Meet Susan Erickson, MA, LSW

Staff Therapist

Virtual Sessions Only (Illinois residents)

Are you navigating a major life transition, feeling burned out at work, or struggling to support your child’s unique needs? You don’t have to face it alone.

I specialize in helping parents and educators — find clarity, balance, and resilience during overwhelming seasons of change.

As a therapist and school social worker, I understand firsthand the exhaustion that comes with caring for others while trying to hold everything together. Teachers in particular face unique pressures, and I provide a safe space to process stress, prevent burnout, and reconnect with purpose.

I am also passionate about supporting parents of neurodiverse children. Having attended IEP meetings on both sides of the table, I know the challenges families face at home and in the classroom. Together, we’ll build strategies that honor both your child’s growth and your own well-being.

At the heart of my practice is a simple truth: you deserve support, renewal, and hope as you move into your next chapter. Whether you’re redefining yourself after a life transition, navigating professional burnout, or parenting through complex challenges, I will walk with you as you reclaim confidence and create a life that feels sustainable and meaningful.
