I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.
I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
I have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years and believe that therapy should be both meaningful and practical providing a space to better understand yourself while developing tools that can make a difference in your everyday life. My experience includes working with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the challenges that often come with demanding roles and responsibilities. I have also worked closely with first responders and provide clinical supervision and support to other therapists.
My approach is integrative and tailored to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed care.
Stress management is a particular area of interest in my practice. I enjoy creating guided meditation and mindfulness experiences tailored to what a client is experiencing. I also welcome opportunities to incorporate your interests, strengths, and the things that genuinely matter to you into our work together.
Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius. Many men resonate with this wisdom from Stoic philosophy. Life brings disruption, trauma, career shifts, and family transitions that can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are. I specialize in helping men reclaim identity and purpose after disruption. Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship strain, or questions of meaning, counseling offers a space to face these challenges directly while discovering resilience you may not yet see in yourself.
I am a Masters-level therapist dual-licensed in clinical mental health counseling and addictions counseling in North Carolina and Georgia. I am a Level II Certified Attachment-Based Family Therapist and a Certified Adoption Competent Therapist. I am also certified in Natural Flow EMDR. I specialize in treating adolescents, young adults, parents, and families who are struggling with a variety of mental health symptoms and behavioral problems.
Hi, I'm Erin Kalk, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North Carolina.
I have over five years of clinical experience, but what my clients tell me most often is that I'm not like any therapist they've ever known.
That's intentional.
I see you. Not in the physical way, but YOU. Beyond what you've done, how you think, how you feel.
I look for you, and whatever I find, I will not look away.

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Raleigh
Finding couples therapists in Raleigh starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, Raleigh couples counseling, and marriage counseling in Raleigh, NC may support concerns like communication patterns, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, relationship stress, and major life changes. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy in their profiles.
Raleigh offers a strong mix of local therapy options, with in-person offices across the city and virtual sessions that can make scheduling easier for two people. As you compare Raleigh marriage counselors or relationship counselors in Raleigh, NC, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session structure, and whether both partners feel aligned with the therapist’s approach. Some therapists offer a brief consultation, which can help you understand how they work with couples before you book a first session.
Couples therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find Raleigh couples therapy options that match your preferences, schedule, and insurance plan. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose a therapist who is ready to meet with new clients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
