My name is Erin Chelgren (she/her/hers) and I am a trauma-informed couples therapist, committed to helping couples heal and thrive through meaningful connection to themselves and their loved ones. My goal is for both of you to feel seen and heard while providing you with the tools required for effective communication and deep connection. My style is warm, empathetic, and direct.

I've been practicing as a therapist since 2019 and currently practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate in the state of Colorado (MFTC.0014083) at Erin Chelgren Counseling, LLC. I’m IFS-informed and have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I love my job and feel honored to be invited into people’s lives.

Along with my therapist role, I’m a woman, partner, mother to two young children, dog-mom, friend, sister, daughter, and aunt. My partner and I have been married for 12+ years and are navigating all the things that come with having a baby and toddler. I love all things outdoors, tending to my “garden” (pumpkins and flowers), learning, and connecting with my personal and professional community.

Acknowledgment: As a white, cisgender woman, I acknowledge the privilege and power that come with my identity. I’m committed to ongoing learning, reflection, and action to provide a space that is inclusive, culturally responsive, and actively antiracist. I strive to honor each client’s lived experience and the ways systemic oppression and identity shape our stories and healing.

Pursuing growth is the most courageous act and best investment a person can make for themselves, their relationships, and the world. I know how vulnerable it can feel to show up and try. I applaud you for your courage to show up anyway.
