Erin Carlson-Jones, LCSW

I'm Erin Carlson-Jones, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #61727), licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. For over two decades I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, recovery, relationship challenges, and life's many transitions.

Long before I became a therapist, I worked with animals. That experience taught me something I still carry into every session: healing cannot be forced. It grows through safety, trust, presence, and connection. Whether working with people or animals, the conditions for healing are remarkably similar.

Throughout my career I've worked in community mental health, crisis intervention, nonprofit leadership, clinical supervision, and private practice. These experiences have shaped a compassionate, grounded approach that honors both the science of psychotherapy and the innate wisdom each person brings to their own healing.

My work integrates evidence-based psychotherapy, EMDR, somatic approaches, mindfulness, and therapeutic sound. While each modality offers something unique, they all serve the same purpose: helping the nervous system find safety, creating space for insight, and supporting meaningful, lasting change.

I also know something about trudging the road to happy destiny. That road is rarely straight, and it is rarely walked alone. It is an honor to walk alongside people as they rediscover their resilience, reclaim their stories, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and whole.

Whether you are seeking psychotherapy, a restorative sound journey, or an integrative approach that includes both, my intention is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
