Erin Perko

My communication style

I’m warm, casual, and pretty straightforward. Sessions tend to feel conversational rather than overly formal, and humor is definitely welcome. I want you to feel comfortable being honest, while also leaving with a better sense of what’s going on and what you can actually do about it.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have my own experiences with mental health challenges, and I know what it's like to struggle, search for support, and find healing. I became a therapist because I wanted to share the tools and practices that helped me find stability, clarity, and self-compassion.

My goals for you

I’m not big on turning therapy into a giant homework assignment. We’ll talk about what you actually want to be different in your day-to-day life and come up with a few realistic things to work toward. If something isn’t helping, we change it instead of forcing it.

Our first session

The first session is mostly a chance for me to get to know you and understand what’s been going on, what’s bothering you most, and what you’d like to be different. I’ll ask questions, but it’s a conversation, not an interrogation. By the end, we’ll have a good idea of where to start.
