About Erwin

Hi, I am Erwin Gilliam, a Mississippi licensed professional counselor with 5 years of direct professional work experience in therapeutic counseling. This experience includes working with clients with identity issues, stress, depression, relationship &/or marital issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and career difficulties. My background and experiences have given me a variety of opportunities and have allowed me to see the world from different angles, helping me sharpen my counseling skills.

I have a masters degree in organizational counseling psychology. In addition, I also hold an educator’s license with endorsements in school counseling and administration. To add to my career experiences, I served as a school counselor for 3 years, as an assistant principal for 7 years, and head principal for one year in a public school setting.

When it comes to therapy, I primarily use the cognitive behavioral approach with my clients; however, I am able to utilize other approaches depending on my client’s needs. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. We will work as a team in setting your goals so that you achieve the outcome you are seeking.

This first step, seeking out better health, is a huge milestone in finding the happiness and fulfillment we all desire in life. I am forever grateful that you have given me the opportunity to be a part of your journey.

He listens with patience and without judgment, which created a space where I felt comfortable being honest about difficult situations in my life. His approach is thoughtful and balanced—he allows me to process my emotions while also challenging me to think more clearly about my choices and patterns.<br /> <br /> Through our sessions, I have gained greater awareness of myself, my boundaries, and the importance of protecting my emotional well-being. He has helped me slow down, reflect, and approach situations with more clarity rather than reacting from fear or hurt.<br /> <br /> I appreciate the calm, respectful, and supportive way he communicates. Therapy can be difficult work, but his guidance has helped me feel stronger and more capable of navigating complicated relationships and personal growth.<br /> <br /> I’m grateful for the support and insight he provides and would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who truly listens and encourages meaningful self-reflection.”
