Erin Sadiq

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Amherst, MA


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.

Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
