Erin Beringer (Bonner), Owner, Clinician

My passion is helping individuals find their path to wellness. I believe in holistic wellness and that integrating various modalities of treatment enhances the benefits of therapy. I encourage my clients to be curious about how they can cultivate lifestyle changes to think, emote and behave in ways that foster personal wellbeing and contentment. 

I am passionate about my role in helping others navigate their individual paths to wellness. In my 20s I lost my younger brother and then my mother and through my own therapeutic journey I discovered my calling to help others work on understanding and processing emotions and achieve their own personal growth.

I specialize in treating individuals who experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, cPTSD, emotion dysregulation, grief, OCD, and in helping individuals learn to love themselves and develop strong relationships with the people in their lives. I have a special interest in working with individuals who identify as highly sensitive and/or who experience emotions at a higher intensity than the average person (regardless of diagnosis). 

I also love to work with parents of highly emotional teens and children to help them learn strategies to evolve their parenting to work more effectively.

In addition to providing general therapy, I also offer sport psychology for equestrians. I myself am an avid equestrian and have been competing in the sport since I was young. In my teens I was highly competitive and rode with a prolific coach in the area. Working with a sport psychologist in my teens was pivotal in my success in the saddle and it is a passion of mine to help athletes in the equestrian world connect mental and emotional training with their physical training programs. If you need help overcoming mental and emotional blocks that impede performance, I may be the right therapist for you!

I work with adults and teens 14+.
