Erin Vasquez, MA
Doctoral Practicum Student
Under clinical supervision of Erica Haines, PsyD
Sometimes the way you've been coping stops working, and that's exactly when therapy can help.
Erin has found that people often come to therapy not because something is wrong with them, but because the ways they've learned to cope no longer fit. Or because life is asking something new of them. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in genuine curiosity about each person's story. She creates space to slow down, feel deeply understood, and explore not just what you're experiencing, but the patterns underneath it.
Before training as a clinician, Erin spent more than 15 years working in marketing and communications. Over time, she found herself increasingly drawn to the deeper psychological questions behind the people and dynamics she encountered. Questions about how relationships shape us, why patterns repeat, and what actually allows meaningful change to take hold created a strong curiosity that ultimately led her to pursue clinical psychology.
As the mother of an autistic child, Erin’s interest in supporting parents of neurodivergent children is both personal and professional. She understands that this experience can call upon every part of a parent—their love, resourcefulness, anxiety, identity, relationship history, intuition, and capacity to trust themselves. She is especially drawn to helping parents feel less alone, reconnect with their own inner lives, and care for themselves while navigating the complex work of supporting and advocating for their children.
Erin has a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults, developmental stages often defined by shifting relationships, uncertainties about who they are, and struggles with confidence and self-esteem. Her grounded, relational, attachment-informed approach is especially suited to this stage of life.
Erin’s Approach
Drawing from psychodynamic, relational, depth-oriented, trauma-informed, attachment-based, and somatic perspectives, Erin helps clients connect their past to their present while staying attentive to what's happening emotionally and physically in the here and now.
For Erin, meaningful therapy is about more than managing symptoms. It's a place to build real self-understanding, develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and create change that comes from authenticity, not self-judgment.
