About

Therapy is not about fixing what's broken. It's about understanding what's been carrying the weight.

I'm Erin Bradshaw, a licensed clinical social worker based in Portland's Hawthorne district. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the quiet accumulation of stress that can make even the most capable people feel overwhelmed.

My approach is relational and collaborative. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the primary vehicle for change — a space where you can be honest, messy, and fully seen. I draw from evidence-based modalities including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR, tailoring each treatment plan to your unique needs and goals.

How we can work together

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions focused on your personal challenges — anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, grief, or the everyday weight of existing in a world that rarely slows down.

50-minute sessions · Weekly or biweekly

Couples Therapy

For partners seeking to deepen their connection, navigate conflict with more grace, or rebuild trust after a rupture. A neutral space where both voices are heard.

75-minute sessions · Flexible scheduling

Family Therapy

Support for families navigating complex dynamics, life transitions, or communication breakdowns. Helping each member find their voice within the system.

50–75-minute sessions · All family structures welcome

EMDR Therapy

Evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD. EMDR helps the brain process and integrate distressing memories so they no longer dominate the present.

50-minute sessions · Integrated into ongoing therapy

Approach

Grounded in evidence,
guided by empathy

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Each person brings a unique history, a distinct way of being in the world, and their own timeline for healing. My role is to walk alongside you — offering tools, insight, and the steady presence of someone who truly listens.

  • 01 Clinical Excellence — Trained in CBT, psychodynamic, and EMDR modalities with ongoing supervision and professional development.
  • 02 Relational Depth — The therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing. You deserve a therapist who sees you, not just diagnoses you.
  • 03 Cultural Humility — Your identity, background, and lived experience matter. I honor the intersections that shape who you are.
  • 04 Collaborative Goals — We set the pace and the direction. Therapy is a partnership, not a prescription.

— Client, Portland

"Couples therapy with Erin saved our relationship. We learned to communicate in ways we never thought possible. She holds space for both of us without taking sides — and that's exactly what we needed."
