Erin A. Munroe

Erin Munroe is the author of "The Everything Guide to Stepparenting", technically reviewed by Irene Levine, PhD, and published by Adams Media. She has also authored "The Anxiety Workbook for Girls" for Fairview Press. Currently Erin works as Licensed Mental Health Counselor at the South Boston Community Health Center where she sees children, adolescents, and families experiencing a range of issues, including trauma, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorders, adjustment disorders, and more. Erin's position at the health center started as a part time position in their confidential teen clinic where Erin still provides counseling and support to teenagers struggling with anything from college applications to talking to their parents about pregnancy. Erin has been working in the mental health field since 2001 and has primarily worked with adolescents in schools as a licensed School Guidance Counselor and Adjustment Counselor and outside of school as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She found her way into the field after working with a program whose goal it was to reunite families whose children had been taken away due to abuse and neglect. A great portion of this job was dedicated to educating families on how to be the best parents they could be. The rewarding part was watching parents and guardians implement these strategies and gain success as a family unit. Following this experience, Erin attended Boston University where she earned her degree in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine. Prior to earning her graduate degree Erin attended the College of the Holy Cross where she majored in English and completed significant coursework in Deaf Studies.

Erin has two rescue dogs who make her house very messy but her home very happy.

Erin also provides trainings in Self Care, Relaxation, Life Balance, and Identifying and Managing Mental Illness in the Classroom.
