SSM Health Behavioral Health offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), specifically designed for young people struggling with mental, emotional, and behavioral problems. Our Youth and Family IOP aims to help teens reduce symptoms through developing skills to promote self-awareness, and emotional regulation. Our team understands the complexity of mental and behavioral issues and we believe it’s imperative to take a comprehensive approach to caring for each person to strengthen the whole family system.

My name is Erin Chilson, and I have my Master’s degree in counseling from the University of Missouri-Saint Louis. I have been providing mental health treatment to adults, children, couples, and groups, dealing with anxiety, depression, crisis situations, childhood disorders, autism, ADD/ADHD, relationship issues, anger management and more. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral approaches. I feel that it is important to work with clients by creating a safe, positive, and trusting environment, in order for the client to be heard and to feel validated. I look forward to meeting with you.

Are you overwhelmed with parenting responsibilities or job stress? Is depression or anxiety keeping you from enjoying life? Are relationships or grief keeping you from moving forward? Are you eating or injuring yourself to cope with life's challenges? If so, I can offer a safe place to process these experiences and increase your ability to cope. I prefer a practical approach and frequently use solution focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy. I use homework assignments and psycho-educational techniques when appropriate.

It is my passion to help clients experience restoration and refreshment for empowerment of spirit, soul, and body. Let your journey to healing and wholeness be guided by a counselor with wisdom and compassion. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups in a variety of counseling specialties.

Change does not occur by magic but through courage. You may want to change by tomorrow or you just may want to window shop what change might look like in your life. Wherever you are at in process of change I can collaborate with you on the goals that you wish to achieve. With almost 20 years of experience in psychotherapy practice as well as post-graduate certified training and supervision in a multitude of therapeutic modalities, I would be honored to serve you in the empathic, and collaborative process of change.

I look forward to helping my clients develop the skills they need to improve their life for the better. I encourage my clients to dig deep into their own meaning of life and what their purpose is.

WELCOME to Ellie Mental Health in South County STL. I'm so happy that you are here and are ready to start your or your loved ones mental health journey. I am the Clinic Director and would love to help you connect with one of my wonderfully, talented clinicians. We believe counseling can be a safe place to begin this healing. Myself and my clinicians aim to bring an authentic approach that includes humor, compassion, acceptance and creativity to the therapy room.

Clients who desire a positive change in their lives and the willingness work on themselves are who I am looking for. Clients who are struggling with a life change, trauma or just feel stuck are where I enjoy helping the most.

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the different aspects of life we're somehow supposed to juggle? Do your unpredictable moods and anxiety affect your relationships? Have you ever felt like you just don't know what the next step should be in your life? You can overcome these challenges. And you don't have to do it alone. I specialize in helping those with anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles take those next steps with confidence, repair relationships, and bring growth and new insight to their lives.

No matter how big or small, we all struggle from time to time with life's challenges. When those challenges become overwhelming, it often helps to speak with a professional in a safe and supportive environment so one can make decisions, problem solve, and move toward personal goals. I provide counseling for a variety of emotional and behavioral concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship problems, and codependency. I use a variety of treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailored to meet the needs of each client and family.
