About Erin

Erin Haentjens blends body-centered and movement-oriented psychotherapy with a holistic focus on mind, body, and spirit to help people rebuild trust in their intuition and develop a more positive relationship with their bodies. Her approach encourages increased bodily awareness and self-acceptance, which can foster greater connection, confidence, and a sense of authenticity.

Erin offers a supportive environment in which individuals and families are given space to explore their lives on their own terms while being guided to recognize and strengthen existing resources and capacities. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - a credential indicating specialized training to work with individuals, couples, and families - she brings clinical experience and practical tools to help clients manage depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, eating disorders, addiction, and major life transitions.

She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a somatic specialization, and a Graduate Certificate in Exercise and Sport Performance, training that informs her somatic and movement work and her clinical attention to the body. Over more than eight years she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults across clinical and community settings, including life skills camps for incarcerated and at-risk youth, school and home-based counseling, group home and foster care programs, women’s therapy groups, and individual psychotherapy for adults. Erin also has experience coaching and supporting athletes across levels and ages, and she is particularly drawn to helping people and athletes recover from injury and rebuild resilience from the inside out.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current connections - it helps clients understand attachment needs, heal relational wounds, and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration; the therapist follows the client's lead to support self-exploration and personal growth, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Erin works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains personally meaningful and effective.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and allowing therapy to fit into busy lives. These options let clients engage in consistent care from home or other convenient settings while maintaining regular contact with licensed professionals and therapists who guide their progress.
