Erin Bastian, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Erin!

My approach to therapy is meeting you where you are at, being honest and genuine, and finding a therapeutic approach that best meets your needs.

My focus

My client base includes all ages from childhood through adulthood. I work with individuals, families, and couples. I have experience working with neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia/psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many more.

My approach

There are many therapeutic approaches, and all lead to finding meaning and purpose. I utilize several theoretical approaches to find what fits best for you. My core theoretical foundations include Humanistic, Existential, Integrative, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive.

My communication style

I am simply me. I'm genuine, honest, and open. I desire to help you find answers, feel safe, feel understood, and feel supported. Connection and good conversation are key.

My journey to mental healthcare

Doing what I do fits and feels right from the beginning of my academic journey. I have always been fascinated by the mind, cultures, history, and how we all connect. I certainly had my struggles growing up, and making sense of it all just seemed to make sense.

My goals for you

Goals are only important when they are meaningful and make sense in the individual setting. I will work with you to understand the meaning and purpose of goals. I will provide support and direction on how to help you achieve your goals.

Our first session

My initial session will focus on getting to know you, your experience with therapy, what brought you into treatment, and insights about my education and experience as a therapist.
