Manager of Medical Community Outreach
(She/Her/Hers)
Erin Bostrom joins us in Charlotte and is a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate who graduated from the Joint Master of Social Work program at UNCG and NCA&T. Here she focused on multicultural clinical practice. Here she also learned the importance of diversity, inclusion, intersectionality, culture, and being comfortable with being uncomfortable. She is the Assistant Manager of the Charlotte office and the Manager of Medical Community Outreach.
Erin has been with Awakenings since early 2018 and has since grown her passion working with individuals and couples on issues relating to substance abuse, addiction (porn, gambling, eating disorders, etc.), sexual trauma and abuse, life transitions, college/school issues and transitions, self-esteem, relational and marital discord, communication, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder. She has a special interest in younger adults and couples.
She uses several theories such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and emotion focused therapy (EFT). Her main approach to therapy is to create a safe space, free of judgement and criticism, and joining with and really listening to her patient’s concerns. Erin’s focus is for her clients to feel heard. She is LGBTQAI-friendly.
Fun Facts: In her down time, she loves making traditional Asian cuisine with her Vietnamese grandmother and family, playing board games, and watching documentaries and new movies with her partner. If you ask her what she really loves, she will tell you that she loves re-watching her favorite TV shows and movies by herself when she can.
