Hi, my name is Wes Erwin. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota. I have provided counseling and supervision and taught in the area of mental health for over twenty years. I have a Ph.D. in Counseling and Human Development from The University of Iowa.
It is very important for me to listen and to understand what you want and need. Honest and genuine communication is the starting point in any healthy relationship. I believe a counselor needs to be flexible and different clients need different types of help. Trust, honesty, and hope are all important aspects in a counseling relationship.
My approach to counseling may be client centered, cognitive behavioral, or solution focused. I believe that attending to one’s environment and culture is important in understanding the whole person.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
