Ignite’s Master’s Candidate Practicum Therapists
Our practicum student therapists are in the final stages of their graduate training and bring fresh perspective, dedication, and a strong foundation in evidence-based care.
This semester, they are co-facilitating group therapy offerings at Ignite under the close supervision of our Clinical Supervisory team. Beginning in the fall, they will also begin offering individual therapy services through Ignite’s Affordable Counseling Program.
Practicum student therapists are an important part of our team, and we’re proud to support their growth while expanding access to care for our community.
Erin Fallon | MA Clinical Mental Health Counseling Candidate
Erin is currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. Erin is currently receiving direct supervision and specialized training from Hester Campbell, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor & Approved Clinical Supervisor.
Erin has previously worked in Wilderness Therapy, specifically with adolescents struggling with varying mental health difficulties: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations, self-harm tendencies, and more. Most recently, Erin worked as a Clinical Case Manager supporting adults in navigating housing, benefits, mental health, substance use, and trauma, while promoting independence and internal strength.
Erin believes that when approaching one's mental health, our focus needs to be on all aspects of that human being. She focuses on creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients can explore their own thoughts and feelings. Erin strives to assist clients in gaining self-awareness and insight to further one’s personal growth. Erin will meet her clients where they’re at and focus on building a healthy and professional relationship to instill hope from within.
Outside of the therapy room, Erin spends her free time outdoors camping, riding mountain bikes, dirt bikes, taking her dog Hunter on long walks, and cozying up with a good book.
