Erin Malone, LSW, MSW she/her

Licensed Social Worker, Master of Social Work Clinician & Therapist

Erin is a Licensed Social Worker in Chicago, IL. As a Social Worker, she is committed to acknowledging how her clients are impacted by systems of oppression outside of the office and how that affects their lived experiences. Her clinical perspectives are heavily rooted in anti-racism, social justice, and liberation!

In the therapy room, Erin prioritizes creating a safe, nonjudgemental space with each client to ensure authentic processing and healing. Her approach with clients is collaborative, strength-based, and non-judgmental. Together they explore patterns and work to develop new skills and strategies to help with navigating life's challenges while celebrating the clients' strengths.

It is important to note that while Erin does not specialize in the treatment of eating disorders she is eating disorder-informed, weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size informed, and anti-diet!

Erin is a queer, neurodivergent, person existing in a larger body. She also has lived experience as a family member of a person living with a chronic, degenerative visual impairment. Erin is open to working with folks of all identities over the age of 18.
