Hello! My name is Erin Sadiq and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens. I am passionate about fostering resilience and emotional wellness across diverse populations.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, family systems, child/adolescent mental health, and use an integrative approach that may include CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. I am client-centered and work hard to create a safe, collaborative space for growth and healing.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of New Hampshire and maintain active licensure in Massachusetts. In addition to my clinical work, I am committed to ongoing professional development and community advocacy.
When not working, I love traveling, exploring new places, and soaking in the beauty of different cultures and experiences.

- Couples Welcome - In-Person or Online - Same daily fight? Navigating an affair? Deciding about separation? We explore building trust, safety and a sense of partnership. We look at painful patterns, but also see you both as individuals with desires in the relationship and in your lives. We can explore how patterns influence your lives together today and expand the parts that are serving you and evolve the ones that aren’t. The results may include building new boundaries, confronting shame and evolving relationship-narratives. I offer a safe, trusting space so that you both can feel settled and explore your relationship vulnerably.
Even when life feels stormy—or you’ve tried everything—deep peace, clarity, and wholeness are possible. Many of my clients gain meaningful insight and momentum, feel less anxious, and begin creating lasting change within 2 to 4 months of weekly therapy. Interweaving 25+ years as a professor specializing in philosophical psychology with 20+ years teaching mindfulness, yoga, and somatic integration, I offer advanced, highly tailored care for deep healing. My style is collaborative, warm, humorous, compassionate, and forthright.
I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship dynamics. Using a versatile clinical toolkit, we’ll uncover the root of persistent patterns and reconnect you with the wisdom of your mind and body.
I trained at McLean Hospital and the Harvard Teaching Hospital, where I developed excellent clinical skills. I was a psychotherapist at Baystate Medical Center, an urban, multicultural center for care, for 20 years. My specialization is helping people overcome their anxiety, build self-esteem, and guide clients to reach their desired goals. I bring a sense of curiosity, non-judgment, and positive energy to my work.
We all need connection, community, and the ability to be our authentic selves in order to thrive. Many of us are not provided these attachment needs in childhood, and we grow into adulthood burdened by this wounding, unsure of how to relate safely and from a place of wholeness. If you struggle to align your inner and outer worlds, find yourself repeating difficult relational patterns, or feel as if your authentic self must remain hidden, I would love to work with you. I am particularly interested in supporting the health of queer families and cooperatives.

management and therapy for children ages 5+, adolescents, and adults. I treat ADHD,

general psychiatric care. I offer in-person and telehealth visits and focus on collaborative,
evidence-based, and individualized care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Amherst
Searching for therapists in Amherst starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Amherst, MA for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach fit your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Amherst is a smaller market, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping you connected to therapists licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each therapist’s profile can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what sessions may be like before you book.
Therapy in Amherst can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Amherst, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
