Fort Collins, CO 80524
The majority of my background and training has been working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced significant trauma in their lives.
My name is Erin Thomas and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Colorado. In therapy, every client is different and has differing needs for the healing process to occur. This is why the most important step to me in working with a client is establishing a trusting relationship at the beginning of therapy so that I can understand how to help in the most effective way. Connecting with others in a way that supports them through difficult times in their lives has been my passion and I continue to look for new ways to help those who struggle.

I also enjoy working with adolescents and children, as well as adults.
I view counseling as a dynamic process between a client and therapist. My theoretical orientation is dependent upon what would be most appropriate for the client. I view each client as unique and I use techniques that are designed to meet that client's specific needs. I listen carefully to my clients so that I can empower, confront when appropriate, teach, encourage, and guide them so they can grow emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and socially. I respect the clients I work with. I want people to participate in a healing process without fear that they will be judged or coerced.

I work with children (6-17), young adults (18-24), couples and families.
I believe that people do the best with what they have. Trauma, stress, anxiety and adverse life experiences can, at times, derail us from being our “best”. My role as a therapist is to help you reach your pinnacle. I always work from a strengths-based and client-centered focus. The client is the expert of their own life, but I serve as an agent for change to assist in developing, applying and supporting the therapeutic growth. I have experience with children, teenagers, young adults (up to age 35), couples and families.

Virtual Only: Hi! I look forward to meeting you. During these unprecedented times, it can be much easier to feel isolated, depressed, or anxious. Talking with someone about these feelings takes strength and vulnerability. I hope to provide a safe place for you to explore feelings associated with stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, hopelessness, recovery, relationships, PTSD, new or past trauma, and much more. Many people feel isolated and alone right now, seeking connection and attempting to make sense of the world we live in today.

My ideal client is someone that is willing and wanting to transform their life. The greatest piece of artwork a person can create is an empowered, successful life. I have a large background with mental health and also working with adolescents and understanding how that stage of life can be very challenging. No one is immune to having things completely shake up their life, but in having support that empowers them to find their way and regain mastery in creating the life they want, that transformation is extremely possible.
