Erin Plachko

My communication style

I want my clients to feel comfortable and safe in therapy, unconditionally accepted, respected, and supported, and never judged. I am more soft spoken and present with a warm, gentle, and calm manner. Being an active listener is my superpower, but that doesn't mean I won't challenge those negative beliefs and self-talk.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been fascinated with psychology and love helping people. Later on in life, I went through my fair share of grief, loss, and trauma. My own therapeutic experience was so vital and necessary in my recovery. As I have grown stronger and healed from this, I want to give back to my clients who may be in the thick of it right now.

My goals for you

I want to understand what brought you to therapy now. We'll collaborate on what's most important for you to focus on so we can make the best use of our time together. We will focus on just one or two goals at a time, and revisit them in timely increments to determine progress.

Our first session

Since you've probably had a number of things on your mind before you found me, I'll be doing a lot more listening than talking. After we make our introductions, get to know each other a bit, and set some ground rules and expectations, I want to know more about what you want to focus on and start to set some goals.
