Erin Needham (she/her)

My Background and Approach

I specialize in complex developmental trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and depression. I assist you in exploring and transforming your internal reality to give birth to a freer and more authentic version of yourself. I listen for the undercurrents at the root of your suffering to elicit change at a core level. My approach is one of deep attunement. I specialize in weaving Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy with Depth Psychotherapy, Transpersonal Therapy, and Dynamic Trauma Modalities. Theories and modalities that inform my work include Relational Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, EMDR, Attachment Theory, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Neurobiology, Existential Therapy. I often utilize parts work and am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). The parts work model that I utilize is the Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS). I find that if offers internalization of Self energy much more quickly than IFS.

My Approach to Helping

The seeds of transformation are often found in the places that feel most difficult and overwhelming. These symptoms are not just disturbances; they are messages from the psyche, guiding you toward greater wholeness. By listening to these messages, we can uncover the wisdom and potential for healing within you. There is gold hiding in the shadowy aspects of ourselves. Our fears, shame, anger, and grief can become the fuel for expanding consciousness. By facing these internal barriers with compassion, we can untangle life energy from stuck places, allowing our true capacities to unfold. You are not defined by your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, or experiences. You are the awareness that observes these changing phenomena. As we cultivate a more spacious sense of awareness, it becomes easier to understand that we are not separate from the rest of existence. By releasing outdated identifications and limiting beliefs, we can connect more deeply with our inherent wholeness.
