I am passionate and dedicated to supporting teens, adults, and families through life's challenges of school, work, relationships, and uncertainties. Healing past or current wounds of hurt, guilt and disappointment requires courage. Finding more effective ways to address current negative thinking patterns, beliefs, and experiences requires commitment. A collaborative therapeutic relationship in a non-judgemental and supportive environment allows the opportunity to find balance and hope as you achieve competency in new coping mechanisms. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed or confused, you are welcome as you are.

I provide individual therapy to adults and have significant experience working with graduate and undergraduate college students, having trained and worked at Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Michigan. I specialize in working with anxiety, identity development concerns, shame, depression, ADHD and executive function concerns, stage of life transitions, project management, and dissertation completion. I also have experience working with substance use concerns; men's issues such as intimacy, emotional expression, and anger; family concerns/conflict; and interpersonal trauma.

I encourage, support, and facilitate the process of personal growth and change. I believe in straightforward and honest communication. My clients generally describe me as caring, empathetic, and down to earth. I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples, both in the U.S. and abroad. I am trained in a number of therapies, including Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral, and Client Centered, and have additional training in bipolar disorders, substance abuse, DBT, crisis intervention, and EMDR for the treatment of PTSD.

By looking backward, I can begin to live forward by becoming who I really am. Attachment shapes behavior and thinking. Survival skills from earlier life become maladaptive barriers to growth. Addiction and mental health problems often reflect a False Self. If I have the courage to confront the masking qualities of this False Self, I am ready for change and to allow the True Self, my authentic and spiritual nature, to emerge. While we cannot make these changes alone, readiness is indicated by my willingness to engage beyond therapy in Twelve Step programs or other means of engaging with others.

Hi. My name is Kathleen Erz. I am the owner of Erz Psychotherapy Services. I believe direct, honest, and caring communication is essential to effective therapy.

**Update: In-office appointments are now available** We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are" ~Anaïs Nin... Anybody can get stuck. We all have blind spots and darkness, but we don't have to live there. The first step is asking for help. I believe that we're wired for love and belonging, for connection, but that as a culture we've never been more disconnected: from ourselves, from our lives, and from each other. And in disconnection we shut down. Asking for help isn't weakness, it's an acknowledgement that we just need some relief.
