About Erin Chu

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. My goal is to develop a safe, relaxed environment in which people feel welcome to share at their own pace. I look at counseling through a multidimensional lens, focusing on how all areas of wellness – emotional, cognitive, social, physical, and medical – impact a person. Working primarily with individuals aged 17+, I have a background of working with the following: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, body image, grief, toxic relationships, and the struggles with people pleasing/perfectionism. Coming from a background in geriatric care, I also adept in working with the unique emotional struggles related to chronic pain and illness. I utilize an eclectic approach – which often incorporates elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) – that is tailored to each individual client.
