Erin Spalding

Maybe you’ve recently experienced the traumatic loss of someone you love, or maybe you’re experiencing grief due to something else—an illness, a loved one’s mental health or substance use, or loss due to incarceration or deportation.

Your loss is unique, whether it’s just happened or you’re months or years removed from it. Your grief experience is unique, too. You may feel like you don’t even know how to or want to move forward, or you may have thought you did and are only now realizing you could use some support to do that. I’m not here to minimize your experience; instead, I’m here to come alongside you as you find ways to grow from it.

I believe that the relationship you have with your therapist is a place where you can begin to heal. In our work together, we’ll actively address the grief you are experiencing and begin to understand how it affects the other parts of your life and the person you are. You have been forever changed by this experience, and I want to help you move forward not as a victim, but as a survivor.

I’ve spent my career working with clients of all ages as they navigate grief and loss. In addition to serving as the Chair of The Grief Consortium of Texas and Program Director of The Christi Center since 2008, I am also an adjunct assistant professor at University of Texas at Austin Steve Hicks School of Social Work.

I am also an LMSW Supervisor and offer supervision to LMSWs who are working toward their LCSW. Please contact me for more information.
