Professional statement

Erin Hartley is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in Seattle, providing virtual counseling services across California, Washington, Oregon, and New York. With over a decade of experience and advanced training from the University of San Francisco's esteemed hospital and clinics, Erin is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion.

She specializes in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and self-doubt—barriers that can impede personal and professional growth. Erin is particularly attuned to those facing childhood emotional trauma, complicated relationships with parenting figures, and limiting beliefs tied to feelings of shame or worthlessness. She finds fulfillment in working with clients who identify as seekers, eager to gain deeper insights into themselves to enhance their relationships.

Many of Erin’s clients seek therapy while navigating important life transitions, such as starting new careers, beginning or ending relationships, relocating, or processing grief and loss. She also supports individuals in demanding professions, including big tech, healthcare, and startups, where burnout can hinder a sense of meaning outside of work.

Erin’s therapeutic approach draws from a range of evidence-based practices, blending mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion. She believes true transformation occurs when individuals access and integrate the wisdom of their bodies, making this holistic perspective central to her sessions. Clients work collaboratively with Erin to explore the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and desires.

For those ready to take the next step toward healing and personal growth, Erin invites you to reach out. She offers a limited number of in-person sessions in downtown Seattle, as well as virtual appointments.


Message to clients

Whether you’re new to therapy or ready to start a new chapter in your life, feeling safe and supported by your therapist is essential. A space that fosters curiosity and compassion can be transformative.

I specialize in helping clients who are experiencing unresolved depression, anxiety, perfectionism, work burnout, early attachment trauma, and low self-esteem. If you’re feeling stuck in any of these areas or grappling with limiting beliefs that hold you back in your career, relationships, or personal growth, I encourage you to explore the possibility of working together.

Connection, curiosity, and compassion are the cornerstones of my therapeutic approach. I engage actively in each session, bringing warmth, humor, and a non-judgmental attitude. While I’m not afraid to be direct when needed, you’ll often find me asking thoughtful questions. This curiosity helps you examine negative or outdated beliefs, view change through an optimistic lens, and break free from feelings of shame or hopelessness. Together, we’ll work on taking affirmative action steps to deepen your connection with yourself.

I believe that real and lasting change occurs in the moments of your life between sessions. If you’re seeking new strategies and skills to feel better, reduce anxiety and stress, or cultivate greater confidence, know that this focus will be central to our work together.

If you’re interested in exploring how we can work together, please reach out.
