Erin Battle, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Erin!

I applaud you for starting or continuing your journey to becoming the best version of yourself. Whether you're challenged with depression, anxiety, major life transitions, or just feeling better, I am here to help when you're ready.

My focus

I bring a compassionate and client-centered focus to those navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges with family or partners, and major life transitions. My approach centers on empowerment, healing, and helping clients find clarity and strength as they move through life's complexities.

My approach

I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalytic, and Psychodynamic modalities. These help understand underlying issues and triggers, address unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotional regulation, and empower you to make decisions in your best interest while maintaining self-respect.

My communication style

I have a very friendly, non-judgmental communication style. My sessions are conversational while I actively listen and provide a safe, empathetic space for you to feel heard and understood. I understand some things take longer to discuss or put into words, and I will exercise patience as we see it through.

My journey to mental healthcare

My goal was always for children and families to find a safe space in me as a motivator for positive change. I found my passion for therapy in how I connected with those families from a personal love for humanity, instead of just a profession.

My goals for you

I create treatment goals to meet your needs based on what brought you into therapy. As an ongoing process, I assess what we discuss in sessions and tailor those goals as we collaboratively see fit. I'll discuss adjusting treatment goals based on progress, regression, and priority needs.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know each other. I like to discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. I believe having a great therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective therapy, and my goal is always to make that our first session focus.
