Erin Matthews, LCSW, Advisor

Erin Matthews is a psychotherapist and founder of Living In Empathy, LLC which helps white people unpack whiteness while taking steps to authentic action. Having received training in multicultural therapy and being a woman of color, Erin has spent years honing what does and does not work for clients. Erin works extensively with racism, inclusion, and acceptance of both one’s own racial and ethnic identity and being able to move through the world with confidence. Realizing how oppression and identity impact clients has been a crucial part of her work in helping clients move forward and feel high levels of self-worth. Being able to identify client’s struggles within their family, community, and social systems has allowed her to deepen the work that she does for clients. Erin feels strongly about education around how racism impacts both community and individuals in and outside of the therapy room. Working with white people who are unfamiliar with interacting with oppressed or marginalized populations has become an integral part of her desire to both educate and promote improving racial relations.
