ERIN HANNIGAN, MA, LCPC, NCC

I am an experienced individual, couples, and family counselor. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) to help my clients learn how to decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

Coming to counseling is a difficult decision to make. It takes strength to admit we need help. I admire my clients for seeking help and hope to create an environment where they feel empowered for coming to counseling. I enjoy working with clients from all different walks of life. I like to create a collaborative atmosphere and respect that I will learn just as much from you as you will learn from me.

I specialize in working with couples and families. I believe that issues are not just created by one person but created and sustained by the individual and the people around them. In working with not just one person but also their partner or family members, I create a more nurturing environment to encourage change that everyone benefits from.

My practice is called Simply Focused because I believe in keeping things simple while staying focused on your goals. Life can be overwhelming and complicated at times. However, when we look at our lives in terms of is this helping me reach my goals or is it preventing me from reaching my goals? Life suddenly seems a lot simpler.
