Erin Hamer, LCSW

Erin Hamer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 9 years of clinical experience. She earned both a bachelor’s degree and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Clark Atlanta University, concentrating on health and mental health, and brings that educational foundation to a broad counseling practice.

She approaches therapy with empathy and support, prioritizing a nonjudgmental and honest stance that many clients have found relatable. Her work spans relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and identity issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related challenges, anger management, career concerns, depression, and coaching. Erin also focuses on areas such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, control and family problems, infidelity, life purpose, multicultural and prejudice-related concerns, self-love, women’s issues, and young adult transitions.

Erin integrates client-centered principles with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. She has experience working with LGBTQ+ issues and with clients seeking faith-informed support, and her practice has included formats such as phone, video, and text sessions with much of her past availability in the evenings.

She is passionate about helping people deepen self-understanding as they navigate life’s challenges and aims to reduce stigma around mental health while empowering those she works with to grow and heal.
