Erin Schnurbusch, LCSW

I am an experienced therapist and supportive guide committed to helping you navigate the hurdles of adulthood and motherhood with real talk, zero judgment, and a focus on your unique path to growth.

Sometimes, you just need someone to talk to—someone who isn't your mom, your hairstylist, or a friend who might be too close to the situation. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Ripple Mental Health, I provide a space where you can be your authentic self without the "stuffy" or rigid atmosphere often associated with traditional therapy. My approach is laid-back and supportive, but I’m not afraid to apply gentle pressure when needed to help you move forward. I believe the most effective therapy is built on a genuine relationship, and I strive to be a person you actually look forward to chatting with each week.

I specialize in working with adults navigating life’s most challenging transitions. Whether you are a college student struggling with the pressures of newfound independence, a professional facing a major career shift, or a mother navigating the complexities of perinatal and postpartum mental health, I am here to guide you. My background includes extensive experience with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol, I blend various modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed tools—to create a roadmap for healing that is uniquely yours.

I like to think of myself as your "life shaman" or guide, helping you find what truly lights you up so you can live a life that aligns with your core values. Finding the right therapist is a bit like dating; we might look great together on paper, but the real magic happens when we connect. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a match. Let’s work together to clear the mental hurdles so you can get back to enjoying your life.
