Life can be so complicated. The ups, downs, and all arounds can sometimes be debilitating, confusing and all out frustrating. Life’s turbulence can also make you feel you’ve lost control and perhaps has left you struggling to navigate through obstacles. I would love to partner with you to help you realize the strength and resilience you have within to overcome and to manage. I teach vital tools to use in everyday life such as stress and anger management, coping skills, and the recognization of thought patterns that may affect your behaviors and emotions.

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.

I have been working with individuals and groups since 2000. I am an expert in treating substance abuse and anger management. I am comfortable treating a diverse range of people suffering from anxiety, depression, stress management, PTSD, and relationship problems. I mostly use cognitive behavioral therapy and therapeutic horsemanship to resolve issues. I offer parenting and anger management classes. I am a very patient and optimistic individual.

6-8 sessions may be all you need. Do you often think/say to yourself: “I should know this?” “I’ve read all the self-help books.” “I’ve done therapy in the past.” "I was doing great." “What are you going to tell me that I don’t already know?” or "I have never done this before" I get it. I work with negative, self-limiting beliefs and past traumas that may be holding you back.

Are you a parent that is feeling overwhelmed or exhausted? Do your child's emotional or behavioral problems dominate your day? If your child or family is facing challenges, I'm here to help! I see children ages 4-16 presenting a variety of issues including anxiety, behavior problems, depression, anger management, grief and loss, trauma, adjustment issues, and more.

My ideal client is an individual who is dealing with low self-esteem, past trauma affecting current goals, coping skills, setting boundaries, family conflict, parental issues, anger management, etc. Some struggle with managing stress and expressing their feelings to others because of fear of judgment. They grew up in a household that strived for perfectionism, felt like a failure, and felt like they let people down. They have difficulty expressing their feelings to others because they fear judgment.

Feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? Relationship problems? Stress at home or work? Struggling with codependency? Counseling can help! I treat adults, teens, and couples suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and addictions. I also work with families, couples, and individuals who struggle with relationship problems, including codependency. If someone you love is addicted or suffering from serious mental illness, you may need help managing your relationship. Don't give up hope! Counseling can be educational, encouraging, and empowering for you.

My goal as an eclectic counselor is to help others grow, regain peace, joy and healing in their lives by providing empathy, encouragement and support. I help my clients define the tools needed to overcome obstacles, deescalate situations, make better choices and negotiate positive outcomes to be the best they can be via individual and group counseling. I am a dedicated, knowledgeable counselor with experience working with adults of all ages from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds using clinically tested and evidence-based interventions.

I enjoy guiding you toward achieving your goals. I'm flexible and easy-going while always having a definitive plan for how you're going to reach your goals. I often giving worksheets & between session suggestions (homework) to further your progress. Becoming unstuck from the past is often needed for present and future happiness. Traumas, depression, anxiety, anger, low-self-esteem, or psychosis are common challenges which will impede contentment. With barriers greatly reduced or removed, people are free to live their lives as they choose. To contact me please EMAIL so I can quickly find and see your message.

I have 16 years of clinical experience in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, anger, relationship issues, and most mental health disorders. Wellness is possible for everyone no matter what they have had to walk through. Coping is possible, but healing is essential to move beyond the places we become stuck.

Are you seeking an answer to your problems? Is anger controlling the way you want to live life? Are you dissatisfied with life and don't know why? If so, I am interested in helping you. I believe that through exploring one's life experiences, both past and present, people find the solutions to their most difficult challenges.
