Erin Hartley
She/Her/Hers
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTShe/Her/Hers
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTErin Hartley is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in Seattle who works virtually with clients across California, Washington, Oregon, and several other states. Erin has practiced for over a decade and received advanced training from the University of San Francisco's (UCSF) world-renowned university hospital and clinics.
Erin’s specialty is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or limiting beliefs holding them back in crucial areas of their life. She is particularly sensitive to clients with early attachment trauma, unresolved losses, complicated relationships with their parenting figures, and those in the middle of significant life transitions. Many of Erin's clients have worked in demanding professions (big tech, healthcare, or startups) and have experienced burnout or need support and guidance to live a satisfying and meaningful life outside of work.
Erin’s therapeutic approach draws from an electric range of science-supported therapies that combine mindfulness, acceptance, self-compassion, and a greater understanding of the intimate and unique connection between our thoughts, feelings, and desires. She believes real transformation occurs when we access and integrate information in the body and brings this holistic approach to her sessions.
In her sessions, Erin empowers her clients with tangible tools and skills to practice outside the session to feel greater confidence, self-mastery, and meaning. She’s committed to creating a safe and affirming environment to meet all her clients' unique and diverse needs and goals.
