Erin Beskid, MD, LCPC

Erin Beskid brings more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field and approaches her work with a balance of practical skills and thoughtful theory. She believes people often already have the capacity to help themselves and that a little support and direction can make those strengths more accessible. Her interest in the relationship between thought and performance began in sport and activity settings, and she emphasizes meeting people where they are - whether that means working through movement, performance contexts, or offering formats that are easier to access.

Over the years she expanded her focus to examine what influences happiness, fulfillment, and a sense of success. Her background includes performance coaching, supporting youth and individuals recovering from injury, crisis work, assisting LGBTQ+ clients, weight loss coaching, using biofeedback and physiological methods to address stress and anxiety, coaching in sport, and teaching at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. She is certified as an LCPC in Montana and also holds an MD - MD refers to Doctor of Medicine and LCPC stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

Her clinical style is open, nonjudgmental, and patient while remaining practical and grounded in theory. She emphasizes building on clients' strengths and uses a skills-based approach that incorporates coping strategies, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques, remaining direct when needed. Erin adapts methods from multiple approaches to suit each individual relationship and values the ongoing nature of personal growth, welcoming those who are considering whether they might be a good fit to work together.
