Erin Haentjens , LMFT

Erin Haentjens is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who integrates body-centered and movement-oriented psychotherapy to support healing across mind, body, and spirit. She helps clients cultivate a trusting relationship with their bodies and develop intuitive awareness that can lead to greater self-acceptance, connection, and confidence. Erin emphasizes practical, embodied work that invites clients to notice internal resources and build resilience from the inside out.

Her approach offers a supportive space where individuals and families can explore life challenges at their own pace while recognizing and strengthening existing strengths. She brings a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a somatic specialization and a Graduate Certificate in Exercise and Sport Performance, combining clinical training with an understanding of physical performance and movement.

Erin provides psychotherapy to people experiencing depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, eating and food-related issues, addiction, and major life transitions. With more than eight years of experience, she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in clinical and community settings, including life skills camps for incarcerated and at-risk youth, school- and home-based counseling, group home and foster care services, women’s therapy groups, and individual psychotherapy.

She also has experience coaching and supporting athletes across levels and abilities. Drawing on her background as a collegiate and semi-professional athlete, Erin understands how athletic roles, training, and injury can shape identity and body experience, and she is particularly committed to helping clients and athletes rebuild resilience after physical injury.
