​Erin Meason Stevens, LAPC, NCC

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a non-judgmental space where I can connect genuinely with clients to guide them towards a journey of healing. On this journey, I hope to help clients develop a deep connection with themselves and their capability to live a purposeful, fulfilled, healthy life. I have many years of experience counseling individuals diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, etc. I utilize a person-centered approach, and when necessary, will pull from various therapeutic modalities. In my work with clients, I often will incorporate meditative and mindfulness techniques to improve sustained focus, manage intrusive thoughts, and to help clients feel empowered. I look forward to helping you thrive!
