ERIN BENATOR

About Erin:

Erin is obtaining her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University. Her passion for the arts led her to achieve her BFA in Writing from the Savannah College of Art and Design and MA in Museum Studies from Marist College - Lorenzo de' Medici Institute. She aims to create a therapeutic space where one can access, connect, embrace, and heal all parts that need tending to.  

Erin’s lived experience informed her desire to be a counselor, providing her with knowledge and skills to help neurodivergent female teens and adults successfully navigate life transitions. Her mission is to help girls and women overcome self-doubt and perfectionist tendencies and embrace their authentic selves. Erin specializes in helping those with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, anxiety, depression, and disordered eating.

Grounded in her experience as a personal trainer, Erin views health and wellness are rooted in psychological and physiological self-care and stresses the importance of mind-body connection in her practice. She believes strength and self-confidence reside internally through compassion, calm, courage, and confidence. She supports her clients in replacing feelings of never being “enough, not belonging, guilt, and shame by providing them with functional tools to increase emotional regulation, self-esteem, and social connection.

Her current therapeutic approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS). By working from this approach, she views individuals as a system composed of wounded and protected “inner parts” guided by one’s foundational “Self”. By accessing these inner parts, one can recognize and heal them, becoming more internally and externally connected.

Erin will begin working with Peachtree Psychology in August, 2025.
