About Erin
Erin Wilkinson, R. Psych. MA. MPhil. SEP.
I am a Registered Psychologist and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner providing services to adults across Alberta. My practice spans Clinical/Counselling and Forensic Psychology, with over nine years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of personal and psychological challenges.
I work from a client-centred and strength-based perspective. I have extensive experience supporting clients with trauma, stress management, anxiety and panic, depression, personality disorders, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, anger management, grief and loss, substance use, and identity exploration. My professional background includes work in community non-profit organizations, private practice, and institutional settings, offering individual, couples, and group counselling.
I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative and tailored to the individual. I take time to understand each client’s unique experiences and goals, and I personalize sessions to support meaningful change, and long-term wellbeing.
