Erin O’Connor

Seasons of life can bring immense joy and loss. Therapy honors the ups, downs, and in-betweens to help you feel whole. Whether it's your first time in therapy or your fifth, you deserve to feel seen and heard. I bring warmth, presence, and a space to feel held and affirmed, with all your identities, strengths, and struggles. Some days you may feel anxious and on edge; other days, it’s like you’re moving through fog. Maybe stress or trauma shows up in your body — through pain, migraines, or chronic conditions invisible to others. Or perhaps food and movement have become a source of pressure instead of peace, shaped by harmful diet culture. Whether you’re healing from sexual or emotional trauma, coping with health changes, or yearning for a more trusting relationship with your body, therapy invites us to pause and feel grounded again. I am especially passionate about serving students and professionals ages 18-40 as they navigate complex and often demanding transitions, and I've worked on a specialty counseling team at UC Berkeley for close to six years. I blend somatic, cognitive, and mindfulness practices and am an Accredited Certified Practitioner in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping), offering mind-body tools to release stress and trauma and support healing so you can feel safe and connected in your body, relationships, and community. Additionally, I work from a weight-inclusive, anti-diet culture framework. Let’s connect! I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so we can determine if I am the best therapist for your needs. While I am currently out of network with insurance plans, I am happy to provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
