Erin Ballard
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, supervisor, and group practice owner. Relationship health and wellness is my specialty.
I have 10 years of experience specializing in couples therapy and working with individuals facing relational stressors, wounds and insecurity. From premarital therapy to helping couples navigate separation/divorce, I hope to help foster health and wellness for you and your family. Research shows that relationships impact our health just as much as diet and exercise, and I know that instability within the home and within our attachment with our partner/spouse can significantly impact our mood and functioning. Whether you are facing communication challenges, infidelity, adjustment to parenthood, challenges with in-laws, life/family adjustments, and/or desire to improve connection and intimacy, therapy is a wonderful place to work towards the changes you are longing to see. As a supervisor and practice owner, I will work to get you connected with one of my interns or associate therapists in the event that I am unable to meet your scheduling needs or in the event that my caseload is full.
