A down-to-earth psychologist

with a practical approach

Helping You Create Lasting Change

Welcome!

I’m Dr. Erin McKnew

I’m a licensed psychologist offering in person sessions in Danville, CA and teletherapy to adults throughout California and Hawaii

Let’s be real: therapy is a serious investment of time, money, and energy. When you commit to therapy, you’re deciding to stop settling for “just getting by” and start building a life that feels genuinely fulfilling. It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about gaining the skills, insight, and perspective that will shape everything you do, from your work to relationships to the way you understand yourself. Therapy helps you cut through old patterns, redefine your priorities, and start living with more clarity and intention.

If you’re serious about change, don’t wait. Invest in yourself and see how therapy transforms the way you show up in the world. By exploring websites like mine, you’ve already taken the first step. Let’s keep going—reach out today to schedule a free 20-minute video consultation

Your path forward begins here

Do you feel stuck—like you know something needs to change, but aren’t sure where to begin? Are you struggling to balance your needs with the demands of work, parenting, or relationships? Maybe setting boundaries feels difficult, or relaxing is often postponed with so much to do. Perhaps you appear confident but wrestle with low self-esteem.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are driven and resilient yet contend with stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Others are navigating major life transitions like career changes, parenting struggles, health issues, or the end of a relationship, and are seeking clarity and direction.

Together, we can create a more balanced life—one where you feel grounded, empowered, and aligned with what matters most. I specialize in helping my clients break free from old patterns that no longer serve them, paving the way for lasting growth and fulfillment.
