Erin Rodriguez, LPC
Erin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She believes that while life inevitably includes hardship, disappointment, and grief, therapy can offer the compassion, safety, and insight needed to move through those experiences with greater understanding and care. Erin strives to be a steady, nonjudgmental partner in each client’s journey toward deeper self-awareness, healing, and growth.
As a White, cisgender woman, Erin recognizes how our intersecting identities shape us. She aims to provide an inclusive and sensitive environment that honors the dignity of a person’s multifaceted identity, including but not limited to culture, race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. Erin values honesty, empathy, and presence, and holds deep respect for the vulnerability and courage it takes to share one’s most sacred experiences.
Erin works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, family and interpersonal concerns, and the emotional and physical impacts of trauma. As a Gottman-certified relationship therapist, she also offers structured tools to support couples seeking to strengthen their relationship, communicate more effectively, and deepen their emotional connection.
Erin practices from a psychodynamic approach, exploring how early experiences and areas outside of our immediate awareness shape who we are and how we interact with the world. She commits to listening and accepting each person as they are, creating a space where vulnerability is encouraged and valued. Erin believes therapy offers an opportunity to transform unhelpful beliefs and behaviors into areas of growth, resilience, and strength. She brings warmth, sincerity, and deep respect to the therapeutic relationship, honoring each client’s unique process and serving as a partner and ally on their path of personal development and growth.
Outside of work, Erin finds joy in running, baking, and spending quality time with her family.
“Building resilience isn’t about becoming immune to pain. It’s about recognizing that we have the strength to persevere in the face of pain. The capacity to feel intense emotions makes us vulnerable to despair and grief― but it also enables us to hope and love.”
