Erin Brodbeck, LCSW, Clinical Supervisor

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois, I have over 15 years of social work experience in the medical, school and therapy settings. I am especially passionate about helping children ages 5-18 navigate the unique challenges at school and in their everyday lives. I also have experience working with autism and behavioral challenges.

I received my Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Eastern Illinois University. I utilize many different therapeutic techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution focused brief therapy (SFBT). I am also trained in EMDR therapy, which is used to help children and adults cope with traumatic experiences. As a Christian, I also can incorporate a Christian worldview into sessions, as I believe that Jesus Christ is the Great Healer. However, I am comfortable following the families lead if they prefer to not have that be a part of treatment.

As a former school social worker, I possess extensive knowledge of Individualized

Education Plans (IEP) and Section 504 plans. I can help you navigate the special education

process as well as assist with productive ways to communicate your child’s unique needs in the school setting. My clients, their parents/guardians, and I will work together as a team to provide the best support to meet your child where they are at. I see my clients at Grace Church here in Mahomet.

I look forward to partnering with you and your child to help them feel happy, safe and loved so that they can focus on just being a kid.
