Erin Hollerbach, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

I serve individual adults in Virginia and the District of Columbia through telehealth. I am neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and work with folks from a variety of cultural, racial, and religious identities. My philosophy is that my clients are the experts on their own lives, and I am here to collaborate on what will work best. My primary modality is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is highly effective for chronic illness support and medical trauma, sexual trauma, healing from ongoing abuse and neglect, caregiver burnout, anxiety conditions, depression, low self-worth, eating issues, body image concerns, and more. I have advanced EMDR training for chronic illnesses such as pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS), pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS), Long COVID, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), mold illness, autoimmune conditions, etc. I also have advanced EMDR training in working with dissociation that frequently accompanies trauma and sometimes shows up during the EMDR process. Many of my clients have tried other types of therapy. They've learned helpful skills and schema shifts, but find that they are still being activated or triggered in a way that feels out of their control. EMDR can get at stuck beliefs and trauma in a different type of way. It's time to start feeling better!
