Holly Erskine

Hello, my name is Holly Erskine and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Wisconsin. You have demonstrated a lot of courage by reaching out for help. I am here to offer you a safe space where you can feel heard. I approach psychotherapy using a trauma-informed perspective which means your struggles are understandable based on your life experiences and we can work together to find effective ways to achieve your goals.

My approach

My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), DBT Prolonged Exposure Trauma Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I often include other therapeutic approaches to best meet the individualized treatment needs of the clients I work with.

My focus

I have been practicing in the mental health field since 2008 and have expertise in working with clients who struggle with trauma-related symptoms, PTSD, complex trauma, emotion dysregulation, mood disorders, personality disorders, and relationship difficulties.

My communication style

Safety is necessary for healing. I am committed to providing empathic and compassionate care, so you feel comfortable and free to explore personal change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I find meaning and purpose in helping others impacted by trauma, mental illness, and other mental health issues. My passion is to foster empowerment and healing so clients can achieve lives worth living.

My goals for you

I will prioritize our therapeutic relationship and work in partnership with you to develop treatment goals that are meaningful to you.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will begin to build our relationship and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about therapy. Next, our goal will be to gain a mutual understanding of what you would like to gain from therapy and work together to develop a treatment plan.
