Erin Ingram, MSW, LCSW

Life is rarely simple. Whether it’s navigating major transitions, balancing financial and work stressors, or carrying the weight of everyday struggles, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck. But I believe every experience carries meaning—nothing happens by chance. Challenges like failure, conflict, or even the ending of a relationship aren’t meant to break us; they’re opportunities to grow stronger, gain perspective, and rediscover joy.

My passion for counseling began right here in the Texas Hill Country, in the very community where I was raised and now practice. Growing up here, I witnessed firsthand the unique challenges rural families face—limited access to resources, the stigma around seeking help, and the quiet expectation to be “strong” no matter what. I also experienced the power of having someone to talk to when life felt heavy. As a child, I worked with a counselor named Max whose compassion and guidance changed the course of my life. His impact planted a seed that would become my calling: to offer others the same support and hope I was given.

Because I come from this community, I understand its strengths and its struggles. I know the pride of being from here, and I also know the silence that can come with trying to carry too much alone. That’s why, after many years of schooling and training, I chose to come back—not to bring something “big city” into the Hill Country, but to serve my hometown in a way that feels familiar, safe, and trustworthy.

Today, as a licensed therapist, my mission is to create a space where people can share openly without judgment and begin the work of transforming hardship into healing. Together, we’ll focus on building tools to manage anxiety, depression, family conflict, anger, insecurities, self-sabotaging thoughts, and the challenges of life’s many transitions. My goal is simple: to help you uncover your inner resilience, rebuild your self-esteem, and reclaim your sense of control, purpose, and joy.

Counseling doesn’t erase life’s difficulties—but it ensures you don’t face them alone. For me, this isn’t just a profession—it’s a way of giving back to the community that raised me, and a commitment to walk beside you as you pursue healing, growth, and a future filled with possibility.
