I’m Erin Heald, LMHC, NCC.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, neurodevelopmental differences, and identity-related stress.
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to make sense of what they’ve been carrying. My role is not to change who you are, but to help you understand your experiences and develop ways of moving through them with more clarity and stability.
My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
I believe therapy should be a space where your identity, experiences, and perspective are respected—not something that needs to be explained or justified.
I tend to work in a way that is steady, collaborative, and paced intentionally.
That means:
we move at a pace that feels manageable
we focus on what feels most relevant to you
we build understanding alongside practical tools
I work with both individuals and parents, depending on what support is needed.
For some, therapy is a place to process experiences that still feel present.
For others, it’s about understanding patterns, reducing overwhelm, or navigating transitions.
I provide in-person therapy in North Tonawanda, NY and virtual therapy throughout New York State.
If this feels like a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out or schedule a consultation.
