Meet Erin
A place to feel more at home with yourself.
Erin Lockwood believes therapy can help people feel more at home with themselves. Before becoming a therapist, she worked as a teacher and children’s book editorial assistant. A curiosity about our inner lives, the stories we tell, and the ways we make sense of our experiences has connected each chapter of her work.
Today, Erin is a licensed professional counselor in Texas offering depth- and insight-oriented psychotherapy. Her approach makes room for exploration, creativity, and practical skill-building, with attention to how early experiences shape our sense of self and our relationships. Her goal is to create an environment where it feels safe to try.
Erin earned her M.A. in Counseling at St. Edward’s University, where she received the “Safe Connections” Professional Development Award.
Her work in correctional behavioral health has included individual and group therapy in a juvenile justice facility, risk assessment and crisis intervention in a large county jail, and case-management support for criminal defense attorneys representing indigent clients at their first court appearance after arrest.
Those experiences deepened her understanding of the challenges faced by people living with serious mental illness and by the teams working to support them. They also inform her consultation, client-support, and training work. A Certified Correctional Health Professional, Erin has served in scholar, mentor, and speaker roles with the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
Erin also holds an M.A. in English Education from New York University. She taught English in New York City and with Texas State University’s Upward Bound program. Her training in Child-Centered Play Therapy continues to shape her appreciation for creativity, connection, and the dignity of each person’s experience. She is especially inspired by Mr. Rogers’ respect for the experience of being a child.
Whether working with an individual, an attorney, or a team, Erin brings care, curiosity, and an appreciation for the complexity of being human.
