Erin Forler

LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Erin has always felt that social work was her calling and has been practicing since 2006.  Erin
graduated from the Master of Social Work program at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada
where she completed an integrated focus in clinical social work and community development.  Erin
has practiced in a variety of settings including child welfare, schools and non-profits but the bulk of
her experience is in multi-disciplinary health care settings and in private practice.

Erin prides herself on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in her therapy sessions,
punctuated by a little well-timed humor. She wants every client to leave the session with something
practical to take into their everyday life: whether it’s a new revelation about yourself, coping skills or
greater sense of peace. Erin has significant training and experience in using DBT and CBT to treat
a variety of issues including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, mood fluctuation, interpersonal and
relationships challenges. She also uses CBT-I to specifically treat insomnia and sleep disturbances
as she is big believer that better sleep leads to better mental health and overall quality of life.  Erin
has also been practicing EMDR since 2019 and uses the technique to assist clients in alleviating the
effects of a wide variety of traumatic or aversive experiences and author new beliefs about
themselves and foster resilience. Erin customizes client treatment plans to help them achieve their
goals.

For the therapists and social workers out there, Erin also offers clinical supervision to LMSW’s in
need of supervision hours or looking to learn and gain clinical perspective. She also is an EMDRIA-
Approved EMDR Consultant assisting other therapists in honing the art of integrating EMDR into
their clinical practice.

In her free time, Erin enjoys yoga, spending time hiking, listening to live music or curling up with a
favorite movie or show.  Always on the quest to make food her family will actually eat, she can also
be found searching for new recipe ideas, attempting to make them or turning them into an epic
“leftovers pizza”.
