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 (PSY26495) offering in person sessions in Danville, CA and teletherapy to adults throughout California

Let’s be real: therapy takes a serious commitment of time, money, and energy. When you invest in therapy, you’re making a decision to stop settling for “just getting by” and start building a life that’s genuinely fulfilling. It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about gaining skills, insight, and perspective that will impact everything you do, from work to your relationships to the way you understand and relate to yourself.

Therapy is where you can finally cut through old patterns, redefine your priorities, and unlock your potential. It’s a strategic investment that pays dividends, helping you face life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose.

If you’re serious about changing, don’t hesitate. Invest in yourself, and watch how it transforms the way you show up in the world. By exploring websites like mine, you've already taken the first step toward change. Let’s keep going—reach out today and 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.
