Erin Newman(She/Her/Hers)

I work with adults navigating the effects of complex trauma, chronic stress/burnout, depression, anxiety, and substance use issues. Many of the people I see are looking for more than talk therapy and feel drawn to mind–body approaches. In our work, we explore not only thoughts and emotions, but also how experiences live in the body, creating new pathways for resilience and connection.

As a trauma therapist, I am certified in EMDR and also offer Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) —either on its own for complex PTSD or alongside EMDR. I also draw from Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion to support healing. My goal is to help clients establish or restore safety in their bodies and relationships so they can reconnect with their authentic selves.

EMDR helps the brain heal from overwhelming experiences that feel "stuck." We start by building tools to help you regulate your nervous system to a calm state. From there, we use bilateral stimulation to gently activate the brain's natural healing process. This allows distressing memories to be reprocessed in a way that reduces their emotional charge and opens up new, more adaptive ways of experiencing yourself & your life. Healing from complex trauma involves more than reducing distress. It's about enhancing your ability to move toward a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to you.

After nearly 30 years in New England (Boston and Providence), I recently returned to my hometown of Buffalo, NY. I see clients in person in Western New York and via telehealth in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. I offer weekly or biweekly sessions for new clients and monthly sessions for those in longer-term work.
