My Name is Erin Bunch and I am an LCSW-S. I graduated with my Master’s in Social Work from Texas A&M University-Commerce.

Call to Action

If you have ever struggled with with mental health issues then you know it can take a toll on daily activities and life. Unfortunately, many people learn to suppress their emotions and feelings. This can lead to anger outbursts and impulsivity, which can cause more mental health problems. I offer ways to help challenge negative thoughts and work through daily life stressors using CBT and other approaches.
