Real change comes from understanding why our own impulses and behaviors hold us back from experiencing our true potential and discovering the skills to create the change we seek. I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy that helps people find the answers that were inside them all along. As a therapist, I am intuitive and compassionate, yet direct, and employ a mix of modalities, including traditional psychotherapy, cognitive therapy and mindfulness techniques.

It is no easy task to lift the shadow of depression, to rebuild your life after a traumatic experience, or to make healthy decisions when chronically stressed, emotionally dysregulated, or when experiencing a relationship/identity crisis. My compassionate, engaging approach and incisive reflection creates a nourishing space for individuals to endeavor on their healing journeys.

Research shows the relationship between the client(s) and therapist is the most important component in creating change and relief from distress. My hope to create a safe space for you to explore yourself and your relationship(s) and for us to work together respectfully, openly, and honestly to achieve your goals. I am passionate about working with couples and have advanced training in Emotionally-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). I enjoy working on marital/couple issues, LGBTQ+-related concerns, life transitions, existential issues, and gender identity. I also like working with mental health professionals and therapists!

Maybe you're looking to heal relationship wounds. You could be seeking some premarital counsel. Or, you may just want to focus on and care for yourself in this season. Regardless of what brings you in, I would be honored to walk alongside you in the journey and explore resolve together. Clients of mine describe my approach as a gentle balance of warmth and directness. I care deeply about seeing my client's meet their goals and live their lives to the fullest potential.

Do you or your family feel tired, stuck in chaos and ready to throw in the towel? Adoptive families may face unique challenges that require a supportive professional who has personal and professional knowledge of attachment adaptations, trauma responses, anxiety, grief, and the adoption circle. As a parent of three, all adopted transracially, I have faced both the joy and struggle of parenting. When working with you, I will bring my personal and professional experience using a sensitive, non-judgmental approach as I help you find renewed hope and joy for yourself and your family.

In this difficult time, please reach out if you would like support for managing anxiety, depression, and PTSD. In times of unknowing having a place to be heard and supported is essential. I approach therapy as a partnership built to support you through your journey of mental wellness and self-discovery. I will work with you to make changes where you can and accept what can not be changed.

We all encounter times in life where we are unexpectedly thrown off balance. Maybe you have recently suffered a jarring or traumatic event, or are going through a transition that feels more difficult than you had imagined. Or maybe past traumas or hurts have come roaring to the surface, impacting the way you relate to your spouse, your children, friends or family. Therapy offers a connected space in which you can develop awareness and insight into the relationship between past and present, gain resources for regulating stress and other overwhelming feelings, and weave new patterns of relating to yourself and the people you love.

Do you feel alone, disconnected, checked out, or overwhelmed? Not sure where to begin? I am the kind of clinician who can help you find the starting place right for you, meet you where you already are, and go with you where you need to go. I center my practice on relationships: relationship with friends, family, culture, and one's self. In doing work together, it is important to me that I meet you where you are at. In our work together, we will find your language to relate to others better, as well yourself.

As a human navigating this ever-changing world, each of us holds knowledge, power, and peace within ourselves. Especially now amidst health unrest, we might not always feel this way. My therapeutic goal is to hold space for you, support you, and help you enrich your life as part of mental and emotional wellness. My therapeutic vision is to convey "every day therapy for every day people”. I am committed to social justice and believe that larger social dynamics can influence a person's mental health. I strive to have a validating space for all identities, and I advocate for anti-oppression on both community and systemic platforms.

It's important to me to individualize care to best fit your needs and address the goals that are most important to you. Having trouble knowing what your goals are? There is no such thing as a problem without a goal, so if you are facing problems in your life it's likely because there are feelings, and experiences you want in your life. The more in touch we become with our wants, needs and values, the more satisfaction we can get from our lives.

I am Rebecca Hae Rin Erickson, MA, LAMFT, and owner of Hae Rin Counseling, LLC. I support individuals, couples, families, children, and groups via online counseling during COVID19, however this will transition to in-home therapy and community-based therapy as the world becomes healthier.

As a therapist, I am committed to empowering clients to build fulfilling, values-rich lives. I work with individuals and couples striving to improve themselves and their relationships.

I value collaboration, so we will work together to develop insight, identify personal values, and implement skills that will foster growth specific to you.

I don't believe that therapy has to be painful and it should not induce shame. I practice in a way that will invite you to name what is important to you and together we will discover, recover and enlist available resources that will help you address the problems in your life.
