Erin Haentjens

Erin Haentjens practices a body-centered, movement-oriented approach to psychotherapy that attends to mind, body, and spirit. She guides clients toward greater trust in their own intuition and helps them cultivate a healthier relationship with their bodies and sense of self. The increased awareness that emerges from this work often supports authentic self-acceptance, stronger feelings of connection, and renewed confidence.

She creates a supportive and safe atmosphere, offering space for clients to navigate life in ways that feel right for them while helping them recognize and build on existing strengths and internal resources. Erin works with individuals and families managing depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, eating disorders, addiction, and major life transitions.

Erin brings over eight years of clinical and community experience with children, adolescents, and adults. Her background includes facilitating life skills camps for incarcerated and at-risk youth, providing counseling in schools, homes, group homes, and foster care settings, co-facilitating a women’s therapy group, and offering individual therapy to adults. She has also worked with athletes and people recovering from injuries.

In addition to clinical practice, Erin has experience supporting and coaching athletes across age groups and abilities. Drawing on her own experience as a collegiate and semi-professional athlete, she understands how athletic identities, training, and injuries intersect with life-trauma and body experience. This perspective informs her particular commitment to helping individuals and athletes rebuild resilience and well-being from the inside out.

She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California and holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a somatic specialization, along with a graduate certificate in Exercise and Sport Performance, both from John F. Kennedy University.
