Erin K. Brazill, LCSW, ATR-BC

A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. It disrupts so many things about our everyday lives. And the stress can be overwhelming for even the most resilient among us. People coping with cancer often experience heightened levels of fear, worry, pain and uncertainty. As the founder of River Birch Therapy, I help children, teens, adults and families coping with cancer to build a life and thrive beyond cancer. During sessions, I work from a whole-person, strengths-based, relational and embodied treatment approaches across the continuum of cancer care to facilitate and enhance the capacity for restorative, transformational personal growth and healing. Professionally, I am a dually Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York & Illinois and Registered, Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC). After years of training and experience in psychology, medical art therapy, and social work, my clinical work specializes in supporting individuals and families adjusting and coping with cancer experiences, including the many layers of grief and loss in connection with cancer, from initial diagnosis - through treatment - and beyond. Caring for people of all ages & different backgrounds has taught me many things, but one element has forged who I am as a clinician: hope lies at the core of healing. I am passionate about helping people traverse the cancer continuum & navigate their unique journeys of moving forward. There is hope at River Birch Therapy.
