Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
I’m Erin McMahon - a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults in-person in Lakewood (and online throughout Colorado).
I am grateful to have long-term therapeutic relationships with people in which they can truly come to flourish. I practice relational depth therapy informed by modern psychoanalytic and client-centered thought. My work is deeply relational, guided by the belief that the therapeutic relationship can be a profoundly transformative container for healing. I am also trained in somatic trauma treatments such as EMDR and am IFS-informed.
