Erin Neill
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I’m pretty upbeat and often use humor in my sessions. I'm a trauma specialist. I also see clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and more.
I am a trauma specialist with experience seeing clients with a range of issues from childhood abuse or neglect, sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, accidents, natural disasters, survivors of violence, and first responders. I am trained and fully certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well as trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—the top two gold standard treatments for trauma exposure and PTSD. CBT is also used to treat anxiety and depression, and I have a wealth of experience treating these conditions as well. I created HEART Counseling because I believe that health and healing can be achieved through education, active participation in your treatment, and the use of effective, researched-based treatments. I see everyone from kids as young as 9, teenagers, college students, young adults, and adults. I’m also particularly passionate about perinatal mental health and working with parents at all stages. I care deeply for my clients and am passionate about helping them live their best lives.
