Erin Ballard is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Originally from Northern Virginia, she has a B.A. in psychology and a M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy. Erin is the owner of Family Solutions and Wellness Center, and provides counseling and supervision services throughout the states of NC & SC. 

Erin specializes in working with individuals and couples who are struggling with personal or relational challenges. Erin has strengths in working with high conflict couples, including those who have considered separation or divorce. Erin has training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) and specializes in helping couples resolve destructive cycles of interaction and communication that produce distress. 

Erin examines attachment needs and primary emotions, and works to strengthen the foundation by which individuals find love, support, connection, and safety. Erin pulls from Gottman Couples Therapy to help couples increase respect, affection, closeness, understanding, communication and conflict resolution skills. Certified in Prepare/Enrich, Erin utilizes this relationship assessment to “prepare” premarital couples for successful marriages, and to “enrich” the relationships of those who are dating or married. Erin focuses on healthy differentiation of self, and stable/secure relationship dynamics.

When couples have made the decision to separate/divorce, Erin works closely with parents in order to help foster an effective family transition that supports the individual needs of each family member. When families are struggling to blend together as a step-family, Erin works with couples to navigate this successfully.

Erin is accepting new couples and families for our two-day therapy intensives.
