Erin Dabrowski (she/her)

My clients often tell me that they appreciate my sense of humor and my ability to be down-to-earth and practical. I believe that laughter is essential to healing, and I strive to create an environment where my clients feel safe enough to laugh, even in the midst of difficult emotions. By working together in a trusting, supportive relationship, we can navigate life’s challenges with greater ease. Some of my favorite approaches include teaching “everyday” mindfulness techniques and breaking down challenges with organization, work-life balance and other life stressors. I will also help you to understand how your nervous system impacts your beliefs and behaviors. I understand what a big step it is reach out to a therapist and I'm happy to support you taking this brave step. When I’m not counseling, I am keeping up with my vegetable garden, spending time with my family, and seeing live comedy and music. I also love brunch, the Buffalo Bills, and being a part of the local theater community.

I started my career 10 years ago as a school counselor and family systems in-home therapist. In addition, to loving my work with folks of all ages who are neurodivergent and queer identifying, I am a strong advocate for parents and families who are navigating the complexities of community and school services. I strive to always be genuine and create an atmosphere where clients can feel comfortable and quickly at ease. In session, I often bring together both practicality and humor. I believe all this leads to a strong rapport with a high level of trust and understanding. During sessions, we will focus on building a support network and discovering strengths and personal insights while practicing autonomy and self-advocacy skills. I am well versed in cognitive and solution-focused techniques, and weave this together with somatic and experiential approaches to support regulation of your nervous system and emotions.
