Erin K Engle, PSYD

Dr. Engle is such a great therapist. Deeply knowledgable and well-read practitioner, interacts with patients in a highly professional, yet genuinely caring and compassionate manner. Dr. Engle approached my concerns with thoughtfulness and attention to detail, providing useful behavioral tools that appeared to be customized to my specific needs. Expertly employing CBT techniques, Dr. Engle ensured that every session was a productive meeting and that positive progress was consistently achieved. I definitely recommend Dr. Engle; she has been immensely helpful in addressing mental health issues, and provided indispensable support so that I could succeed in achieving my professional and personal goals during challenging times.

A little less than a year ago, amid a difficult situation that left me feeling at the end of my rope, it was a stroke of luck I was recommended to connect to Dr. Engle. Our weekly conversations ever since have been a precious emotional education. Looking back, working with Dr. Engle has helped me stand on my feet again, and gradually find the means to rediscover my courage, confidence, self-esteem, inner strengths, joy, and spark. My family and friends join me in noticing how my mood and outlook have changed so much for the better and share my immense gratitude to Dr. Engle. Dr. Engle, through her knowledge, experience, empathy, and skillfulness, helped me see the big picture and my values clearly while navigating unpredictable and challenging situations, taught me how to be mentally flexible and figure out options even when there seemed to be none, and despite the difficult situation that was in my recent history, dare I say, feeling a little more ready to take on life, whatever… adventures and challenges it might bring about next. I came out of the experience working with Dr. Engle appreciating much more the unmatched power of a good therapist, and I would only hope people in a similar situation as I was are also lucky enough to work with one like her. By my bedside, I have always had a sign that reads 'May there always be an angel by your side'. It was often challenging to look at the sign during the difficult couple of years before I started working with Dr. Engle. It is hard for me to put in words precisely how Dr. Engle is particularly effective at what she does: what a delicate art it is to deal with human minds and spirits! However, I think what Dr. Engle is so good at - helping us restore faith and hope, becoming aware of our mood and thoughts, learning how to take care of ourselves, finding joy and motivation in life - is doing the work of an angel.

Dr. Engle helped me navigate and overcome the crushing depression I experienced after my divorce. I've seen several different therapists over the years, but no one else has ever shown the same kind of insightful intelligence. Her skill and authentic empathy brought me back to life.

Dr. Engle created a very welcoming and safe environment to freely discuss my anxiety/depression issues. She was very warm, compassionate and understanding and this helped me to express my difficulties and emotions without the fear of being judged. I saw Dr. Engle for about four months and I was very uncertain whether any therapy techniques would really work for me but she really encouraged me to keep an open mind. I guarantee you by the end of the four months, with her encouragement, I had acquired multiple skills that I still use to overcome my anxiety and panic attacks. I would definitely recommend anybody who would want to seek her help.

Before I came to see Dr. Engle I was skeptical about therapy, having had many bad experiences prior. But from day 1, Dr. Engle made me feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. She helped me through a really hard time in my life and I looked forward to talking to her every week. She was always available by phone or text if I needed her and was always willing to be flexible for my schedule. I could go on for hours about how amazing Dr. Engle is. I highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling. She is an amazing resource and your biggest cheerleader. You're in good hands with her.

I saw Dr. Engel for about 16 months (usually weekly) for help dealing with some anxiety and low-grade depression. Dr. Engel taught me to reframe some of my thinking and encouraged me to re-engage with activities that I enjoy and to reconnect with my values. She also helped me understand some of the techniques that a patient can use analyze and mitigate their own feelings of anxiety (for example by taking an inventory of feelings of anxiety or gathering more information about the facts surrounding the event or idea provoking the anxiety). Overall I feel that I am closer to being where I want to be after learning from Dr. Engel. I think that during our sessions she communicated very effectively, was very receptive to my concerns, and was able to draw on both practical experience and a deep understanding of the processes that underlie mood issues. The receptionists were helpful, the office was clean and comfortable, and the location of the practice was reasonably convenient. I would… definitely recommend Dr. Engel to those who find that the same old self-directed approach to feeling down or anxious is no longer working.
