself an engineer of recovery from psychic pain. I am a collaborative conduit introducing elevated states of awareness and truth that activate a client's connection and perception to their optimized self, inner child, divine intelligence and pure awareness. I am committed to facilitating and helping guide both my clients and students who want a life, body, mind, and spirit that align with their true authentic self. I enjoy helping both clients and students find their way as they marry their aspirations and intentions. The journey of psychotherapy can be one that is equally challenging and rewarding.

  • Five questions to reflect on when considering therapy.

  • Is my day to day functioning or overall trend of living problematic or distressing?

  • How do my current behaviors and reactions to situations impact my daily functioning? How do I change my story?

  • How do I fulfill my potential?

  • What is getting in my way?

  • Am I ready to do the work that it takes to discover myself and my true potential?

Erin’s Approach

Erin Gade, LCMHC, EMDR II, has been working with the continuum of Trauma Challenges for 25 years. Rooted in a holistic and integrative perspective, she specializes in trauma, anxiety, and addictions. Erin offers a relational, cultural, psychospiritual approach that is influenced by science and empirically validated studies in pursuit of helping to foster a life of peaceful well being and flourishing with the demands of the 21st modern society.

Erin provides services for individuals, couples, and families, along with clinical supervision that face the challenges of living and thriving with the pressures and demands of a past narrative, the current, and the future. 

Erin is influenced by the contributions of Ellen Shapiro, Carl Jung, Carolyn Myss, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Dave Emerson, Byron Katie, Erik Erickson, John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth, Aaron Beck, and Pat Ogden.

Whether you are looking for a path to more meaning, regulating emotions, stabilization in your work and family relationships, want to make sense of your past, tolerating distress, or housing your spirit in a body that wants to be there, Erin remains dedicated to helping individuals discover their mind, body, spirit, and community.

  • Erin tailors each session to meet the unique needs of every individual, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities. Rather than relying on a single method, she thoughtfully integrates these approaches to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Whether working to release the weight of past trauma, shift unhelpful patterns, or cultivate emotional balance, Erin’s adaptive style allows therapy to unfold in the way that best supports each client’s healing process and personal growth.

  • Erin understands that every person’s story and nervous system are unique, and healing unfolds safely when the body and mind are ready. With care and attunement, Erin weaves these evidence-based modalities to help clients gently process painful experiences, build emotional regulation, and restore a sense of inner safety and connection. Her approach honors resilience and empowers each individual to move toward balance, clarity, and lasting well-being.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps you explore the different “parts” of yourself—the aspects that carry pain, protect you from it, or strive for control. By understanding and compassionately connecting with these parts, you access your core Self: the calm, centered, and curious place within you that can lead healing from the inside out. IFS fosters self-awareness, emotional balance, and lasting integration of mind, body, and spirit.

  • EMDR is a highly researched trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. Through guided bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, sounds, or taps—EMDR supports the brain’s natural healing ability, allowing past experiences to be integrated rather than relived. This approach is effective for trauma, anxiety, and stress-related conditions, helping clients feel calmer, more grounded, and empowered in the present.

  • Gestalt focuses on awareness and presence in the here and now. Rather than analyzing past events, this approach emphasizes what you’re feeling, thinking, and doing in the present moment. By bringing unconscious patterns into awareness—especially those affecting relationships and self-expression—Gestalt therapy helps you take ownership of your experience and find more authentic ways of being. It’s a dynamic, experiential process that supports growth, connection, and self-acceptance.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By recognizing the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT offers practical tools to challenge distorted thinking, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies. It’s an evidence-based, results-oriented approach that empowers you to take an active role in your healing and create lasting positive change.

  • DBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and effective communication. Rooted in both acceptance and change, DBT supports clients in understanding their emotions without judgment while developing practical tools to respond more skillfully to life’s challenges. Erin incorporates DBT techniques to help clients create stability, strengthen relationships, and cultivate balance between emotional experience and rational thought—an essential foundation for trauma recovery and lasting growth.
