Welcome to Erik H. Connolly Counseling, LLC. When life presents challenges, it's common to feel weighed down by thoughts and behaviors that hinder our progress, affecting our relationships, work, and self-perception. The good news is that each of us holds immense potential to attain the change and growth we desire, along with self-compassion.
ABOUT
After helping to raise three children and dedicating twenty years to the e-commerce world, I became a mental health counselor. This transformation has been fulfilling, as I relish assisting people in achieving their desired growth.
I embrace a person-centered approach within a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns with genuine curiosity and positive regard. I truly believe that everyone possesses remarkable strengths, even if emotional challenges can sometimes obscure them. My hope is to help clients enlist these strengths, empowering them to tap into their inner resources during tough times.
EDUCATION
I hold a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from Pepperdine University.
I have completed Level 2 partial training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) from The Center for Creative Mindfulness, a training organization approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). Additionally, I have completed Level 2 training in The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy from the Gottman Center and intensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
As a Registered Associate with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, I am supervised by Maria A. Connolly (no familial relation), Licensed Professional Counselor (license number C1762).
Additionally, I partner with Mindful Therapy Group, which allows me to hold sessions online (telehealth). Through this relationship, I am able to work with clients throughout Oregon with a range of health insurance carriers. See my list of accepted insurances on the Session Information page.
For my work with Mindful Therapy Group I am supervised by Veronica Valenzuela, Licensed Professional Counselor (license number C5585).
